As the VP of a small (30 emp) medical software company, Obamacare has me trembling in my little booties. One of my competitors, however, may be salivating and licking their lips. We can compete with this other company on 'quality of product' - no problem. But if the government should choose to select 'one official LIS' then it is not going to be us they choose...it will probably be them.
So one of the options open to a company is to try to get on the inside of a government project so that they can eliminate their competition legislatively.
Let's see, getting a private investor to prop-up Lehman instead of a government bailout - nothing wrong with that. Being on the board of a medical company that would benefit from O'care doesn't seem to be remarkable either. And the final item was being on the board of InnoVida, where once he was informed of wrongdoing he reportedly began to investigate and take appropriate actions to protect shareholders. Doesn't seem like there's anything amiss here.
That said, I'm not a big Bush family supporter. They are right wing progressives, but progressives nonetheless.
It doesn't matter. Many more neocons and beltway, checkpants conservatives will vote for him over Rand Paul, anyway. I predicted long ago that Hillary will be the next President. I'm adding to that today...predicting that Jeb will be the GOP candidate. He's perfect. For his running-mate he might even pick that guy from Texas who could only remember two things and forced everybody to take Gardasil shots - Rick Perry. Yeah, that will probably be the ticket.
Me? I want to see Rob Ford and Chris Christie on the same ticket...
It's done more harm than good. It has harmed more people than it has helped. That's what's wrong with it. Blowing your head off with a shotgun prevents some forms of cancer too. Maybe we should make that manditory. Some would line up for it because they are sure the government loves them.
I used to work for a company too that I didn't always agree with their politics, but that didn't make me leave. Maybe Bush's company can make Obamacare work, or make it better. Isn't that what the left has been hollering about?
He's attractive, a moderate, and can speak fluent Spanish. The Republican mainliners will love him, and he'd be better than Obama (but, that goes for almost anyone short of Hitler). He'd also move the Republicans closer to the Democrats and eventually, what we would have is a single party system with two different names (almost there now).
dems/repulicans are ALL BIRDS OF A FEATHER don't you wonder why the R's aren't doing anything to stop what the D's are doing to the country. I am constantly amazed to hear D's say the R's don't give to the poor, BS they probably give more, just look at the bush record or the Reagan record of hand outs. to much to think about but what if nobody showed up at the voting booths!
If Jeb and Hillary are the choices offered by the two major parties on the ticket in 2016, I will vote for a can of Lima beans first. I would give my eye teeth for a viable, better 3rd party alternative... my taste buds have apparently already been sacrificed.
Danno, all is lost ONLY when you give up. I'm a Conservative American veteran and the fight is finished when they dump my ashes into the sea or make me into a cornerstone brick. :)
Hello Danno, Say it ain't so... I know, I am a hopeless romantic. My mind objectively tells me the same, but my heart keeps hoping I will wake up from a bad nightmare... Respectfully, O.A.
Wait a minute! I thought Obamacare was horrible for business.

Let's hear it for Blackwater and, and, and, and,...

Sorry for the rant....
Perhaps you might understand my skepticism. I've seen folks with agendas make claims before.
IOW, if folks can demand to see proof of global warming then I think it's appropriate to ask for proof in medical issues.
Thank you.
