I still have no answers from the Kentucky Delegation on where they stand on HB 676 that would provide health insurance for all Americans.
But there was this piece of news in the Herald-Leader:
“Humana Inc. reported yesterday that its second-quarter profit more than doubled from a year ago on the strength of improved cost controls and sharply higher income from its government business……
Michael B. McCallister, Humana's president and chief executive officer, called it "probably the best quarter we've had" since he became the company's CEO in 2000. He said it was the result of "virtually every line of business doing better," noting improvements in the commercial segment and a dramatic expansion of its Medicare business.”
It’s good to know they doubled their profits because they certainly need protection.
From the Washington Post:
President Bush has attacked the proposals as big-government attempts to enlarge the federal role in health care, saying they would siphon choice away from individuals and reduce private insurance coverage for some children.
This is just plain shameful.

Marriage: God's Way
The shills for the Family Foundation are back in Frankfort.
From the Herald-Leader:
“Children holding signs that read "Marriage: God's Way" and senior citizens in wheelchairs with stickers demanding protection of marriage joined a crowd that filled the Capitol Rotunda yesterday protesting domestic-partner benefits……..
Either way, Rep. Danny Ford, R-Mount Vernon, asked the crowd to line the steps as protesters did in 2004 in support of a constitutional amendment that defined marriage as being between a man and a woman.”
I’m still waiting for Danny Ford or Martin Cothran or any member of the Family Foundation to trot out the family whose marriage was saved by the constitutional amendment. I want to see just one man and woman stand up and say their marriage was saved by this constitutional amendment.
The only thing this group wants to do is to limit availability of health insurance to a group of people that they don’t understand or like.
Bigotry, even when it’s institutionalized is still bigotry.
