Doc

Thanks for your response. I hope you didn't think I was disparaging your motives. I most certainly was not.

Your information pretty much confirmed what I thought but you described it much better.....and more passionately. :>)

What really teed me off about government interference in health care was a recent Medicare payment to the doctor who has treated me for 35 yers. When I saw how much had been cut, I wanted to pay him the difference. When he told me he could be in trouble if he accepted it, I was angry that this government actually has in it's laws an element that forbids me to pay a physician what I want. He's a golfer...so I sent him a dozen golf balls. Let 'em try to trace that.:>)

So... how do you fix the thumb joint next to the wrist originally dislocated from trying to snag a line drive bare handed on the mound 58 years ago? You knew something like that was coming, didn't you? :>):>):>)
