Agree with comments about Cougars. My daughter is an alumnae, but I could care less about their football failures and even less than that about basketball. I am a fairly active sports fan, but I go to another station when I want sports talk. I listen most of the day except 12-3, can’t stand bombstic, self promoting, sometimes rude, “progressive” version of Rush Limpball. Also is Mike M’s gratuitious swearing necessary?, it deteracts from, often, important points.
Perchance we could replay Stephanie in the afternoon and Thom after Randi.

Hey as a Native American who by Congressional decree an treaties with the same I am suposed to be intitled to health care coverage. What a jock the only way to get said coverage is if I live on a reservation 40 plus miles out in the Cascade Moutians of the Northwest. I choose to live in Tacoma for the fact there are no jobs any were near my reservation. I have bbeen looking for a job for close to 15 months in my field I am a qualified Sous Chef. No one is hiring so I have had no health care for almost two years. Hang on I do get Health care through the Puyallup Tribe but that is only at their facility. Say if I have to go to an Emergency room I am on the hook for the bill unless I commit fraud and lie and say I laive inside the Puyallup Reservation. All I have to do is have a phone number at some ones house on the reservation and have it billed to that address. Since I can not afford to move the 1.5 miles to live inside said reservation this is my only opption. Since I am not into committing fraud I am on the hook for $17,000.00 dollars of hospital bills. One for steroid induced diabetis $14,000.00 for four days of Hospital bills , and $3,000.00 for a mild heart attack with a diagnosed 10 percent blockage. Because I have no health insurance the heart attack stay was only 14 hours, the dcotors wanted to do stress tests and a angiogram but they released me instead becuase the Puyallup Tribee, my Tribe Sauk-Suiattle Tribe nor the Indian Health Services would not pay so they sent me home.
I saw the doctor at the Puyallup Tribe and told them about what happened and they could not or would not do anything to see what damage was done to my heart or prescribe any treatment. I have talk with Rep. Norm Dicks ofice as well as Rep Adam Siths Office who is the Rep for the district that represents the Puyallup Tribe. Adam Smith aide told me that he only deals with the Tribe not individuals so quit calling his office. Norm dicks office did not say that but was not very intersted in helping me with my problems other than say when health care reform comes through I would not have to worry about it any more. From the Legislration I have seen it will not go into effect until 20013 so were is the help. If my heart is damaged by ten percent and with the diabetis I now suffer from I may not live tose this suposed Health Care reform.

Hello I am a Native American. I have no health insurance and relly upon Indian Health Services for care. This is how bad it is. Since I do not live on the Puyallup Indian Reservation ( I live just about a mile and a quarter outside the boundry) I only can recieve care at the Puyallup run health care facillity. Say if like f=four months ago I went to the emergeny room with a possible heart attack Indain Health Services and the Puyallup Tribe will not pay for that visit. I was diagnosed with a Ten percent blockage and was tgen released after ten hours. Becuase I have no health insurance and Indian Health Services do not cover me all test that they wanted to do before I left was cancelled and was sent home. When I saw my Doctor at the Puyallup Tribe they just blew me of because I am not intitled to any thing other than care at there Medical facility. So I sit here with a diagnosed heart blockage and no were to get care. Now here is the but, I a commit fraud by the advce of one of the care works and use someones address that lives in side the boundries of the Puyallup tribe I would be able to get the full coverage I need, Such as being sent to a heart specialist to have a heart stress test and a angiogram to determine the extent of the blockage. So the Tribe and Indian Health Services have the funds to cover all my health care needs if I do this but not when I do the right thing and not commit and act of fraud by the the advice of the health care worker at the tribe,

The United States looks very foolish to the rest of the world, because Americans seem to fear anything unfamiliar, incliding something like single payer healthcare, which would benefit everyone. I lived in the Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia), as a child and greatly benefitted from the so-called “socialized” healthcare. At the age of twelve I moved with my family to Canada and had absolutely no problems with that system of healthcare, and my mother, who recently retired is very happy with it and trust me, no one is trying to kill this “granny”, so stop being so affraid. As FDR said “the only thing to fear is fear itself”.

No one seems to be talking about the fact that the girl who Polanski was involved with is now saying that what the courts put her thru at the time was much worse than what Polanski did & she does not want to go thru that again.

Welcome to it . I have to say as a rep. I do love your show. You funny as hell, you and your staff. I love the the way you start my mornings even thou I disagree with you about almost everthing, your consistant and funny and beautiful. The only real thing i want to ask is before this health bill came to light and they were going to try to pass, you and every lebral were all for it. then it came out about all the crazy things that were in it from; making it manditory for bank accounts to be establish to I R S, tax payers have to sign up for this or pay a fine etc… they tried to pass it so quick that know one could read or see the bill and you were ok with that. Does it matter if it was a rep or dem, do you think the have all the right answers… no no no . How do you have a health care reform bill thats drawn up by left wing lebrals for the whole country when you know we all don’t see I to I. Stephanie you know damn well if a reps came up with a health care bill you’d reject it in a minute. So when gets rejected from dem ( which work for the lobbiest) Rep ( which are hate Obama cause he’s black) and everyone which are nazi. Can you actually tell me that theres know one who can’t disagree and still be sane. Short on time and dought you’ll get this anyway but if intrested i’ll tell you at least 5 good reason on another way to solve our health care problem and why an already messed up gov. rep. and dem want help. Oh yeah I am a 33yr old black man who loves his country.

Yesterday, Tom mention that during the early years of our nation the Government provided for health care and that in the same period a church wanted to take that service over and wanted the funding.. I would like to have that source as I am doing research for an article. This reference would be very helpful.
Thank you
