President Miller! Good to see you on the green again, and fighting for health coverage reform done right. And I would love to see the good Dr. Holm go toe-to-toe with Tea Party doc R. Blake Curd— I don't think R. Blake would come out feeling very well.---------------

We need three items for quality health care (1) Charges to the patient. (2) Fundraisers to pay for patient care that is not profitable. (3) Government grants.

Charges to the patient -- higher deductibles? Ban private insurance?
