Baltimore Sun on Big Money and Health Care Reform

Submitted by Johnny Papagiannis on Fri, 06/26/2009 - 8:50am.

The Baltimore Sun has an editorial today on the battle in Congress over health care reform and the role that big money will play in the outcome. The editorial cites a recently released report by Common Cause.

 

The report, "Legislating Under the Influence," found that health care interests are spending $1.4 million per day lobbying Congress. About $94 million went to congressional candidates in the last election cycle alone, with much of it going to the members serving on committees and subcommittees that oversee reforms.

As with any great idea, they spend all the money on deciding how it will work and how it will cost, when comes to taking action there is no more money left. A good way to make money is with yournetbiz

I have nothing against the big budget if it is being used for the government project which will be of great advantage to the people.

When any such big budget happens, It is nice that these huge amount is going to spend for general public purpose but In major case the whole lot of amount is unable to be spend in such good purpose as 1/2 of the amount is abducted by the top official inside in it. So while undertaking any such big project hope there should be some organization who keeps an eye on the penny spend on such events.

I have nothing against the big budget if it is being used for the government project which will be of great advantage to the people. What makes it worst is when you spend a lot for nothing, if it is aimed for a certain purpose and good cause I think nobody will make a complain for it. We all need some help with financing, but often don't have a lump sum lying around in petty cash to pay off the really big things in life, which is where an installment loan comes in. An installment loan is a loan where you make installment payments to pay off the debt incurred by said installment loans. You can also get a short term loan for sudden expenses with a payment plan, which is also an installment loan.
