Published 29/08/08 06:20:10
US revenues for elder care services will rise 6.6 percent annually through 2011, driven largely by demographic changes. Skilled nursing facilities will stay the top segment while home health care services grow the fastest. For-profit institutions will remain the largest provider category and will slightly outpace nonprofit types. This study analyzes the $192 billion US elder care service industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1996, 2001 and 2006 and forecasts for 2011 and 2016 by type (e.g., skilled nursing care facilities, home health care services, continuing care retirement communities, social services, assisted living facilities); provider (for-profit, nonprofit); payment source (e.g., Medicaid, Medicare, out-of-pocket, private insurance); and regional market. The study also considers market environment factors, details industry composition, evaluates company market share and profiles 38 major players, including Manor Care, GGNSC Holdings, and Kindred Healthcare.

I thought it was a remarkably indifferent speech delivered well by a superb orator. He's going give us: - universal health care - tax cut for 95% of Americans - spend $150 billion to make us energy independent in 10 years - take care of deficits - take care of Social Security and pay for it by - cutting tax loopholes for corporations Yeah, sure. He did have some good lines and themes, particularly: - making fun of the 'ownership' society - it means "you're on your own". It's an effective bit of rhetoric though the intent is loathsome and turns back the clock a generation - glib lines on abortion, "no unwanted pregnancies" and gun ownership, "uphold the Second Amendment and take away AK-47s" - John McCain is a good man but "just doesn't get it." "How can he be an agent of change if he agrees with Bush 90% of the time." Impresses the troops, some nice rhetoric but WHERE'S THE BEEF?? Juan Williams finds it less than satisfying. He pretty much panned it. Felt that he really didn't convince anyone who didn't already support him. Bill Kristol, surprisingly, thinks very highly of it and says it hits McCain on the Country First slogan. |

| 29/08/08 | Points About Bill Clinton (Speech of) (The Corner) | |
Published 29/08/08 02:40:44
The former president said, "I will never forget the parents of children with autism and other serious conditions who told me on the campaign trail that they couldn't afford health care and couldn't qualify their children for Medicaid unless they quit work and starved or got a divorce. Are these the family values the Republicans are so proud of?" Yeah, yeah, they're the family values we're so proud of -- how right you are, Billy J. That was the cheapest shot of Clinton's speech, and one of the cheapest shots of the convention (which is saying something). And we need no lectures on family values from the likes of Bill Clinton. He said, "What about the assault on science and the defense of torture?" Well, there has been no assault on science, unless he means that the Bush administration has not marched to Al Gore's tune. As for "the defense of torture" -- waterboarding and mass-murdering terrorists is a fairly complicated issue, and Clinton knows it. "What about the war on unions and the unlimited favors for the well-connected?" A war on unions? And did he really mean "unlimited"? And weren't the Clinton years a bonanza for the well-connected, including big-money-men from the East? "What about Katrina and cronyism?" he said. Yeah, what about them? And is Bill Clinton going on about other people's cronyism? Shouldn't President Lippo keep somewhat mum about that? And get this: "On the two great questions of this election -- how to rebuild the American dream and how to restore America's leadership in the world -- [McCain] still embraces the extreme philosophy that has defined his party for more than 25 years." In other words, he dates this "extreme philosophy" to Reagan, and he considers Reaganism extreme. Well, then we must be an extreme nation: because we elected Reagan twice, by very, very wide margins. I'm a Reaganite. You might well be a Reaganite -- and Bill Clinton considers us "extremists." And we say, Nuts to that. Clinton further said, "It's a philosophy the American people never actually had a chance to see in action fully until 2001, when the Republicans finally gained control of both the White House and the Congress." This brings up a point I have long made: the gap between conservative perceptions of Bush and liberal perceptions of Bush. Conservatives I talk with think that Bush has been a big-spending, amnesty-granting squish. And liberals think he's Goldwater at his purest. What a screwy country. Clinton said, "It [whatever] didn't work in 1992, because we were on the right side of history. And it will not work in 2008, because Barack Obama is on the right side of history." What does the "right side of history" mean? It is Marxian claptrap, as far as I'm concerned. All it means is, "I think I'm right." Clinton gave a superb speech, from a political point of view. But from the point of view of truth and light -- cripe. |

| 29/08/08 | The man who helped John McCain to draft his health care plan says the solution is to change the definition of "uninsured". WTF! (The Immoral Minority) | |
Published 29/08/08 01:43:00
This is a quote from John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a right-leaning Dallas-based think tank. And the man who helped craft Sen. John McCain's health care policy: "So I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime," Mr. Goodman said. "The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American ? even illegal aliens ? as uninsured. Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment should they need care. "So, there you have it. Voila! Problem solved." This is what the Republicans are famous for. They do not solve problems they simply work to redefine them. Where do you think the phrase "Partial birth abortion" comes from? Or "Tax and Spend Liberal"? Or "Catastrophic Success"? Or "Death tax"? Or the "War on Terrorism"? If you think about the real definition of each phrase you realize it is complete gobbedly gook, but it still finds its way into our lexicon and the next thing you know even the Democrats start using them. It is time for us to stop letting the Republicans destroy our language in an attempt to manipulate us into not noticing just how broken and empty their solutions really are. |
