Hello – is there anybody out there who still believes our leaders in Washington care about what the Constitution of the United States says? Or what it was intended to mean? Or even that it exists? If there actually is anybody out there who still believes this, recent discussions on Capitol Hill about proposed federal legislation should dispel such thought from the minds of even the most die-hard optimists.
Legislation dealing with the delivery and cost of health care in the United States is nearing votes in both houses of the Congress. Although differing significantly in their details, the primary proposals in both the House and the Senate establish clearly it will be the heavy hand of the federal government, not patients and their doctors, who will be controlling health care decision-making in the decades to come.
With such a massively expensive and substantively far-reaching piece of legislation being debated at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, one would hope that our "leaders" in Washington, DC might at least pretend to articulate a constitutional justification. It wouldn't be that hard, considering the precedents available at least since the 1930s for finding a justification for even the most intrusive government programs and regulations hiding somewhere in that magnificent document. Even were the infamous "commerce clause" deemed not sufficient to provide a justification for a government program, the always popular "general welfare clause" could be dragged out to provide constitutional cover.
In this age of constitutional ignorance, however, Nanny State proponents don't even bother pretending to provide a constitutional underpinning for whatever government–based and taxpayer-funded program they advocate. HR 3962, the massive "Affordable Health Care for America Act of 2009," is almost 2,000 pages long and would spend more than 1.2 trillion taxpayer dollars, but contains nary a reference to the Constitution; no wave of the hand to "general welfare" or even a passing homage to the "commerce clause."
In fact, when asked recently by a reporter if the health care bill was "constitutional," Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded disdainfully, "Are you serious? Are you serious?" Obviously, she never answered the question.
The reason Pelosi never answered the question about the constitutional foundation for the legislation, is because quite simply, there is none. There is no legitimate basis in the Constitution for the government to control decisions regarding what health care a person receives, what medical services and medications are appropriate for a patient, who is to pay for those services and products and how much they are to cost. Of course, for a federal government that recently concluded it is proper to bail out some private business but not others, to purchase controlling interest in some corporations but not others, and to honor certain contracts but not others, it's not really that big a step to directly control individual health care.
The response to another question about the constitutionality of a proposed federal edict is even more revealing of the low esteem in which many congressional leaders hold that once sacred document. West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who chairs the Commerce Committee, apparently is peeved about people who "text" with their handheld electronic devices while driving. Not content to leave responsibility for addressing the problem to the several states, through long-standing laws that allow civil suits and criminal prosecutions of persons who cause accidents while driving negligently (for whatever reason, including being distracted by an electronic device), Rockefeller is proposing federal legislation to ban "texting" while driving.
At a recent Commerce Committee hearing, during which concerns were raised about the constitutionality of such legislation, and about the principle of "federalism," Rockefeller proudly proclaimed his constitutional disinterest thus — "I don't really give a hoot about states' rights or federal rights on this one. I care about results." The "results" include another nail in the coffin of constitutional governance in the United States.

What a smart, self-righteous dude we have here in chuck, who appears to be infected by the geniuses he teaches. Why do we need the Supreme Court anyway, when his 8th graders have "very little trouble understanding and APPLYING Constitutional Principles." A mode stupid claim will be hard to find in a hurry.
One of the skills chuck lacks, unfortunately, is to read and understand arguments. "Your off-handed dismissal of the 10th Amendment as it relates to the healthcare bill shows both your political and intellectual immaturity." It matters nothing to Chuck that I never dismissed, off-handedly or not, 10th Amendment as it related to the healthcare bill. I escaped him that I never ventured any opinion regarding the constitutionality of that bill. I guess I can leave it now safely to his 8th graders.
Similarly, his shouting about what the Federal government is NOT ALLOWED to do, etc., has nothing to do with anything I have written.

Hard Right Hook: "The Congress writes legislation, the Executive branch signs the legislation into law, and the Judiciary reviews and rules on disputes/cases. It is NOT the judiciary's job to re-write bad legislation."
Thanks for the civic lecture. Has anybody here advocated the judiciary to re-write bad legislation?

Mark, There is a huge difference between health care & health insurance.
We have the best health care in the world. That's why people from all over the world come here for health care, especially those from countries with socialized medicine. No one is denied health care.
You seem to assume that health insurance saves lives. 2 million people with health insurance die every yr. 90,000 people die each yr. from infections from hospital care from poor hand sanitation. Up to 200,000 die each yr. from medical error. One country just banned their doctors from wearing neckties.

Linda, Is here any argument somewhere in what you have written? I would be the first one to emphasize the difference between health care and health insurance. I might have done it even already, rejecting the claim of the detractors of the reform that it amounted to government health care. What the reform is about is health insurance.
However, we do NOT have the best health care in the world. Give me one evidence of that. We have the best medical technology in the world, which is not accessible to everyone. That is why some people from other countries are coming here, those who can afford it. Have you not heard of the thousands of people from the US who go to India or Thailand annually to have surgeries done there, because they cannot afford the here?
Finally, you contradict yourself with the your data about causes of death. Is that what you call best health care in the world? Moreover, none of those numbers means that people do not die because of lack of insurance – they do.

Mark: The whole of government is the overhead. Just because the costs are separated (like they did with the "fix" where they put the Medicare budget stuff as a separate bill) doesn't mean they are not there.
For free market solutions, just off the top of my head, Lasik surgery, cosmetic surgery and $4 generic drugs at Walmart, Walgreens and CVS are good examples.
Seniors are for Medicare because they paid for it, and it's that or nothing (note the inability to refuse Medicare but collect SS) and now they are right where gov't wants them – dependent. (I hold that gov't wants everyone either submissive (producers) or dependent (everyone else) to maintain control and their pseudo aristocracy). Now you may believe that the government won't do the same bad things the insurance company does, but there is nothing in the history of big gov't to found such hopes on.
Now I can't speak for you, but for myself, I do not wish to give up my freedom to the control of government. I've seen government dictations to "help" people not be declined coverage here in MA – and it results in the highest premiums in the country and at least 1 (absolutely proven and well documented case) innocent being wrongly jailed due to it.
In the rush to jam this down our throats, equally as concerning as a rush to war in Iraq, too many people aren't taking into consideration that the Goverment may be exactly as bad as the insurance, but with the added power of making their own rules and allowing politics to interfere in people's private and personal decisions. What if GWB were running the system, would you still want it?

Mark: Do you think there will be ANY incentive to further technology if there's nothing to gain?? Every other country in the world depends on US footing the bill to gain new drugs, new technologies and procedures. Without us, there would still be some, but not nearly as many. Do you remember how quickly cell phone technology advanced after a real competetive market? Government cannot fairly compete with anybody when they can put a gun to your head to make you buy a product or pay a bill.
I agree that insurance companies are bad, but it is because of government assistance, not lack thereof. These companies have exploited government to craft favorable rules, keep out startup competition and gain exemptions from the free market risks they otherwise would face. But beyond that, their "profit" is about 2%.
We'll never have cheaper insurance when nobody cares what the cost of things are. There is no incentive NOT to go to the doctor the moment one has a runny nose, or when little snowflake has a 99.6 temperature. Then they pay a flat fee?? Who pays the rest – they do indirectly, and everybody else. What insurance, other than health, do people WANT to use?? What's next, grocery insurance? Mortgage payment insurance (flat fee, regardless of house size..)??
It's not all cases, but I think that in too many cases, supporters of this bill are those that want somebody else to pay for their bills so they don't have to – AND they are the ones that making the honest people with problems suffer. We wouldn't even be talking about tort reform if so many people weren't so willing to sue for b.s. reasons.

FYI – I meant to specify, it's auto insurance mandates I was referring to in MA. The case is a gentleman named Michael Graham. He had not cancelled another state ins. (though had the mandated insurance in state) and was arrested, took it to court and the case was dropped because there was no case.

PatHenry: I do not have to believe "that the government won't do the same bad things the insurance company does," I have evidence. The Medicare is the evidence. You should listen to doctors: The overwhelmingly prefer dealing with Medicare than with private insurance companies.
If you prefer the private insurance bureaucrats to make decisions what treatment they would pay for, I have no problem with it. But why do you want to deprive other people, who want a government-run insurance, to take advantage of it?

This debate is compelling, but we're getting away from the point –
The calls of "where in the constitution" – does it really matter that it's said for things you don't like, it only matters that you respect the boundaries for the things you'd want to do that also breach the boundaries.
The constitution is what it is. And Bob's point was more the lack of even pretending to give a hoot about the limitations (like a gangster laughing at the laws, "guilty as sin, free as a bird", etc. etc.) and then being (at least seemingly) offended at the idea that one would ask a question that the "asking" is always legitimate. Even a poor answer is better than what we've seen displayed without shame.
Perhaps Mark or others that support the specific bill would be so generous as to answer the question that Pelosi would not? (Seriously, I would like to know, I'm not only being contentious) Otherwise those like myself that oppose it have one more point to add to our side of the debate and if I were with them, I wouldn't want to give my opposition that benefit.

Mark: If I can opt out completely (meaning I don't pay a dime for it), and it takes no freedom from me, then I would not oppose it. I do not care a bit about what others do that doesn't directly affect me (I -am- a constitutional libertarian, after all), but reading h.r. 3200, (I haven't yet read the new 2000pager, I'll do so this weekend) there was plenty of things that would take from me, compel me and restrict me. If I get a guarantee like what I mentioned (beyond owning a gun and a willingness to die on my feet before living on my knees… ) I would not stand in your way sir.
November 10th, 2009
5:04 pm
PatHenry: You are confusing a financial service such as health insurance, with production. I have nothing against competition in production, and no desire for the government to be involved.
The idea that a competition between health insurance companies can result in lowering the cost is a fantasy, and contrary to all evidence. Health insurance companies do not produce anything. They take our money, skim a large portion for their overhead and some profit, and do everything they can to pay as little as possible for health care. It makes little difference that their profit is 2%, when their overhead is 20-30%. The claim that insurance companies are bad because of the government is simply preposterous.
November 10th, 2009
5:20 pm
Mark: A company cannot force you to buy their product or service (in this case, a service), the government can (not legitimately, but by force nonetheless). That is the problem and my gravest concern in this matter. I despise the notion that they will FORCE me to buy anything, insurance or tea or a Chevy..) and think that is perfectly fine. Should I compel you to buy a gun? Should I compel you to serve in the military? Never – but that is exactly what is proposed here.
The next step (maybe it's in there, I don't know) will be prohibition of just buying products and services WITHOUT their centrallized record keeping system and controls. Why? So they can control everything about your life, whether intentionally malicious, or through so-called "for your own good" benevolence.
Try making alcohol and selling it to your neighbor, consentually, age of majority. BATFE will be knocking on your door with "shoot on sight" authority, Ruby Ridge style… Probably that is extreme and improbable, but it IS absolutely -possible-.

Mark: If govenment involvement is benign, why then are insurance companies exempt from anti-trust? Why can't one buy insurance out of state?
November 10th, 2009
5:24 pm
Any why don't you just start your own insurance company then? If they don't "need to" pay overhead (again, ALL of government is Medicare's overhead) you could gain all the market share of the financial service, right? If there's no subsidies, no funding outside of premiums, what's the difference? (Its in the letter of the law differing from the sales pitch for the so-called public option, they fully intend to subsidize and externally fund and most everybody knows it.)

PatHenry: Your desire for government not being able to do things is not just naïve, it is unrealistic. We all are members of a society, derive many benefits from it, and have to pay some price. You may want to move to a log cabin away from civilization, or to an undiscovered, uninhabited island to have your wish. There are countless things people are forced to buy all the time.
You are using the discredited argument about what will happen if … End of liberty. End of civilization. You do not want to be forced to buy health insurance, although you probably have one, on the principle that it is coercion. I do not want to pay for the huge costs of health care due to the fact that some people gamble, do not buy insurance and when they cannot pay, get treatment in ER for five times the normal cost, and other expensive treatments when they are injured or seriously ill.
November 10th, 2009
5:48 pm
PatHenry: I think you touched on a very satlient point. When Govt. "costs" are such that a company can save when they become self insured, I think you'll see many more head that direction. Just like Mark could do; self insure.
But that requires that a company be profitable, and the Lefties want profit eradicated from our system of commerce. Makes for big problems.

You will paying much,much more with this bill. How naive can one get to believe that the feds will lower cost.?
Top Ten insurance companies had approx. 6 billion dollars profit in 2008.
Medicaid/Madicare had approx. 60 billion dollar fraud, waste, abuse the same year.

Mark @ 4:06, The House health care insurance reform bill has nothing to do with health care insurance reform because it does not reform health care insurance & the Dems will never reform health care insurance.
This bill approved by the House is to insure another 36 million people, divided by 50 states, is an average of another 720,000 people per state. There's only 760,000 drs in the US, already a shortage. Remember the laws of supply & demand in Econ 101? Delays caused by the quantity of insured will reduce the quality of health care.
In Canada, in '93, the average wait from the time a patient received a referral to see a specialist was 9.3 wks. In '97, it was 11.7 wks. & now it's 17.3 wks. Unions control health care. Weekend & evening procedures aren't allowed. Waits for colonoscopies have resulted in a 25% higher incidence of color cancer compared to the US. Some of the cancer drugs we routinely use to treat colon cancer are banned in Canada because of their expense. 41% of Canadians with colon cancer die compared to 32% of Americans. The overall rate of cancer deaths in Canada is 16% higher than in the US. I understand that in NYC, the waiting room where patients receive an MRI is full of people from other countries.
Yes, people from 3rd world countries come to the US for medical care due to our technology, but those from Canada & other countries with govt care come here to prevent waiting for life-saving tests & treatment.
Most Americans who go to India & Thailand go there for elective/cosmetic surgery, not covered by most insurance companies, because everything is cheaper in those countries than in the US.
I didn't contradict myself, but let me restate what I said. Having health insurance will not keep you from dying. People die whether they have it or not. People who have the best insurance still die in hospitals.
November 10th, 2009
6:58 pm
Linda, I wish you would think about what you are writing, what you are thinking.
"This bill approved by the House is to insure another 36 million people, divided by 50 states, is an average of another 720,000 people per state. There's only 760,000 drs in the US, already a shortage. Remember the laws of supply & demand in Econ 101? Delays caused by the quantity of insured will reduce the quality of health care."
Let's translate it to simple terms: We should not insure more people, allow them get health care, because it might reduce our quality, increase our waiting time. Why don't you just tell them "drop dead?"
As for people going to India and Thailand, you are dead wrong. Many people go there for essential surgeries. You are also dead wrong about health insurance not keep people from dying. You should go somewhere into the real world, where people cannot afford medicine, cannot afford treatment, and are dying because of that. Thousands of them every year, in this rich country. But what do you care?

Mark @ 4:53, there are many drs. who don't accept Medicare & the trend is drs who don't accept any insurance. I have a doctor who only accepts cash & requires her insured patients to file their own claims.
You asked why we want to deprive other people who want govt-run insurance. The vast majority (70%) of Americans are insured & like their coverage. Many of those uninsured can qualify for Medicare & haven't applied. Many can afford health insurance but don't want to pay for it, especially healthy young people. That only leaves about 15 million uninsured Americans. Why would you want to totally overhaul the entire system, running the risk that 70% of Americans will be deprived of their existing coverage, deprive employers the right to provide jobs rather than health care & deny the rights of those who don't want to buy insurance–for the remaining 15 million Americans?

Two FBI informants concocted and encouraged the conspiracy because they were being paid and promised legal immigration status, reports the New Jersey Star-Ledger.
BTW- In 2007 the average annual premium for non-group health insurance was about $2,600 for single-person coverage and $5,800 for family coverage, compared to $4,500 and $12,100 respectively, for job-based plans. I

Mark: Unrealistic? I think your view of either log cabin or socialist utopia is unrealistic. I want nothing more than the constitution. When did I say we should have zero government?
The assumption that we aught to just suck up and deal with tyranny "because that's how it is" is insane. The government is, per the definition adopted into law via the Declaration of Independence, an association of individuals, acting with –the consent– of the governed. I do not consent to federal authority dicatating every aspect of our lives. They may not take action in all areas at the moment, but certainly they claim they have the authority to.
I am in favor of limited government powers, especially at the federal level. The most power should be with you, then your town, then county, state and finally federal. At each level, must be what everybody (approx 90% if you want a specific figure) -consents- to. I'm speaking of the power, power to implement an army, power to coin money, etc. That is the design, and we've deviated from it, and are moving in the wrong direction.
The reason I think this original design was well thought out is that the more you can do to me, the more you have to look me in the eye before, during and after you do it.
If none among us are capable of governing ourselves, who among us is capable of governing others?? Are you suggesting that you know better for people than they do themselves, and hence, that some are better than others?
You submit that we that want to keep our freedom do not care? Why, because we're unwilling to sign a deal with the devil for scraps off the table? If you believe in government run redistribution of health, why won't you (/can't you) sell us on why we should support it, rather than attacking us because we won't put the shackles on ourselves.
If you have to "mandate" something – it's because people won't do it willingly. If you have to "grandfather" something, it proves you can't get grandfathers to agree to vote for it. If you have have government do something, it's because that something costs far more than anybody in their right mind would fund on their own without the equivalent of stealing money from people at gunpoint at their disposal to do it.
November 10th, 2009
7:37 pm
Linda, I see that there is no way to make you see. First: "Many can afford health insurance but don't want to pay for it, especially healthy young people." I have already written about that. Many of those people, when they get seriously sick or injured, are treated at our expense, at a much higher cost. I call it stealing from us, gambling with our money. There is no reason why 70%of Americans would be "deprived of their existing coverage" because of the proposed reform. That is preposterous, a scare tactic, paranoia. But the most horrible part of your thinking is the callousness. "Only about 15 million Americans." Enough said.
November 10th, 2009
7:45 pm
Mark: If we're already paying for it, isn't what you are suggesting/advocating then just moving around the line items on a budget?? This is why we laugh when the left says "you'll get something for nothing".. no, you might get it with others paying for it, but it must be paid for either way.
Beyond that sir, your tone conveys a devious idea – that you expect to compel people to "live more healty lifestyles".. well, I guess that's great for whoever decides what that means, but it is undeniably stealing freedom. If not, please explain how it isn't just moving bills and payors around?
November 10th, 2009
7:50 pm
Mark: I think Linda is saying – if it's only 15 million poor people, why aren't you suggesting increasing the threshold for impoverished entitlements? And why aren't you willing to consider proven solutions like tort reform and making people pay a % co-pay rather than a flat $ value so people will naturally shop around (assuming that you've endorsed that this will happen without coersion by your reference to people getting care in India because it's cheaper)?
November 10th, 2009
7:55 pm
Mark @ 6:58, you are still confusing health care with health insurance.
All people in American have health care.
People with & without health insurance drop dead every day.
There's no proof that people with health insurance live longer than those without it.
There's no proof that people with health insurance take better care of themselves than those without it.
Poor people have health insurance (Medicaid).
Older people have health insurance (Medicare).
Rich people have health insurance.
Most of the middle class have health insurance.
Most people who have jobs have health insurance.
Some people can afford but don't want to pay for health insurance.
The only people who don't have but want health insurance is a few of the middle class who are not poor or rich enough, not young or old enough & maybe not employed or healthy enough.
I see that you have read the self-help book for liberals. If you can't dispute the facts, attack the messenger.
I care very, very much about this country & where it's going & hope that you will continue searching for the truth.
November 10th, 2009
8:06 pm
Just to add to Linda's excellent comment (though Mark is a much better sport than most Liberals I've debated)
Health insurance is not insurance, by definition, it is communnal bill paying. Insurance, in it's true sense, is something to protect from rare catastrophe, such that the rarity of the benefit allows us to buy "peace of mind" at a lower cost. If you are happy about using insurance, it is not right to call it "insurance". I think catastrophic insurance is more fitting.
I would prefer that we have HSA's and tax benefits for most people (beyond the legitimately poor) for most health services and then catastrophic insurance for the rest. The problem is that people with expensive diseases want to lower their bills, legitimate or not, and somehow bankruptcy became a horrific thing that just can't be used, even though it was designed to rightly allow people to declare they are not credit worthy in exchange for forgiveness of debt and you keep your house…. hey, if I needed it, my credit score would definitely go before my little house.
November 10th, 2009
8:18 pm
Pat, Most employer-provided health insurance is not merely catastrophic. It's a $15 or so co-pay for the most routine office visits, tests & procedures. Most people have no idea what health insurance or health care costs.
HSA's are banned with the House bill.
November 10th, 2009

PatHenry: The tort reform might be a good idea, if anybody could find a fair way to do it. Just saying "tort reform" does not mean anything. In any case, it is a red herring – studies have shown that it would save at most about 1% of costs, and in places where tort reform has been instituted on a state level there was not decrease in medical costs at all.
November 10th, 2009
8:31 pm
Linda, you are singing the same tune, not realizing that it does not make any sense. The fact that people are dying with health insurance, and because of all the causes you enumerated before, does not have anything to do with the fact that people who cannot afford health insurance and medicines die because of that. In other words, they would not have died if they could afford a better care through a better insurance.. That is plenty of data about that, if you only looked. And even without that it is absolutely incredible to deny it.
I am sure you care about the country. I just see do not seem to care much about people.

PatHenry: You re making an artificial distinction between insurance and communal billing. I can have auto insurance that would pay for just about everything (no deductible), or only very major expenses (high deductible, a kind of catastrophic insurance), and anything in between. There is no artificial boundary, all of it can be called insurance. There is certainly a legitimate question about what level of insurance should there be if there were a government insurance program.

Linda: You are correct, that's my point and you're right again with why that's a problem. I got eye drops from a guy (who I never went to again) that said basically, you should use your insurance more often, you're lucky… etc. etc.. these eye drops 2 half ounce bottles, $130 if I didn't have insurance…. People need to not be so insulated from the real cost, then they'd shop around and like cosmetic surgery or cell phones, the price will drop…

Mark: I hope you read this tomorrow…
I agree, I usually say "tort reform, specifically, some way to eliminate frivilous/illegitimate suits. You can't artificially cap if that cap is less than a VALID settlement. You should absolutely get fair restitution. Perhaps a counter-suit for fraudulent suits, or a loser pays system or a stricter requirement for proof of loss, to stop the 100 Mil for coffee in your lap at McDonalds, and on the other end, perhaps a respect for disclaimer, where when one signs it, by doing so they accept that they have taken every possible step to understand what they're doing and only gross and easily discernable violations can undermine the disclaimer. I'm no expert in this area, so I'm sure that there are many good ideas that I'm unaware of.
I get what you are saying with insurance, but do you get what I'm saying? Car insurance doesn't pay for your oil changes, wiper blades and routine maintenance (though if you want to pay a high premium, someone could offer it) – so why do we have insurance commonly do the equivalent for health? "Normal" insurance should cover Appendicitis, injuries in bike accidents and heart attacks and the such, but not a physical, strep test, viagra & birth control. And if so, it should be cost-ratio, not flat fee. The super high premium insurance could cover more, like you suggest for car insurance. And why couldn't we try this, going back to the previous system if it proves to be worse… We shouldn't have gov't cherry picking industries, anti-trust should be a rule for all or none, not some. All products should be able to be sold in any state the company chooses. Your insurance would go up if you had Geico and Geico were forced to sell in MA.
When I got homeowner insurance, the company wouldn't cover my German Shepherds without a paradoxical process (you need a certificate before you keep the dog at the house, you can't get the certificate without training the dog first, catch22) so I went to another company. What if the government had the GSD policy and outlawed the other company? I just couldn't have my dogs? They wouldn't want to test me on that.

Most liberals or people arguing liberal positions get frustrated when their arguments don't hold up and just call you a racist or cafe-hole and fold up like a lawn chair. It's refreshing that you stay with it without deteriorating to the insane vulgarities and empty platitudes (I know we have those on our side too)…… I wanted to give you at least that credit as I feel it's due (though Linda likely disagrees…. )

Mark @ 8:31, regarding tort reform. As long as we have new mothers suing OBGYNs for stretch marks, we have a problem. Your estimate of 1% is much lower than my research. Sounds like statistics from MSNBC. Defensive medicine costs up to $178 B per yr & the additional cost of malpractice insurance is another $29.4 B. Numerous states have tort limits, including GA, & they have worked. There are plenty of ways to do it, such as in the Reps health insurance plan, but Dems will never reform tort because the lawyers lobby gives the vast majority of their funds to Dems. I understand that the House health care bill vetos all states' tort reform legislation. That doesn't sit right with me.
As long as we have new mothers suing their OBGYNs for stretch marks, we have a problem with tort reform. The studies you mentioned

Mark @ 8:31. I'm sorry you can't make sense of what I said. You said that people who cannot afford health insurance & medicine die because they can't afford health insurance & medicine.
The fact is that people who can afford & have health insurance & medicine also die.
Life expectancy is not related to having health insurance as much as it's related to life style.
I care a lot about people in this country. I want health insurance reformed so that more people have access to it. The House bill has nothing to do with health, care, insurance or reform. It will not save lives.

Ahh Linda, fantastically well said.
We can look at Liberal "successes" – Medicare – going broke, paying 80% of claims. Those doctors that like it, probably do because the insurance companies question them. That waste fraud and abuse, who is doing that? Oh yeah, doctors (among others)
VA care – dirty, run down and often hundreds of miles away. If it weren't for those of us privately giving (we have a Walter Reid charity box where I work, and I've given to SCWDA – benefiting military dog handlers – see Vietnam for gov't's idea of living creatures (they euthanized and abandoned 1000's of war dogs after declaring them "expendible equipment", deaf to the pleas of the handlers to adopt them at their own expense)) you'd never use this as a shining example of government management.
SS – Going broke, despite the thousands I've already put in, why do I keep hearing how I might never get any of my own money back???
Military – Constitutionally authorized, yet can't account for millions in dollars, can't get 2000 dollar fire surpression for 16000 Humvee gas tanks (2000 bucks, plus 2 hours labor times 16000, still less than AIG's bailout) and thousand dollar hammers???
War on Poverty – How many people have been lifted out of poverty?? Statistically, 0%.
"As long as we have the power to tax, we can always take away from the people whatever we need to bail them out of trouble." Said before 1964, and it's still true today.
I guess their intentions, that's all that matters…

A common comment appearing here is about letting the Supreme Court review the constitutionality afterwards. I want to know where in the Constitution it says that the Supreme Court is the supreme authority on the Constitution? I've read it a few times and it appears to me that all three branches should be watching for constitutionality. The Supreme Court only gets called in after the first two mess it up. If someone does answer, please don't bring up the "constitutional review precedent" set by Marshall. The Constitution also does not place precedence restrictions on the judiciary.

While he is correct that health care by the government is unconstitutional, before Mr. Barr starts criticizing others for being unconstitutional, the former congressman should get his own public record in order. Mr. Barr was one of three individuals mentioned in a Missouri investigation recently regarding militia groups opposed to obeying the Constitution. Mr. Barr has stated he opposes obeying Article V of the United States Constitution and holding, as required by that article, a convention to propose amendments, or an Article V Convention, when the states have applied for such a convention. The public record is clear. The Constitution mandates a convention call if 34 states submit 34 applications for a convention call. The public record shows all 50 states have submitted 750 applications for a convention call. The applications can be read at http://www.foavc.org.
That public record also shows that while Mr. Barr was a member of Congress, sufficient applications existed to cause a convention call. Where was Mr. Barr then? Obviously joining with his fellow members of Congress to disobey the Constitution. Mr. Barr is a constitutional hypocrite and he has no business criticizing others for doing exactly what he himself has done.
A convention will and can repair the damage done by Congress and the courts and the states have already submitted proposed amendments to do so. But so long as leaders such as Mr. Barr who really doesn't support the Constitution are listened to, the Constitution will continued to be ignored.

Barr is addressing the issues of judicial activism and Congress' constant overstepping of its "authority". "where in the Constitution…" is meant to question someone's claim of authority.

People still reeling over Jones' departure
Josie Pagani can't understand the left wing blogs celebrating
"With Shane gone, it feels like the message to people who think like Shane, or identified with Shane, none of those people have received a message saying you're still welcome in the Labour Party. I think that's the problem."
She said the anti-Jones brigade among Labour's activists erupted in celebration on social media without appearing to realise they were effectively sending a message to others that if they identified with Jones, they were not wanted in Labour.
"All you have to do is look at the parade of people popping champagne and saying 'good riddance' in the blogosphere. Are we really saying to people who look and think and sound like Shane that they may as well go and vote National because you're not welcome in Labour?"
David Parker says it's business as usual, but then admits they lost their own Winston Peters
The party's leadership has sought to restore a bit of calm and perspective. Deputy leader David Parker says just because Jones has gone, what he stood for had not. He said fighting against inequality and on behalf of workers had been part of Labour's ethos for almost 100 years. It had managed to express them before Jones and would manage to do so after Jones.
"Nobody is indispensable. If you're suggesting, as some have, that the only way Labour connects with middle New Zealand is through Shane Jones, that's just wrong. He's a good person and a more powerful orator in his use of language than anyone else in Parliament. But there is no one like Shane in National or anywhere. The closest would be Winston [Peters]."
In an attempt to convince themselves Jones isn't leaving a right of center void, Kris Faafoi  rushes in to take Jones' place, although hints at them feeling leaderless in the trenches  Read more »

Show synopsis Excerpt: ...together to present her to Frederick, King of Sicily, who was then a young man and delighted in such toys. Accordingly, coming to Palermo, they made gift of the damsel to the king, who, seeing her to be fair, held her 270 dear; but, for that he was presently somewhat infirm of his person, he commanded that, against he should be stronger, she should be lodged in a very goodly pavilion, belonging to a garden of his he called La Cuba, and there tended; and so it was done. Great was the outcry in Ischia for the ravishment of the damsel and what most chagrined them was that they could not learn who they were that had carried her off; but Gianni, whom the thing concerned more than any other, not looking to get any news of this in Ischia and learning in what direction the ravishers had gone, equipped another pinnace and embarking therein, as quickliest as he might, scoured all the coast from La Minerva to La Scalea in Calabria, enquiring everywhere for news of the girl. Being told at La Scalea that she had been carried off to Palermo by some Sicilian sailors, he betook himself thither, as quickliest he might, and there, after much search, finding that she had been presented to the king and was by him kept under ward at La Cuba, he was sore chagrined and lost well nigh all hope, not only of ever having her again, but even of seeing her. Nevertheless, detained by love, having sent away his pinnace and seeing that he was known of none there, he abode behind and passing often by La Cuba, he chanced one day to catch sight of her at a window and she saw him, to the great contentment of them both. Gianni, seeing the place lonely, approached as most he might and bespeaking her, was instructed by her how he must do, an he would thereafterward have further speech of her. He then took leave of her, having first particularly examined the ordinance of the place in every part, and waited till a good part of the night was past, when he returned thither and clambering up...

Sunday, March 25, 1973: Inside Wounded KneePosted on October 15th, 2007 – 12:33 AM
By Ben Welter
This 1,100-word analysis of the Wounded Knee takeover appeared on the front page of the Minneapolis Tribune about midway through the 71-day standoff. It was written by reporter Jim Parsons, who had been filing daily reports from the South Dakota hamlet almost from the start.
AIM Indians with 'story to tell'
made Wounded Knee the medium
By James Parsons
Staff Writer
Wounded Knee, S.D.
It was an instantaneous, knee-jerk reaction to a problem.
"Get the press in here! Get the press in here!" yelled Dennis Banks when he learned that federal officers were sealing off the roads into Wounded Knee.
"Get ahold of De Sersa," Banks said. "Tell him to get Jeff Williams in here."
Within hours, Williams and his television crew from CBS News were in Wounded Knee, guided past the government roadblocks by Aaron De Sersa, an Indian who lives in nearby Pine Ridge.
|March 1973: Russell Means, left, and Dennis Banks at Wounded Knee, S.D. (Minneapolis Tribune photo by Mike Zerby)
Soon, scores of other reporters and photographers from all over the country plus Japan, Canada, Sweden, France and Russia were hiking through the hills or, once the government's restrictions were eased, driving into Wounded Knee.
Banks and the other leaders of the occupation were delighted to see the press.
The newsmen were insurance of a sort, because any move by the federal forces against the Indian activists would be filmed in living color.
More importantly, Banks maintained that the Indians holding the small community had "a story to tell" and needed the news media to spread the message.
Banks and the other outspoken leader of the takeover, Russell Means, didn't waste any time in telling their story. All it took to start a press conference was for someone to ask a question and sometimes even that wasn't necessary.
They flayed white society for exploiting Indians and their lands, for breaking treaties, for generations of racial discrimination. And they said repeatedly and loudly that Wounded Knee was a "good place to die," a paraphrase of a quote borrowed from an ancestor, Chief Crazy Horse.
The occupation has been colorful, at times comic, and usually photogenic. Several "braves" went out on horseback to round up some cattle for food. Only Russell Means knew how to handle a horse under such conditions, however, and the others had to get off and energetically wave their arms at the bewildered cows.
And once the cattle were in camp, no one knew how to butcher them so one of the television technicians had to take over.
War paint was administered liberally in a solemn ceremony the evening that the federal troops were "expected" to attack. Fifteen minutes later, Banks and two others were merrily bashing golf balls with a set of clubs found in a home that had just been vacated by the residents.
Means, who frequently rails at the bureaucracy of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, moaned loudly about the lack of secretaries to keep records and type rules and regulations promulgated after a "sovereign" Indian nation was formed at Wounded Knee. (The speed limit in the "downtown" area is 5 miles an hour and horse-drawn conveyances have the right-of-way.)
Leonard Crow Dog, a medicine man from the neighboring Rosebud Reservation, conducted religious ceremonies over the skull of a steer. Clyde Bellecourt, one of the occupation leaders, said that Crow Dog is a traditional Sioux medicine man who is bringing the Indians at Wounded Knee back to the original tribal customs and ways.
Bellecourt didn't mention that in the past Crow Dog and his father have staged religious ceremonies, using the drug peyote, for non-Indians willing to make a monetary contribution.
Many of those opposed to the occupation by the American Indian Movement (AIM) claim that the entire episode at Wounded Knee is being "staged" for the press.
They're right. At least, they're right if Dennis Banks is to be believed. AIM has a "story to tell" and it consistently has used confrontations with various governmental authorities as a sounding board.
Without news coverage, the confrontations would be a waste of time. The same can be said for presidential press conferences or statements made by the President or other administration officials on the Vietnam War or other national issues.
Wyman Babby, an Indian who is area director of the BIA in Pine Ridge, maintains that a presidential press conference is different from the takeover because the occupation is an illegal act.
The Boston Tea Party also was an illegal act but history books don't ignore it. Some of the leaders of the American Revolution argued that acts of disloyalty to the king of England were justified under the circumstances.
The AIM leaders make the same argument. At the same time, one of the leaders acknowledged that much of what AIM has done publicly in recent months has been an "ego trip" for the leaders and done little or nothing to solve problems facing Indians.
At Wounded Knee, the news media's initial focus was on the takeover and the resulting damage and on the generally colorful scene, including the rhetoric. But reporters and photographers were free in Wounded Knee to see what was happening. They could interview the Indians and the residents, including some who wanted AIM to go away.
In Pine Ridge, where the federal officials and the tribal leaders stayed, four public-relations men flew in from Washington to handle the press. They, like the Indians, hold press conferences but often the top officials on hand do not appear or do not answer questions after reading their statements to the press.
Dick Wilson, the president of the Pine Ridge Reservation, is capable of matching the AIM leaders in rhetoric on a moment's notice. But he was kept quiet by federal officers, a fact he later complained about publicly.
The press also had complaints about information given by the government. Sometimes it was inaccurate, sometimes misleading.
For instance, the government denied that federal agents had exchanged gunfire with the Indians one night only to have reporters in Wounded Knee point out that tracers fired from the government's positions had zipped over the town.
On another occasion, it was reported that food supplies were being allowed through the blockade. But the minister responsible for delivering the food later reported that he "hassled" with the government's negotiators for five hours before resorting to other contacts to get in a "trunkful" of food.
Such inconsistencies wouldn't have happened, Babby argued, if AIM hadn't moved in at Wounded Knee. He also maintained that the Indian activists will leave if, and when, the press leaves.
That may be true although Wounded Knee might become a "Woodstock west," a Mecca for those in the peace and civil-rights movements.
Even if Babby is right, the problems facing Indians on the Pine Ridge and other reservations won't go away. That reality won't change whether or not the leaders of AIM are demagogues out for personal publicity.

This time I'm pulling something rather more personal out of my arsenal of tools which is my own individual way of dealing with the infuriating issue of
I want to draw... but I don't know what.
EH = Ernest Hemmingway
My own personal way of dealing with it, makes use of the opposite problem.
I have loads of ideas! But I have to go to bed/have no time/paper/drawing equipment.
I like to think of it as my Henry Jones Senior book that perhaps one day will lead to my own personal Holy Grail
Stickman Indiana Jones saving my Journal from the bad guys.
Doll by Marina-B
If you want to start your own journal, just get a book and start putting things in it. Do whatever comes naturally to you. If you want to write it in prose, do prose. If you want to stick a bunch of pictures from the internet or a magazine in there, do that! If you want to write long lists like I do, do that. Dream places to go visit, or maybe places you're going to soon and want to remember what you wanted to see when you got there.
The book you use doesn't have to be as fancy as mine, I personally like using a fancy book so it's very pretty and decorative sat on my desk, but you could use a plain book, or one you go out shopping especially for, whatever suits your tastes. (Or if you're like me and your friends and family always buy you tonnes of empty books for your birthday because you're an artist then you'll have plenty to choose from!)
I hope this article has encouraged you to perhaps start a journal, or if you already keep one I'd love to know how that works for you.
The journal isn't for everyone, but it certainly works for me.
Thanks for reading. Enjoy the rest of the Artist's Toolbox week coming up at :devprojecreducate:

The American Civil Liberties Union and several same-sex couples are filing an amended complaint, challenging Montana statutes on gay rights.
The Montana Supreme Court rejected the first lawsuit last December, saying it was too broad and didn't identify specific laws, which are discriminatory. In the newly filed complaint, one of the statutes being contested is the right to name a partner as a beneficiary for worker's compensation.
"The way that the laws are written and the way that certain statutes are, they're denied certain rights to things that a couple should have. It's important that we recognize human dignity and equal protection which is what the case is based on," said Liz Welch, LGBT Advocacy Coordinator of Montana's ACLU.
However, Jeff Lazloffy of the Montana Family Foundation said the case is for another reason.
"The bottom line is marriage is the goal. And they will say in their comments that they're not shooting for marriage yet. This is the California model. Go for the benefits first and then go for marriage afterwards. We're seeing it was successful in California and they're trying to play the same model out in Montana."
Montana currently has a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

Friday, August 10, 2012 - Munson Healthcare Benefit Report Available Online
Munson Healthcare Community Benefit Report Online
Munson Healthcare's Community Benefit report for the year 2011 is now available on its website and will be inserted into several northern Michigan newspapers.
"This report provides some examples of the very personal ways the hospitals and other businesses associated with Munson Healthcare are helping ensure the region's health," said Ed Ness, President and CEO of Munson Healthcare and Munson Medical Center. "Last year the Munson Healthcare system provided $65 million in health care programs and education, as well as free, discounted, and unreimbursed services."
As non-profit organizations, Munson Healthcare facilities and hospitals provide vital community resources 24 hours a day throughout each year.
"Community benefit is defined as programs or activities that provide treatment or promote health and healing in response to an identified community need," said Diane Butler, RN, manager of Community Health at Munson Healthcare. "Munson has a strong commitment to give back to the communities we serve."
All dollars from operating revenue are reinvested back into the appropriate organization to improve health care services and facilities for representative communities. Community Benefit programs must meet at least one of the following criteria:
• Improve access to health care service
• Enhance the health of the community
• Advance medical or health care knowledge
• Relieve, or reduce the burden of government, or other community efforts
In 2011, Munson Healthcare provided $44.9 million in community benefits, and $20.1 million in other significant financial contributions. These other contributions included the unpaid cost of bad debt, the unpaid cost of Medicare – the difference between the cost of services delivered and government payment – and community building activities.
As health care in the nation undergoes transformation, hospitals are being asked to help keep people out of their facilities and prevent illness from occurring. Readers of the report will learn how that is happening in northern Michigan through the work of Munson Healthcare facilities. Stories include:
• A look at how one family is benefiting from a telemedicine program for northern Michigan residents with blood disorders.
• A portrait of Kalkaska Memorial Health Center's second Teen Health Corner in a renovated portable classroom next to Forest Area Schools' high school. Principal Suzanne Cybulla said the facility meets real needs of her students. "I'm thrilled … I can't say enough about how this asset has quickly integrated into our culture. We can't have too many safety nets for these students."
• An inside peek at how Cadillac Mercy Hospital's Community Outreach Practitioner Theresa Evans is helping serve uninsured and underinsured patients who arrive at the hospital with substance abuse and/or mental health problems.
• Information on how a Mercy Hospital Grayling alumni program allows former patients to continue to use the hospital's exercise equipment as often as they like – for just $10 a month.
• A glimpse into how Munson Home Health nurses are providing free health checks that include monitoring blood pressure, weight, oxygen saturation, and pulse rates at independent and assisted living facilities.
• One woman's testimony of how the Munson Healthcare Regional Foundation Mammography Assistance Fund, which pays for mammograms for uninsured and underinsured women, saves lives.
• How a set of twins born at Munson Medical Center benefit from specialty clinics provided to children across the region.
• What Otsego Memorial Hospital is doing to educate the public on health issues.
• How a North Flight paramedic serves as a volunteer on the Northern Michigan Mutual Aid Force.
• A glimpse at how a 4-year-old at Lake Ann Elementary came to know about the Great Wall of China, thanks to assistance from a Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital child development coordinator.
• A look at how West Shore Medical Center's lactation educator and specialist helps promote breastfeeding for the health of babies across the region.
"Here in northern Michigan we are fulfilling our mission to work together as a region to provide superior quality care and promote community health," Ness said.

Neal Bascomb
Adult Nonfiction DK264 .B37 2007
Summary: The true story of the deadliest naval mutiny in history In 1905, after being served rancid meat, more than seven hundred Russian sailors mutinied against their officers aboard what was then one of the most powerful battleships in the world. Theirs was a life barely worth living -- a life of hard labor and bitter oppression, an existence, in its hopelessness and injustice, not unlike that of most of the working class in Russia at the time. Certainly their rebellion came as no surprise. Still, against any reasonable odds of success, the sailors-turned-revolutionaries, led by the charismatic firebrand Matyushenko, risked their lives to take control of the ship and fly the red flag of revolution. What followed was a violent port-to-port chase that spanned eleven harrowing days and came to symbolize the Russian revolution itself. A pulse-quickening story that alternates between the opulent court of Nicholas II and the razor's-edge tension aboard the Potemkin, Red Mutiny is a tale threaded with terrific adventure, epic naval battles, heroic sacrifices, treachery, bloodlust, and a rallying cry of freedom that would steer the course of the twentieth century. It is also a fine work of scholarship that draws for the first time on the Soviet archives to shed new light on this seminal event in Russian and naval history. For readers of Tom Clancy's Hunt for Red October and Nathaniel Philbrick's In the Heart of the Sea, Neal Bascomb's gripping adventure at sea is the story of courage, the power of ideas, and the fragile nature of alliance.

Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me.

Song of the Day: Closer to My Dreams by Drake.
This is the Drake that I miss. He used to spit that real, now he spits that bitchness.
Anyway, I'll never get tired of this joint. I feel that it's an appropriate choice as I'm starting to get closer to my dreams (pun intended). I hope you all are doing the same and much luck with getting there. ;)
I've been on KRIT heavy lately, I know. What can I say, I'm a fan of good music. I was happy to come across this article on HipHopDX.com because it added to why I heavily fucks with this King Remembered In Time. KRIT's humbleness is something you rarely find in MC's who are starting to get their shine. While niggas are rockin "2 Chainz" Krit's keeping it simple with a hard ass Good Wood chain. Not too flashy, not too fly. It's just enough. That's that country shit.
I had the honor of meeting KRIT after a concert he had at Tallahassee Community College. The concert was dope, to say the least. From the way KRIT had the house rockin' you forgot you were in a gymnasium with a crowd of maybe 50 people. KRIT went in like he had a stadium full and even blessed the crowd with his presence (I touched his head!). I appreciate that Big KRIT appreciates his fans. You can be the dopest artist out but if you have a shitty 'tude then you ain't shit in my book.
I hope KRIT keeps doing what he's doing and doesn't sell out. I couldn't imagine it.
p.s. 4EvaNaDay is CRACK!!! That's 5 Star work right thurr… If you still don't have it please download it. It's FREE excellence! Can't beat that with a stick.
If you haven't heard the story of Trayvon Martin you must be living under a rock. This 17-year-old black brother was shot to death by George Zimmerman while walking around his gated community. Zimmerman claims that he shot the young man in "self defense" and has yet to be prosecuted.
Help get justice for Trayvon by signing the Change.org petition.
There is a great deal of work to do and it calls for sacrifice and determination on the part of those who are leading, and if men believe that money should be the only consideration for leadership, then there can be no successful achievement.

I wonder if they will add this to our history books. Doubt it. I'll stay hopeful though.

So, after a week of waiting (an extreme week, might I add #SB12 woot, woot!) I have FINALLY been able to download Big Krit's new mixtape, 4evaNaDay. I'm not even surprised at what I have heard so far. Krit delivered, as usual.
I haven't listened to the whole thing as of yet, but when I do I'll be sure to share my opinion…cause ya know, my opinion's the only one that matters. *sarcasm*
Get on it if you haven't yet.

A flood of Apple rumors hit Wednesday on the back of a report from an analyst known for relatively accurate predictions of future Apple products.
KGI Securities offers a tip sheet on iPads, iMacs, and MacBooks coming in 2014.
Expect to see plenty of iPad 5s in the fourth quarter but not many second-generation iPad Minis, an analyst predicts.
Sales of the two new iPhones during launch weekend were split around 50-50, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Mingchi Kuo of KGI Securities expects a slimmer MacBook Pro with longer battery life based on Intel's new Haswell processors.
KGI Securities released another note that spells out features of the upcoming iPhone 5S and a low-cost iPhone 5.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo now predicts Apple shipped just 11.4 million 5C units last quarter, down 33 percent from his prior forecast, says Business Insider.
Don't expect to see Apple's iWatch until the second half of next year, says KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
We may see both the iPhone 5S and a lower-cost iPhone 5 variant in June or July, says KGI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo.
Apple's next iPhone and next version of iOS could see the light of day as soon as early September, says a KGI analyst.

According to Jewish tradition, on Purim each adult must give a minimum of two different foods to at least one person, and two charitable donations to the needy. The food parcels are called mishloach manot or "sending portions", in some communities the tradition is a major to-do among friends, colleagues and relatives.
Want to make your mishloach manot stand out this Purim? Follow these easy steps!
Customize and personalize
Start with foods you would buy yourself and tweak them according to the recipient. If you love a certain granola or chocolate bar that you think your family and friends may enjoy, throw it in. Know your friend recently switched from Splenda to Stevia? Include a box her gift basket. Personal touches leave a lasting impression and show that you put extra thought and care into the gift.
Some great universally appreciated options that I like to include are:
Wrap it with style
Presentation makes a big impact. With food and gifts the saying "it's what's on the inside that counts" does not apply, in both cases appearance matters! Put extra care into the gift wrap and it will show that it was given with love.
You'll need:
* If you are using a basket you may need to criss cross the cellophane in order to cover the sides.
Hosting a Hanukkah party this year? See below for some party essentials and gift ideas.
Give your guests a sweet treat with these sacks of gelt. They add a little pizzaz to each place setting and they are a nice little after dinner treat!
Available at ohnuts.com
Paper Plates
I'm usually not a fan of paper or plastic when it comes to dinnerware. There's nothing worse than cutting into chicken with plastic cutlery and it's not so eco friendly. Because Hanukkah is only once a year and the meals are usually dairy I make an exception. Plus it is such a fun holiday you won't want to be in the kitchen doing dishes, you will want to partake in all of the festivities.
Available at partyamerica.com
…Which brings me to… you guessed it! Dreidel
What would a Hanukkah party be without a little dreidel? These fun colors will surely put your guests in a festive mood and the kids can play while adults chat and enjoy the meal!
Available at ohnuts.com
Hanukah is a time of year where gifts are given. In leu of a gift for one of the nights let your child pick a charity that you will make a donation to. If you are giving a gift to a friend or relative you can always buy a gift card to Charity Choice, which houses over 250 charities and the recipient can choose the charity. Seven gifts instead of eight is still a pretty sweet deal!

CNN — (CNN) -- There were five key problems in the case against George Zimmerman, leading to his acquittal Saturday in last year's shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin:
Appropriate charge?
Did the prosecution make a mistake in filing a second-degree murder charge against Zimmerman?
No, Florida State Attorney Angela Corey told reporters after jurors found him not guilty in the killing.
The allegations, she said, "fit the bill" for the charge.
Second-degree murder is defined as a killing carried out with hatred, ill will or spite, but is not premeditated.
There were repeated questions on whether the charge was appropriate because knowing a person's feeling during a killing is difficult to prove.
As a result, the prosecution had to rely on the evidence to tell the story of what happened and what led to the shooting, according to HLN's Ryan Smith.
Without an abundance of evidence, proving the case was difficult for both sides.
Evidence problems
Zimmerman's account of what happened the night of the shooting was a central part of the trial. He was the only living person who witnessed the entire incident, and there wasn't much physical evidence for either team to fall back on.
Various adverse conditions played into the initial investigation that night: A dark, rainy scene isn't ideal for a homicide investigation, says HLN law enforcement analyst Mike Brooks.
Much was made during the trial about why there was so little blood on Martin and Zimmerman, who said he fired in self defense because he was being beaten and feared for his life.
Dr. Vincent Di Maio, a former medical examiner in San Antonio and expert on gunshot wounds, testified that the rain could have washed away and affected evidence collected from Martin's hands.
There was so little evidence available that the defense put together an animated video to re-enact the events of that night based on witness statements, police reports and Zimmerman's account, they said.
The judge ruled against the use of the video.
Reluctant witness
Considered a key prosecution witness because she was on the phone with Martin moments before he was shot, Rachel Jeantel initially resisted coming forward.
"She did not want to get involved in this in no way possible," Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump told reporters Saturday.
"... It's pretty well documented."
During two days of testimony that was at times tense and combative, Jeantel described her conversation with Martin.
When defense attorney Don West challenged her story, suggesting Martin attacked Zimmerman, she responded: "That's retarded."
Jeantel testified that Martin told her he was being chased by a "creepy-a** cracker."
Whose voice?
The mothers of Zimmerman and Martin both testified that screams for help heard on a 911 call the night of the shooting were those of their sons, respectively.
Whose voice was heard on the call was considered key for both the prosecution and defense in proving who was responsible for the shooting. If the screams were Martin's, as the prosecution contended, Zimmerman was the aggressor. If the screams were Zimmerman's, as the defense said, Martin was the aggressor.
On July 5, in a packed courtroom, the prosecution played the recording for Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton.
When asked if she recognized the voice, Fulton said it belonged to "Trayvon Benjamin Martin."
Hours later, the defense called Gladys Zimmerman to the stand, where she testified the voice screaming for help belonged to her son.
"I know because he's my son," she said.
As a result, there was no definitive answer for jurors.
Police testimony
The lead detective in the case, Chris Serino, appeared to hurt the prosecution more than help it with his testimony.
Serino told the court that he believed Zimmerman exaggerated the number of times he was hit that night but didn't feel any "active deception."
"Either he was telling the truth or he was a complete pathological liar," he testified.

I like the idea, but it needs more effort. Having to login everyday is irritating. New questions do not come everyday as expected. My biggest frustration is the fact that the questions are not fair. You ask if X causes Y, and the description of the answer

Only one question a day? This isn't worth the space.
(58 stars)
Because knowledge develop for use full.
