I want to strongly commend Rep. Bill Foster for casting a courageous vote in favor of health care reform. After all, he took Denny Hastert's place in a traditionally Republican district, and he may pay a price from some Republicans and independents in 2010 for this kind of vote.

This administration is clearly ignoring the wishes of the majority of the people! They were elected to represent our wishes, not promote their own agenda! It's time to listen up, or you will find yourselves out of a job in the coming elections!

Today I took my son to the doctor for his regular checkup. We'd recently changed from a bloated, expensive insurance policy to something more in line with what insurance is supposed to be ... for finance-crushing emergencies.
