[SharonAnn]

10. Sen Tom Coburn, MD speaking about Medicare/Medicaid fraud

but didn't seem to notice that much of it was done by DOCTORS! What is his profession going to do about this?

He talked about all these doctors and organizations (Schering-Plough, etc.) who have paid fines for defrauding Medicare and Medicaid. Why didn't he mention Dr. Frist's family business, HCA, which was fined more than $1.2 BILLION for defrauding Medicare and Medicaid? That was when Frist's brother was president of HCA and his father was chairman of the board.

Why didn't he mention the Frist's fraud?

[Sydnie]

11. When they stop the $300 toilet seats and the $900 hammers they can

talk about fiscal disipline. Geesh! How much money has Haliburton lost in Iraq? Find that money and put it back in the general funds and leave school lunches and seniors alone!
