OT - The end is near...
As some of you know, I work for a group of heart surgeons... well, they've
dropped the axe on us and told us this morning that some of the fat must be trimmed... They took away from us - Medical Reimbursements - Christmas Bonuses - 2 offices are closing, 4 ppl out of 25 are getting released(the most pc way of saying, "Your Fired!" We have 3 offices in town, and plan is to consolidate 2 into 1 and close the 3rd. Relocate the main office to a more thriving area of town... Without further ado, I might bid you farewell from this property and maybe find anew somewhere else.... if I'm lucky. -- | RedForeman ©® fabricator and creator of the ratbike streetfighter!!! | ========================== | 2003 TRX450ES | 1992 TRX-350 XX (For Sale) | '98 Tacoma Ext Cab 4X4 Lifted.... | ========================== | ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤° `°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø | ((((º`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.

Well Red,
I hope you are not one of those "let go" In the mean time I wonder if you will be looking for work someplace else? I wish we had seen the light a few years ago when our benefits were cut, instead of plugging on only to come back from vacation to find that the company was "no more" You keep us posted on this.

That would be a shame as you probably are one of the most valuable contributors in here... |

However, we are all responsible for the downsizing, not just the doctors. We want to pay less for everything. Over my lifetime medical care has become much more sophisticated. Bypass surgery has become common place. We want the treatment, but we can't afford the treatment. We sue doctors over any error. Lucky car mechanics don't get sued. We want all of the miracle drugs, but want the government to force pharmaceutical firms to sell without covering their costs and making profits. We go to Wal Mart and buy Chinese goods for the low price, then compalin about "out sourcing." We all contribute to what we don't like buy our own actions. I cannot whine about what companies do, unless there is Enron type fraud while I continue to search for lowest prices and continue to vote for representatives in government to keep control of prices that often reflect more sophisticated products. We want less emmissions from our cars, but lower prices for the same car. My local board of education prides itself on keeping the tax rate down, while the community complains about not having the latest computer technology or a new bus for the sports teams to run about Texas. Good luck Red. If you are one to be let go, have hope that the change may well be to a better job. I was fired many times in my life and usually ended up better off. Perhaps Bush is onto something important when he speaks of portability of benefits as a desirable goal. dick |

Someone is making money somewhere, and it is not only from lawsuits.
My elderly mother had heartbypass and the total figure, including all recuperative care outside of the hospital, came to well over $500,000. The surgery per se was about 30% of that. Medicare paid its part and we had secondary insurance. Now you know where your taxes go. |

No, but since it was so close, and there *was* a question of the accuracy of the pop vote, anyone who wanted Gore to win has a branch to cling to, and tenacious they are. g --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

doesn't matter. Like you mentioned, he won in the Electoral college; that is ALL that matters... it keeps a bunch of a-holes in NY and CA from picking the president.

Without pointing any fingers or being political I would recommend to
everyone to read the Constitution of the United States. Also read the writings of Jefferson and Franklin on this subject. They saw democracy as the death of a country so created our Constitutional Republic. The public vote (or mob rule) was never intended to elect our Federal leaders. This way large population centers can not dictate what the rest of the people, who they can't identify with, what to do. The only change I would suggest would be "One state, One vote" and that would take an act of congress and an amendment to the Constitution. Popular votes are(were) delegated to local politics where the people live and work and are(were) intended as such. The Constitution is very specific on this point.
