This quarter we went with the puppy option. Here is the Washington press corp looking rather silly trying to take pictures of "Bo" the new White House dog.

Myth:Health Care Reform Will Limit Your Choices

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:36:16 +0000

Linda Douglass of the White House Office of Health Reform answers a question from outside the recent town hall in New Hampshire on whether any government involvement in health care will end up limiting choices for consumers. This is a myth: even the addition of a public option will be just that â another option âand will not eliminate any choices to the consumer.

Not so in Eden Prairie where people stood out in the cold and held a vigil outside Congressman Erik Paulsen's office (R-MN). Paulsen is opposed to a public option. The people standing out in the cold support it because they are concerned about health care for their children and grandchildren.

"We as Americans should be hanging our heads in shame that we don't take care of these people" said one senior who said she was lucky enough to have enough money to pay $24,000 out of her own pocket for medical crisis.
"That our government allows people to be sick, even die and they won't do anything about it. It's a time to take action and it's a time to take responsibility.
