Boustany at it AGAIN

The Daily Advertiser is reporting today... well actually it looks more like a COPY AND PASTE from an Offical Boustany Press Release that...

Boustany introduces health savings accounts bill

This is like putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound. HSA's are only good for RICH people who can afford to invest and shuttle money into different accounts to reap the benefits - how about the tens of thousands of working poor in this congressional district that are without healthcare insurance adequate to take care of a real emergency or provide for meaningful preventative treatments and exams? When is the good Doctor going to address this issue?

If we had an extra $200 a month to sock into a "RAINY DAY SICK FUND" we likely would... however this plan will only help those fortunate enough to have the money to invest in themselves it will do nothing for the seniors who are still being forced to decide between food in their refrigerators or medicine to keep them healthy and alive. When will THEY be given the respect THEY deserve by legislation supported by this congressman?

It is time for a complete MODERNIZATION of our healthcare system in this country.

"Bobby" Jindal gets his butt handed to him on the floor of the House

"Bobby" Jindal gets his rear end handed to him by Congressman Barney Frank. Barney completely shows Jindal that he doesn't even KNOW the existing law. Jindal files a bill that is ALREADY LAW - So he is making a DOUBLE LAW.

And not only that, but he is clearly doing this to pander.

The best part is - Frank yields to Jindal to try to explain him self several times... finally he asks again and Frank says 'No I will not yield', "I tried 5 times." In this same exchange Frank says "I do have my own doubts for this administrations predilection for following the law."

He also states very clearly that this bill would only affect those in New Orleans who's homes have been washed away. Why would they not want to have the same rules for Mississippi? Why special rules just for New Orleans?

At the end the "acting speaker" states - "The Gentleman's time has expired" to which Frank responds - "Thank you Mr. Speaker, because so has my patience."

Amen, Brother Frank! PREACH!
