So my senators both voted -- for the 37th time -- to repeal Obamacare. This works out to something like 1.486 to 1.9 million dollars EACH time the GOP has hauled this up for a vote.

Not impressed with how they're spending my money. You know about my views on healthcare in America, so not going there again.

But Texans -- if you would like to call and mention these figures? Go for it.

Ted Cruz -- (202)224-5922

John Cornyn -- (202)224-2934

Here's a great article from The Atlantic's web site, "The Quiet Health-Care Revolution," that is a must-read. It shows how the California group CareMore became a small powerhouse in excellent managed care for elderly patients -- with astounding reductions in costs. All this because of the integrated, early-intervention model pioneered by Dr. Sheldon Zinberg, the man who dove into a problem instead of retiring to avoid it.

Thanks to the magic of Tiny URL, here's an article about the mistakes that Massachusetts has made with their statewide healthcare -- and the major difference in Maryland that has not only kept hospital costs from spiraling out of sight, but has allowed a slight profit every year! This is opposite most places where hospital profit has boom and bust years, and most hospitals are losing their shirts on uninsured patients.
