1. A good friend just got back from Southeast Asia.<br />

While there, she met several Americans who travelled<br />

there as "dental tourists." One was there to get some<br />

work done that would cost her $10,000 out of pocket<br />

here in the States, at about 1/10th of the price.<br />

2. A self-employed acquaintance here went in for a<br />

nuclear stress test. He and his wife budgeted $5,000<br />

for this, as that is their deductible for the year.<br />

So clearly something needed to be done, the question<br />

is — was this it?<br />

While I think the law is a gargantuan mess in some<br />

ways, it seems that our health care system is even<br />

more so. I further believe that we are all in this<br />

together, that we are one <strong>na</strong>tion, not just a bunch of<br />

individuals, and insofar as health care goes, your<br />

decision not to buy it directly effects how much I will<br />

pay when I do buy it.<br />

So, especially given the fact that Romneycare in<br />

Massachussets has seemd to both cover more people<br />

and lower costs, and while I hold my nose, I am glad<br />

CLIPPING INTERNACIONAL (Supreme Court)<br />

that Congress tried to tackle one of the most significant<br />

issues small businesses face — health care costs and<br />

deliverability.<br />

I hope the law is upheld.<br />

Today's tip: Want to promote constitutio<strong>na</strong>l values in<br />

our society? Here is one way: My brilliant daughter is<br />

part of an incredible program that reaches 6 million<br />

high school students every year, called We the People:<br />

The Citizens and the Constitution. The program just<br />

lost all of its federal funding.<br />

This vital program is a <strong>na</strong>tio<strong>na</strong>l competition wherein<br />

student are given constitutio<strong>na</strong>l issues to a<strong>na</strong>lyze and<br />

then spend upwards of a year studying the<br />

constitution, case law and history. They then compete<br />

against one another in front of judges, lawyers, and<br />

civic leaders. The program is continuing on through<br />

private do<strong>na</strong>tions. If you want to help, go to<br />

<strong>na</strong>tio<strong>na</strong>l fi<strong>na</strong>ls are coming up this month, let me just<br />

say, go Lincoln!)<br />
