Sen. Klobuchar For Public Option, Insists On Medicare Reform

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:43:03 GMT

Senator Klobuchar: "We'll I've always been positive about a public option or a competitive option or some type as the President talked about today. I've always just said it has to be hand and hand with cost reform. And I felt at the beginning of the summer that this wasn't put up front and center like it should be. And we're starting to see that change now. Next week a number of us are going to take to the floor about how we have to do Medicare reform. My view is this, if you were going to tie a public option to Medicare rates either explicitly or implicitly, you have to reform Medicare at the same time. And I think that is a prudent and long-term way of looking at this. We just can't pretend it's not happening, that Medicare is going to go in the red by 2017 or that premiums are going to double in ten years. So both public option and that Medicare reform can work together to get better health care for people. " "How are we ever going to bring the cost savings the President wants to do in Medicare if we continue to reward certain state systems that are just adding more and more tests as the President pointed out instead of emailing each other the results. Or that are not organized with a primary care provider and a number of specialists. There's one great example of an HMO down in the southwestern part of the country that actually has instead of having doctors see reams of patients, they had nurses see them and then have two endrochnologists, these are diabetes patients, oversee it. Nurses actually see them more often than doctors did. Results go up to the endrochnologist. They adjust what the results are. They saved a lot of money and they got much higher quality and the patients were happier. They get punished under the existing reimbursement system. That is just wrong and that's what I'm talking about here. Mike McIntee " If something like that was reformed, if that got put in as part of this bill and the

"Perry Mason"-Influencer Of Judges And Senators

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:54:04 GMT

It apparently wasn't just a TV show, "Perry Mason" was a call for people to become Supreme Court Justices and Senators. During Sonia Sotomayor's Supreme Court nomination hearing she told Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) that "Perry Mason" influenced her greatly. Later in the hearing, Senator Al Franken (D-MN) says he was a big "Perry Mason" fan too... and asks if Sotomayor can remember the one case Perry Mason lost. Neither Franken or Sotomayor could remember the case. But our intrepid researchers tell us Perry mason lost "The Case of the Deadly Verdict." 10/17/1963. But it wasn't his fault. His client withheld evidence needed to win.

Laughter & Tears As Franken Enters Senate

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:53:00 GMT

By Noah Kunin, Senior Political Correspondent 7/7/09 Washington, DC - Shortly after Al Franken was sworn in as the junior Senator from Minnesota he attended a reception in his honor in the Hart Senate Offices Building a few blocks north of the United States Capitol. A full house of over four hundred supporters campaign workers and family friends (including two members of the Grateful Dead) related their backing of Franken over the years. Franken joked that it would take forever to thank everyone that helped him, not including those who "were just along for the ride". At other times Franken was filled with emotion but not overcome by it, forcing back tears at several points while referencing his family or the late Senator Paul Wellstone.
