Hard-Boiled Poker: 2007 WSOP, Day 47: Part Two — Looking Ahead to the 2007 WSOP ME Final Table
Array-ne Health Care Lie: ‘47 Million Uninsured Americans’Michael Moore, politicians and the media use inflated numbers of those without health insurance to promote universal coverage. Seymour Business & Media Institute7/18/2007 4:01:33 PM Fact Sheet about Michael Moore Michael Moore was wrong about health insurance. But there are millions of people who should be excluded from that tally, including: those who aren’t American citizens, people who can afford their own insurance, and people who already qualify for government coverage but haven’t signed up. Government statistics also show 45 percent of those without insurance will have insurance again within four months after job transitions. that favored the socialist health care systems of Canada, Britain, France and Cuba, Michael Moore made the fantastic claim that almost 50 million Americans are uninsured. Subtracting the 10 million non-Americans, the number of uninsured Americans falls to roughly 37 million. “And when you’ve got 47 million people in this country with no health insurance, they don’t go to the doctor because they can’t afford it,” “The number of Americans with no health insurance is continuing to grow as more and more employers say they can’t afford to offer group insurance … But according to the same Census report, there are 8.3 million uninsured people who make between 0,000 and 4,999 per year and 8.74 million who make more than 5,000 a year. A Lie that Promotes Big Government Moore, Clinton and Obama have used the lie about 40-some million uninsured Americans to promote universal health insurance plans.

Americans ‘lied to’ about ‘47 million uninsured’Bush, Hillary, Michael Moore said to greatly exaggerate stats on health care——————————————————————————–Posted: July 19, 2007© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com President Bush, Hillary Clinton, Michael Moore and much of the mainstream media are incorrect when they claim the number of Americans without health insurance to be 40 to 50 million, with the actual number possibly under 10 million. So says the Business and Media Institute, a Virginia-based division of the Media Research Center, a nonprofit watchdog organization designed to bring balance and responsibility to the media. The actual total is open to debate, says BMI analyst Julia Seymour. But there are millions of people who should be excluded from that [high] tally, including: those who arent American citizens, people who can afford their own insurance, and people who already qualify for government coverage but havent signed up. She notes government statistics also show 45 percent of people without insurance are not completely in dire straits, as they’ll have coverage again within four months after switching jobs. Accounting for all those factors, one prominent study places the total for the long-term uninsured as low as 8.2 million

Had to bolt to get to work early and then took the work van back here to go check on the dogs. Yes, as I said before I am an 8 year-old.Work was work. I think my charm made some people smile, but we are a bunch of people working on a Sunday. Somewhere after getting my car windshield replaced and catching a movie with a friend.I walked through Target and Wal-mart today. Gotta find a way to recover during my work days.

There’d been a rush of activity that same night, after a woman drove her Mercedes out of a garage and into the crowded restaurant across the street.

There was a time when I had best friends. When I had friends that were like sisters to me. I was invited to a beach house to stay with friends. When my friend and I got there the other girls who were there clearly didn’t want us there. I think the thing that hurt me most was that the friend I was with did not assist me in chewing out the other people and the person who invited us did not defend us for being there. Normally I would have felt bad but I felt satisfied.After that I made sure a situation like that would never happen again. Everything I was doing was to have something to fight back with…when (not if) a friend betrayed me. Then year after year I would be friends with women for 1-2 years and then something would happen, we would fight and I would leave/disappear.

Here are the chip counts heading into play today:I believe they are very close to the end of Level 30 — there might be a couple of hands left at that level. However, I am going to venture one prediction: Lee Watkinson will begin the night in an aggressive mode, and the degree to which he is successful early on will have a big influence on how the final table plays out. Play was very tentative, with players routinely folding to relatively small preflop raises. John âFalstaffâ Hartness summarized Watkinsonâs bubble play for PokerNews:âLee Watkinson had a big stack as hand-for-hand play began, and he used it to bully his opponents and increase his lead over his table. With eight short stacks surrounding him, Watkinson raised blind to 150,000 every hand, forcing players clinging to chips near the bubble to go all-in to call him. Watkinson did this all fifteen hands of hand-for-hand play, putting on a textbook display of big-stack bubble play.âWhen interviewed on Expert Insight this week (the Day 41 episode), Watkinson said he actually increased his preflop raises as bubble play wore on. Iâm taking this display as evidence that Watkinson will be playing with relatively less fear than his opponents tonight. One or more of them could play back at Watkinson with some reraises.Like I said, PokerNews is the place to go for live reports from the final table — particularly if you arenât shelling out the 9.95 to watch ESPNâs coverage.
