Affordable Health Care in Georgia
People in Georgia are keeping a watchful eye on their wallet and the cost of health care.

HealthNet Denied Access to Medicare Seniors

Poppa Washington
The Oracle of Washington, who knows all, see's all, is poised to pronounce what is good for us in the way of health care. This is the same group that thought it was a great idea to make housing available to everyone regardless of their ability to repay their mortgage.
