What if home health care agencies, funded by Medicaid, collapsed all across the country under the weight of the Affordable Care Act’s penalties in the “employer shared responsibility for health care coverage” section? William A. Dombi, executive director of National Council on Medicaid Home Care, says “We need to start an advocacy fire under this issue,” as access to care will be in serious jeopardy.

A timely action link below should be forwarded to any and all small business owners, not only to owners of home health care agencies. There is a rapidly closing window when public comments on this issue may make a difference--but this is the best kept secret in Washington!

Shock of shocks. Today Thom Hartmann encouraged President Obama to kill the public option. I was in disbelief until I heard his proposal. Meanwhile, our great WI senator, Russ Feingold, has come out strongly in favor of the public option. These two positions may not be mutually exclusive.

Early/absentee voting in Wisconsin started yesterday, and since I will be in Arizona on Election Day, I decided to go in person, rather than risk my ballot being forwarded between our two residences and missing the deadline. Yes, I am one of the "elite" who owns two homes and will pay more taxes under Obama--but will be grateful to be able to do so. Like Joe Biden said, I believe in these hard times it is patriotic for some of us who CAN pay more, to do what's good for the country. I am appalled by the selfishness and greed of some people in my tax bracket. And since I don't have health insurance in Arizona--and can't buy it at any cost due to pre-existing conditions (we pay $1,700 a month for our Wisconsin coverage that is only good for six months of the year)--I am hopeful Obama's plans will help me as well as those who are less fortunate than I am.

And so I went downtown excited and determined to make sure my vote counted. But I was totally unprepared for an emotional meltdown in what passes these days as the "voting booth."

Love and fierce loyalty for their chosen primary candidate? Yes. Party membership? Not necessarily--not all are Democrats. Can we assume they share core beliefs in the need for affordable healthcare, ending the War in Iraq responsibly, and providing real solutions to real and pressing problems of their voters? I hope so.

But there's one thing that both Obama and Clinton supporters have in common that may well help unite us.

Follow me below the fold.
