Just wanted to voice my admiration and gratefulness to Mr. Potter for speaking up the truth abouth the healthcare industry in the US. It is sad to think that someone can profit from an essential of life.It takes a big person to stand up to this business.
Bravo Mr. Potter
Best Wishes,
Aurora.

Ivanhoe mines, do a fair amount of coal mining as a quick search
coal site:ivanhoemines.com shows
On 11/20/2009, I found 156 results from ivanhoemines.com for coal, I have previously searched Kefi and CBH, without finding reference to coal.
Example:
'...The Ovoot Tolgoi coal mine is approximately 45 kilometres north of the Mongolia--China border. The mine is operating 24 hours a day, with four production crews.
During Q3'08, SouthGobi commenced initial sales of coal from the Ovoot Tolgoi mine to customers in China. Three coal products have been established for export from the Ovoot Tolgoi mine -- thermal coal, premium thermal coal and metallurgical coal. Coal trucks were loaded at the Ovoot Tolgoi mine site and crossed the border into China on September 22, 2008. This coal shipment is part of a one-year contract, with 300,000 tonnes to be loaded at the Ovoot Tolgoi mine gate in 2008. A second sales contract also is in place for an additional 400,000 tonnes in 2008....'

Our insurance allows one visit per year with a $20 co-pay. If the visit is coded with a medical diagnosis instead of as a routine checkup, our insurance won't cover it.
Our long time physician recently hired a new insurance clerk and she refuses to code with anything other than a medical diagnosis. To make things worse, the office has recently changed policies requiring payment up front for the office visit ($150) instead of just the co-pay and waiting for the claim to clear to pay any balance.
My new American healthcare plan is to stop taking the medication I have been prescribed and wait until something happens that requires emergency care (no, not using the ER as a physician's office...something truly dire). Our insurance will cover that, less a $50 deductible. We simply cannot afford "routine care" any more.
"Anonymous" obviously has no idea what would have been inevitable if the big banks had been allowed to fail.
Stupidity is as stupidity believes. The mistake was giving the banksters the rope to hang us with.
Re-regulate the bastards. Break up the mega banks. "Too big to fail" is too big to be allowed to exist. When in doubt, shoot them.
