You seem to have captured the essence of it. However, it does make me leery the FAA does not really have a clue as to the actual impacts of changes to seat pitch regarding safety. <br /><br />This from Runway Girl network. https://runwaygirlnetwork.com/2017/07/30/faa-is-no-stranger-to-egress-questions-as-court-orders-review/<br /><br />The court merely asked for FAA to study the problem and see if it did affect safety and I'd be more comfortable with real-world evacuation testing than computer models.

The obvious lesson to draw is that better health outcomes are obtainable if the cost of health care is no issue. I'm sure that those standard chemo treatments are readily available in Scotland; they're just not covered by the NHS. Al Megrahi likely could have afforded chemo in Scotland had been a normal citizen. Because he was, in fact, a jailed criminal with no income, he could only "afford" treatments that were fully covered by the NHS.<br /><br />Once he got back to Libya, the Qaddhafi regime was happy to pay for lavish treatment for al Megrahi -- although it was a bit more stingy with his fellow citizens.<br /><br />Obamacare will certainly not make chemo unavailable in the U.S., but it will guarantee that the poor have access to basic healthcare. You worry that people won't be able to get advanced treatment under Obamacare, but there are tons of people that can't get <i>any</i> treatment now -- they can't afford it!Chris Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284300735199759956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4204124519235836943.post-50219088982477590462012-06-20T22:00:46.181-05:002012-06-20T22:00:46.181-05:00Hi Dick-- I think you, and the WSJ editors, are qu...Hi Dick-- I think you, and the WSJ editors, are quite wrong on this. The obvious conclusion to draw from this story is that better health outcomes are obtainable when the cost of health care is no issue. I'm sure those standard chemotherapy treatments are readily available in Scotland, they're just not covered by the NHS. If al Megrahi had been a normal citizen, he likely could have afforded chemo. Because he was, in fact, a jailed criminal with no income, he could only "afford" treatments that were completely covered by the NHS.<br /><br />Once he got back to Libya, the Qaddhafi regime was happy to pay for lavish medical care for al Megrahi -- although it was much more stingy when it came to other citizens' medical needs.<br /><br />Obamacare will absolutely not make chemotherapy unavailable in the U.S. It will make sure that the poor have guaranteed access to some basic medical care, however. You worry that people won't have access to chemo under Obamacare, but there are tons of people that don't have access to chemo now -- they can't afford it!Chris Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284300735199759956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4204124519235836943.post-85686826837793562282008-11-26T17:20:00.000-06:002008-11-26T17:20:00.000-06:00You are on point on most accounts.

Congress will not stop earmarking unless President Obama stand firm on his position of cutting down on Federal spending except for the financial crisis.<BR/>Congressmen are expected to bring home the bacon and earmarks have replaced Executive branch discretion in what gets funded. Thus, we have some states that get special road or aviation projects even if less needed than others across the nation. <BR/>As for Congressional hearing I totally concur on the thrust of the hearings. It is a grand show. I have often said the most dangerous place in the Capitol is the hallway where the TV cameras are located. A person can get run over by a Congressmen running to the lights like moths to get their 15 minutes of fame on whatever they think is important to them.jamesmarquezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941844811170506094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4204124519235836943.post-77027191108957845222008-11-10T15:19:00.000-06:002008-11-10T15:19:00.000-06:00Good words.Good words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
