Landrieu on Health Care Gender Discrimination
October 24th, 2010 | 
Author: 
Senator Landrieu was one of nine women Democratic Senators to take to the senate floor on October 8, 2010 to address the issue of gender discrimination in health care.
Because women require more regular contact with their doctors during their reproductive years, they are regularly charged higher premiums than men. 40 states, including Louisiana, and the District of Columbia allow gender rating, under which insurance companies charge women more for the same coverage as men.
In Louisiana, all of the best selling insurance plans gender-rate, costing women up to 38% more than men who are in the same circumstance, same health and same geographic location.

Mike Mitternight from Metairie Louisiana
As a small business owner of Factory Service Agency and an active participant in health care reform discussions, he is concerned about the taxation schedule. Mike says he pays for his familys health insurance and the premiums for employees, not because he has to, but rather because such coverage should be the choice of an employer. It should not be a government mandate to provide health care.

How many states will Obama’s attorney general sue…?
…before his ignominious ousting in 2012?
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100804/D9HCF3I80.html
"About 71 percent of Missouri voters backed a ballot measure, Proposition C, that would prohibit the government from requiring people to have health insurance or from penalizing them for not having it."
"Legislatures in Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana and Virginia have passed similar statutes without referring them to the ballot, and voters in Arizona and Oklahoma will vote on such measures as state constitutional amendments in November. Missouri was the first state to challenge aspects of the federal law in a referendum."
FOX TV? Nevermind that it is an AP story?
I guarantee he will not sue all the States Obama wants sued. I am 100% certain he will never be able to locate all 57 nor can Barack name them.
Cap stops gushing oil, but problems still flow throughout Louisiana
The capping of the broken oil well comes as welcome news for those along the Gulf Coast, but people there are far from celebrating. At the posh MiLa restaurant in downtown New Orleans, oil has already changed the menu.
“Lately, we’ve been buying black bass from North Carolina, Alaskan Halibut, and oysters from Connecticut,” said Slade Rushing, chef and owner of MiLa.
Creeping crude has marred the perception of Louisiana seafood, but even with BP saying it has now covered the broken oil well, the comfort that follows is not without worry.
“We’re all just kind of walking on egg shells and keeping our fingers crossed,” said Rushing. “We’ll see.”
Along parts of coastal Louisiana, the reality is the fear and frustration has not stopped even though the gushing oil has. The problems are still flowing.
“We might be out of business five, maybe 10 years,” said Belle Bundy, owner of a seafood loading dock in Lafitte.
At a meeting aimed at comforting residents about a new independent claims process, many filtered out of the Lafitte Convention Center with more concerns than when they arrived, Raymond Griffin among them.
“The oil is still out there, it hasn’t magically disappeared just because they put a cap on it,” said Griffin. “We wish it would, it hasn’t.”
We first met Griffin in early June. Oil turned his charter fishing business into a bust and his lodge a ghost town.
“We don’t know if we’re ever going to open back up,” said an emotional Griffin on June 3. “I mean how tough is that?”
Now he’s waging yet another battle: BP’s claims process. For two months of lost work, he says he showed BP piles of paperwork proving a shortfall of about $120,000. The oil company, he says, offered him $24,000.
“My health insurance is $3,000 a month, my wife’s chemo medicine is $900 month,” said Griffin. “My apartment complex…that we own, where our people stay is $3,000 month, our utilities is $2,000 for our fishing lodge, plus our taxes and flood insurance and other things, so it doesn’t add up.”
As residents head home from the claims meeting in Lafitte, cleanup crews down the road prepare for the night shift. Pristine white boom lay ready to be deployed, ready to soak up the crude. The scene is somber, but now routine.
“The oil is still going to move with winds, the tides, and the currents,” said Dr. LuAnn White, a toxicologist at Tulane University. “So it’s likely we’ll still see oil coming on shore for a period of time.”
Despite the cap in the Gulf, few things have changed along the Louisiana coast and likely won’t for awhile. From the docks of Lafitte to the kitchens of New Orleans, there is now a new normal, one that’s still hard to swallow.
