I was reading a article on Aol news this morning and the title was very interesting.

Bill Adds Therapists to Medicare Coverage
Senator, Craig Thomas is the one who proposed this bill. The bill will help people who are too poor to afford mental care. This bill will also help families that need to go to counseling and marriage counseling. The American Psychiatric Association said its a waste of money because more people will go for counseling and very few will go for things such as Schizophrenia.

Do you think that making adding therapists to Medicaid is a waste of money?

I think no that adding therapists to medicaid is a waste of money because many people that isnt wealthy enough to afford the proper treatment to their health conditions this could give them a big break. Also they isnt spending money on things that people need anyway so why they feel that this is a waste of money.

I believe that adding therapists to Medicare coverages will not be a waist of money. While some people may seek counseling because of a troubled marriage, which may seem as something the couple should pay for;many will recieve mental care. Overall those who are in need of help will recieve attention, through this program.

I do not think that adding threapists to Medicaid is a waste of money because this bill is just trying to help people out. Why wouldn't anyone want that to happen, to help people out who are in need. Even if the majority of people go for counseling instead of schizophrenia, it still is for a good cause. This bill is only attempting to do that, provide for a good cause.

NEW ARTICLE: Boating death a reminder of fuel-exhaust dangers

In this article i read in the Muskegon Chronicle, it told of a lady from the Detroit-area drowned while boating in Lake Huron due to an over-exposure to carbon monoxide fumes. This was just one of the 571 boating-related carbon monoxide poisonings between the years of 1990 and 2004. Off these 571 poisonings, 113 have resulted in death. Many people are unaware of the harmful side-effects of carbon monoxide.

Question: Should boating companies do more than put safety stickers on the sides of their boats to caution people against the harmful side-effects of carbon monoxide?

I believe this to be a good idea. People that are crazy need help and should be able to roam the land crazy because they can't afford to see a therapist. Medicaid is out there to help people with their health and there includes their brain. The idea should be put in process because mental poor people need it.

In the newspaper on Friday they said that a boy would be tried as an adult. The crime he committed was killing and mutilating a Bald Eagle. It said that he will spend at least 4 years in prison for his crime if found guilty. The Bald Eagle is the United States bird. It is also an endangered species. should the boy be tried as an adult for this crime?

I read and article on the wzzm13 news wed site, and it was posted on Sunday 13 of 2005. The article’s name was "Anti Wal-Mart Movie gets First Screenings in West Michigan" this movie is about how Wal-Mart is a store tries to run out small businesses and treats their workers badly. Wal-Mart argued back saying that the people who made the movie had the facts wrong and were offended by the movie.

Do you think that Wal-Mart is good or evil?

I agree with Janay. mental poor people deserve the right to get help too. Just because they are too poor to get help doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to get help. Medicaid is for people to get help with their health, and mental health is part of the well being of a person too.

I do not think that adding therapy to Medicare coverage is a waste of money. Many poor people have mental problems not just the rich. Sometimes people go through dramatic things in their lives and they need help to get through them.

I think that it matters how old was the boy that shoot the bird and who gave him the gun to have any ways. If it was a miner he should have had an adult looking after him making shear that nothing of that nature should have happened.
