Saves me literly thousands a year. For the same exact drug, made in the same exact plant, with the same exact lot numbers.

Yeah, it is basically illegal to get the same exact drugs, made in the same exact plants, fromthe same exact lots from canada thanks to Bush.

Yes the extreme right really has our best interest at heart - he said it was so no one got sick from bad or illegally made drugs. I thought the governement protecting the people from itself was a liberal thing?!?!?

Just lining their pockets based on the troubles and woes of sick people. How people voted for that regime twice is beyond me. Anyone with CH who voted for Bush and cannot get meds cheap should think of stuff like this.

Thank god for our gov in Wi who drafted a law allowing WI residents to cross the border for prescriptions.

Last time I checked, the Executive branch of government does NOT draft and propose legislation...

Let's get back to the topic, Insurance companies suck!

Ray

and more on point, I save thousands of dollars a year on presriptions I get from the folks up north, no thanks to the current regime and the pharm lobs in their pockets.

And I knew you'd be back. Let's do this another way………….

Here Tommy MANDATES the use of ethanol, the product his company produces.

Thompson signed the Midwestern Governors' Conference resolution:

WHEREAS, The Clean Air Act requires the use of an oxygenate in reformulated gasoline used in non-attainment areas; and
WHEREAS, This requirement has resulted in important air quality benefits to our nation; and
WHEREAS, The decision of petroleum refiners to use methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) rather than clean, renewable ethanol has resulted in serious degradation of groundwater in some regions; and
WHEREAS, Eliminating the oxygenate requirement is not necessary to allow states to ban MTBE, and would harm efforts to achieve the air quality goals in the Clean Air Act; and
WHEREAS, The United States Department of Agriculture has determined that ethanol can replace MTBE in reformulated gasoline nationwide within three years, without increases in price or supply disruption; and
WHEREAS, The use of ethanol not only reduces toxins and improves air quality, it reduces America’s dependence on imported petroleum and thereby reduces our nation’s trade deficit by some $12 billion over the next ten years, increases farm income by an estimated $1 billion annually, and reduces farm program costs by creating important new markets for grain; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Midwestern Governors’ Conference encourages Congress to maintain its commitment to the federal Clean Air Act by retaining the oxygenate requirement of the reformulated gasoline program and by implementing standards that ensure the opportunity for the use of ethanol blended gasoline in any reformulated gasoline program, thereby preserving the natural environment, protecting the public health and reducing the nation’s dependence upon foreign petroleum.

COOPER: But black's not the problem. Red and green are. Too much red ink, not enough money. What happened to the man a lot of people expected to waltz down the campaign trail, not fight every inch of the way?

Later tonight, it's supposed to be the homegrown answer to our addiction to expensive imported oil.

Here is another company making money on ethanol subsities from Tommy. These guys got prison sentances in 1999 for price fixing.

In a ceremony Tuesday at the City Brewery, Gov. Tommy Thompson signed legislation creating a state subsidy for ethanol production, saying the fuel additive would create jobs at the brewery, increase demand for Wisconsin corn, decrease dependence on foreign oil and result in cleaner automobile emissions.

"I think it's a win, win, win situation," the governor said at the ceremony at the brewery's hospitality center. Thompson signed 10 bills into law in La Crosse after signing 12 other measures in Eau Claire earlier Tuesday.

Trade Mission Tommy spending my tax money:

“The Pro-Alcohol program in Brazil didn't die, thanks to the U.S.,” says Laura Tetti, environmental consultant for the Sao Paulo Sugarcane Agri-Industry Union. “In 1998 Tommy Thompson of the Governors' Ethanol Coalition gave a speech in Brazil about U.S. plans for an ethanol program and our folks woke up.”

Tommy Thompson on Environment

Replace MTBE in gasoline with cleaner ethanol. (May 2000)

So I still say TT got WI on the corn juice as early as the early 90's. I can't find any links for that exact time frame, but the internet really didn't exist back then, or didn't exist like it does now. I'd have to do some real digging and it ain't worth it. Maybe the internet was just Al Gore with a notepad and some paper back then.......

Anyways, I lived part of that legacy back then. At this point you can continue to insinuate I am a liar or spreader of disinformation unopposed, just like you like it. I am done with this one.

And why did you go off on me about ethanol in repsonse to my thanksfullness to be able to get my prescripts from Canada? I think you have some anger issues.

Bill, That was the most manipulative and incongruent thing I have seen on the boards to date. I thought last night that I might want to copy your post, but I said to myself “naw, Bill would never go as far as deleting a post just because he lost an honest debate”. You have lowered the bar.

For a recap:

1. You jumped in the middle of my posting to someone (which was on topic) with misinformation that was off-topic, to spite me. With foul language and an aggressive tone towards me. Why? My post was true and relative to the topic at hand. When I post something almost anything that does not conform to your thinking, it seems you feel the need to jump in and attack it, even with off topic comments and foul language.

"You ask for opinions,"
2. My post never asked for opinions. I ask for opinions on CH related stuff, as that is why I am here. I already have all the opinions I need on the current republican party and Tommy Thompson.

"but it seems all you are doing is asking for people to step out from behind the bushes so you can take aim."
3. My post was about my personal experience and was in response to your attacking, misinforming post. So it is cool for you to jump in and attack my post and then tell me I am the bad guy for defending my post (and the attached connotation that I am a liar) when I post true facts that support my claims? Then you delete your misinformation post to try to make me look like the bad guy for posting all the stuff that disproved your original post? Never would have thought it possible from you.

[Edit] More so to your issue of me just "asking for people to step out from behind the bushes so you can take aim."
I was talking about getting drugs from canada. *YOU* are the one who brought up ethanol! YOU. How can what you said of me be true here? Am I psychic?

You started this, not me. Oddly enough you claim I am the one who has the condescending, know-it-all-attitude but then complain I am asking for people to "step out from behind the bushes" (i.e. you mean you here) but it is you who keeps jumping in and correcting peoples' posts, so I have long thought the same of you, hence this latest incident (funny it always works that way). So what don't you like about this last exchange you butted into? The that I am correct, or because you have been the one to be corrected (for once)?

For the record I didn’t have any of the links on hand when the conversation started, just my personal experience. I took the risk of being wrong and having to admit it, like I’ve done in the past on this very board.

You realize you just did the internet equivalent of taking your ball and bat and going home because you didn't get to win?

I could see this behavior from you being acceptable if I had attacked your posts, or I was the one who was incorrect. But getting on someone who is defending themselves from your misinformed and attacking posts is pretty incongruent. Especially since I just linked to facts, it would be different if I engaged you in your mudslinging and was also posting misinformation.
And I'd like to point out that in the last month or so I've admitted you've been correct on this very board or I have been wrong……… I am going to say a half dozen times (though I did not count). How many times have you conceded to me or anyone here lately? Here was a good opportunity, as you are clearly wrong, and instead you deleted the post where you attacked my post with misinformation. Does a "know-it-all" post “Bill is correct”?

I've also recently taken your direct criticism you PM’ed me to heart and changed some posts (admitting and accepting you were correct). What would you have done if I sent you a PM accusing you a being an elitist, due to the sloppy presentation of written word? And then you reply to my correction with "it’s a step in the right direction". Wow. I guess I should have thanked you for your criticism……….Oh wait I did that too (Sep 14th, 2008, 10:11pm “Thanks for pointing that out Bill.”)  I guess I should have also asked what more I should I do to be worthy of your approval. And you call me elite and condescending………. , which there is some truth there – I certainly can be an elitist but my posts are never posted to be condescending. How you preceive the intention behind black and white, no-emotion attached print says more about you as the reader than it does about the writer. The funny thing is lately I have been extra careful with you, posting with smilelys and trying to "play" with you to be your friend, so when you see that as condescending, I am not sure what else I can do.

I guess allowing you beat on my correct posts with your misinformation posts is what you want from me.

And I'd like to point out all of my PMs to you and yours have been positive ones and even included offerings of help during your surgery.

So understand that that whatever issues you have with me, they are just that, YOUR issues. I probably mirror yourself back to you and it pisses you off. I've never taken the liberty of quoting someone's post, and editing it, and then telling them "there I fixed that for you" though you do that often. You seem to fit your description of me to a "T".

Anyone doubts anything written here feel free to go to the “Members” page and look at my last 50 posts. I am sure what I said is there is really there and I am sure if one really wants to keep going back they will find more of the same.

Now I have to survive the onslaught of “how dare he post something in a PM” dogma.

I am a nice, giving person. Yes I am a bit of an elitist from time to time. But I can admit when I am wrong, and I do apologies when I am wrong, and I care enough that when things go wrong I try to square it up with those involved to the best of my ability. I am proud that I have differing views than some people and yet most often we are civil enough to agree to disagree. I also will walk through any door opened in front of me. That’s what this it. I didn’t start this, and I don’t think anything is wrong with finishing it as long as everything is truthful and fully disclosed.

Nothing for me to follow....too bad. This might have been fun...
