The President went on to state that while paychecks were flatlining various expenses--including healthcare coverage-- were increasing.  Our take on this point would be--you haven't seen anything yet.  The figures that have been touted for future healthcare coverage with regard to the new healthcare law have been estimated in the 15-20% range just for starters.  So we can now begin to  see that the Democrats' main explanation for establishing Healthcare Reform Law is, indeed, bogus.  Costs are guaranteed to go up, as insurers must now include a veritable host of health maladies which are difficult to underwrite for and establish sufficient rates to pay claims while maintaining healthy claims reserves (as required by authorities).

3. Reducing Hot Flashes through Yoga $ 147,694

This one, in particular, should be bifurcated into the "Green Energy Program.".....
