That's all good and well but who is going to see it? It won't have any impact if it's not aired on a major network right?

9/20/10 - I think I jinxed myself. As soon as I told dr b and dr Sullivan I was doing well (on 6/1/10) I tanked and have experienced the return of pain. My neuro says the new pain is at t4.

Years ago, as a small business owner, I had access to a co-op type of insurance that went bankrupt because of mismanagement. I've often thought it could work with enough people. As a non-profit, premiums would be less with more benefits, no lobbyists, little advertising, salaries on a par with non-fortune 500 companies. Only funds held would be for reserves.

Sorry, I think I feel asleep and had a dream... would be nice.

It is interesting that the producers of the film chose to feature the ADR issue.
I too would like to see this get major network air time--I wonder if they've sent it to 60 Minutes, CNN, etc. and if so, what the response was. We can all help by sending the link to friends and relatives.
