Yes, we all know the definition of insanity. It’s doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!

We see this kind of  "insanity" all of the time, and all often we see it in Washington. Unfortunately, we also see it in our own backyard too. But this time we Nevadans can do something about it!

I’ve added a new link in the right sidebar (here) which is something I think you’ll find interesting. I think we’ll call it the Nevada Republican Teeter-Totter. It truly is an exercise of doing the same thing over and over again… and getting NO results!

Check out below just how well Dean Heller and John Ensign do with taking care of children and health services for Nevadans. (This comes from the new link here.)

Putting it simply, here are some of my key positions on health care.

America can’t afford to let almost 50 million people go without healthcare; it costs all of us in the long run. That’s why I support compelling insurance companies to provide low cost healthcare plans for all Americans.

• We need to ban pre-existing conditions in the American healthcare system.

• We need to do a better job controlling costs with electronic medical records.

Some startling facts about health care in Nevada:

• Since year 2000, the number of Nevadans who spend more than a tenth (10th) of their pretax income on health care has increased by 155%.

• Also since 2000, there has beeen a 188% increase in the number of Nevada families that pay more than 25% of their income for health care as well. (Folks, that needs to change for the better!)

• More than 700,000 Nevadans under 65 years of age are paying more than a tenth (10th) of their income for health care.

• Of these, more than 200,000 families are paying more than 25% of their income for health care.
