Maria,
Thank you for the education. I understand that much is being done.
I am just frustrated and when hearing the health care budget dollar amounts, I felt we should have more in the budget. It is evident from your informative post that much is being addressed and certainly the
research that comes before the panel must be worthy to receive funding.

Jeanette, I too have a family member ( my cousin's son) who is a Marine Lt. serving his second tour in Iraq. I support our troops and Thank God we have these brave men and women.
But I would be lying if I said I feel correct with the money being spent on
the war. But that is an entire other issue and my post was directd at
having more dollars for health care.

Hopefully in the near future I will be able to devote time to these wonderful and excitng panels.

Kind Regards,
Jean
