This is not to say that some form of it will be implemented. What Obama is pushing, although he admittedly hasn't read it, is the federalization of virtually every aspect of healthcare. There are portions that recommend limited treatment of heart disease and aggressive cancers for patients over the age of 65.<br><br></p> <p>In the meantime, the concern that has arisen due to the media blitz on healthcare is that reimbursement is continually being decreased, increased taxes are on the horizon and overhead costs are creeping up due to inflationary factors. The bottom line of all this to the physician is how can I make more money doing what I'm doing. Our service addresses that issue which is why we're seeing the kind of growth we've seen in the last two months.</p> I’m fairly convinced that the plan as it stands will not be passed.

This was very beneficial and helped clarify many new items that the SEC has issued. One question though was on the new 144 rule time frames - could you clarify that?</p> Thank you!
