Got a busy morning ahead – will check back in when I can. In the meantime, make sure to post any interesting links you find on today’s elections in the comments. I’ll have a lot of catching up to do later when I liveblog the elections tonight :)

    I’ve just posted a video from the CFP featuring a European economist explaining why we’d be nuts to imitate their model of nationalized health care: Don’t Copy Europe’s Mistakes.

    For today’s elections, I’m predicting two out of four for our side: Virginia is a landslide for the Republican for governor and Hoffman comfortably wins NY-23, while the Democrats easily win CA-10 and steal (literally) the win in NJ.

    I like to have freedom of choice in selecting my coverage, just as with my auto insurance. I have a relatively high-deductible ($10,000 over 2 years – 100% thereafter) Major Medical insurance. What I save in premiums with this comes close to my deductible – plus I have a Medical Savings Plan. It’s all quite inexpensive. It does not cover aromatherapy, massage therapy, chiropractors, homeopathy, addiction treatment, experimental treatments, abortions and other elective procedures like sex-change operations, routine check-ups, and tons of other things that politicians, under pressure from interest groups, will squeeze into the government-designed plan.

    The insurance I have today, which is designed to keep you out of financial catastrophe if you get really sick, would not be permitted under the Baucus plan.</blockquote>

    I agree Anthony, the election is NJ has a good chance of being stolen if it is close. I post on just this today. We be watching the returns closely tonight, those from the metro areas in NJ need to be watched as that where the election fraud will be. Also the large numbers of absentee ballots being sent to those predominately black areas. I understand those are about 15 times higher than in 2008—I smell a rat!!!
