http://www.onebigdog.net/the-right-to-an-attorney/. I have been thinking about this for some time now. It all started when I wanted to file several lawsuits for government involvement in causing cancer. You see, the several states in the Union, including the state of Maryland, filed suit against tobacco companies claiming that their products caused cancer and that this was an increased burden on the Medicare system because a lot of money is spent on people with tobacco related illnesses and the

The effort is backed by a coalition that includes the

Wow, June was a little rough. Net worth fell approximately 5.0% on account of two major reasons: quarterly estimated tax payments and retirement accounts. Outside of those two, which really consists of not much else, everything is progressing as expected. Neither income nor expenses, outside of the roof, had drastically changed.

Say you wind up in the hospital. The hospital bills your insurance, but the insurance company thinks the price is inflated and only pays part of what’s billed. So the hospital decides that you owe the portion your insurance won’t pay. This is called “balance billing,” and it’s been debated in health-care circles for decades. It’s bubbling up now in California, where the state is suing a big hospital operator called Prime Healthcare Services over the practice. The LA Times has the story. Pri

Barack Obama would give a speech at 9:00 AM, eastern standard time, to address the surging rebellion on his own campaign web site by people outraged at Obama’s support for the FISA Amendments Act.

As always, this is not legal advice. If you want legal advice, consult an attorney, not a blog. Is the Form 17 part of the purchase and sale agreement (PSA)?
