Care Quotes
Under current law, most Americans can sue their HMO or insurance company if it denies care and a patient dies or is injured as a result. Again, most employees of small businesses already can sue their HMO. Only those employees who work in companies with "self-insured" plans are not able to sue, as these plans operate under the federal Employee Retirement, Insurance, Security Act.

Advertising Quotes
We make programming decisions on a day-to-day basis. We sell advertising on a day-to-day basis. This is the way networks operate. This is the way all television stations operate.

Act Quotes
We must encourage American businesses and farmers by weeding out the excessive red tape that Washington has been creating over the past decade. Regulations act as a hidden tax, and if we are not careful, they can begin to suffocate small businesses, destroy jobs, and choke off economic growth.

Address Quotes
Half the businesses we surveyed are family-owned. About a quarter of these owners expect to retire or sell sometime in the next five years -- but only 13 percent expect the businesses to stay in the family -- with 35 percent having no idea what they will do or expecting to close down. Owners often spend an entire lifetime building their businesses -- but rarely give thought to what will happen when they are ready to retire. As a family-owned business ourselves, we strongly encourage businesses to start planning now -- to minimize taxes and address other financial and emotional considerations.

Attractive Quotes

Bought Quotes
I think there will certainly be some concern about earnings, but there are also parts of the market that will probably be grossly overvalued. I may not be an expert in all of them, but I do know that the earnings that would be produced by the businesses over their lifetime could never justify their market capitalizations; people bought them because they thought they have to go up, so in that sense, they're thinking about psychology rather than economics.
