Zero Hedge Submitted by Chris Whalen, Institutional Risk Analytics “I was just reading your testimony on subjectivity and risk in models. I agree, though isn’t the contrast between objectivity and subjectivity more of a continuum? Think about banks. Only 100% reserves makes a bank objectively safe from runs. Once you move to fractional reserve banking you have to accept some subjectivity and make assumptions to model the right level of reserves in order to assess risk. TIn January 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court in the Stoneridge case followed its prior decision in Central Bank of Denver and held that there is no private right of action for "scheme liability" or aiding and abetting under the federal securities laws, ruling that Congress had reserved to the SEC the right to enforce aiding and abetting liability.   But what Congress has decreed, Congress can also change, and change is what Senator Arlen Specter proposed on July 30, 2009 when he introduceDmitry Brant, a DC patent attorney at a top patent law firm, recently launched a new software product aimed at the patent market named Patent ClaimMaster.  Patent ClaimMaster is a Microsoft Word plugin that helps you improve the quality of your patent documents while reducing costs.

I am posting this one for Michelle and Marko in mind, because I get the impression that they are supporting the status quo.  Rescission affects EVERYONE who has Health Care Insurance.   NO ONE is free from the threat.   You pay your premiums, you get sick or get injured and you get dropped from your insurance - and have to go it alone, financially.  80% of people who go bankrupt because of medical costs HAD INSURANCE when they were sick.   Rescission is a good reason why we need complete reform Birds are smart enough to fly south when things get rough up north.
