NEW YORK, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is from Betsy McCaughey, Ph.D., the author of the recent Bloomberg.com article, "Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan."

Ms. Cohen should keep in mind that these assurances made by the authors do not have the force of law. The ambiguities in the health provisions, the unprecedented discretion delegated to the Secretary of HHS to define a
