If W. Loop 323 is the normal route you take everyday...you might want to find an alternate one this week.
Last Friday, storms moved through Tyler damaging the freshly laid seal coat on W. Loop 323.
Crews from TxDOT's contractor, Big Creek Construction, worked feverishly over the weekend and into Monday to strip the coat and clean up the gravel and debris left behind.
Now they are ready to start the overlay work, and the two northbound lanes on W. Loop 323 between 155 Frankston Highway and Shaw Street will remain closed until Friday morning.
Crews will be doing the hot mix resurfacing during the night, but the lane closures will remain in effect night and day.
Tyler commuters are going to want to use alternate routes to avoid major gridlock on the west loop through Friday.

Adriana's Kitten
My best friend Adriana has been attached to a stray kitten for over 2 months. She loves him dearly, will take care of him with all her life and love, and she would do anything to be able to keep him. Although her love and devotion glows, her parents do not want her to keep the kitten. She has told me over the past week that this kitten means so much to her. The kitten gives her motivation, hope, love, and she feels happier with her life. Please sign this petition to keep her stray kitten. Adriana will provide a LOVING and SAFE home for the kitten.

Writers Note: Justin Blackmon is not included in the draft poll because it is a virtual certainty he is out of the 49ers reach, as his top 5 status dictates. Coby Fleener is also not included because he is listed as a tight end.
At Niners Nation, we are introducing a pre-draft series that will allow the 49ers faithful to create a big board for the upcoming draft on April 26th. By polling you, we will collect data to organize the potential prospects that would be applicable to San Francisco's draft strategy. In this first edition, we kick off with the wide receiving position.
The wide receiving group coming out this year is deep, and there is plenty of talent to go around. The Niners could address the position as early as their first selection, but with the offensive line in need of high quality attention, San Francisco will likely pick outside the first round if their man doesn't fall to number 30.
If San Francisco were to pick in the first, the group of potential available players may look like Rueben Randle (LSU), Mohamed Sanu (Rutgers), Alshon Jefferey (South Carolina), Stephen Hill (Georgia Tech) and possibly Michael Floyd (Notre Dame).
First of all, every one of these players is talented in their own way; some guys are physical, some are lengthy, some have great speed, some are versatile and some have better hands than others. Hill wouldn't be someone the 49ers would pass up if he fell to them in the first round, and he seems to be popular amongst Niners fans already.
Jefferey and Floyd could fall to San Francisco for similar reasons, and those are character issues. A lot of teams frown on that sort of thing, especially when spending a first round pick. However, Jim Harbaugh and the Niners seem okay gambling on character issue guys, having brought in Randy Moss and Perrish Cox already this offseason.
The later round guys are a deep class and it might be tough to find the gem in the bunch. But to mention a few names that could really be a good fit for the 49ers, I'd have to say Juron Criner (Arizona), Brian Quick (Appalachian State), Tommy Streeter (Miami), Marvin Jones (California), Marvin McNutt (Iowa) and Dwight Jones (North Carolina).
If San Francisco uses their first overall pick on anything but receiver, I'd like and maybe expect them to get two receivers in the later rounds. Criner has great hands and body control, along with deceiving speed and the statistics to back it. I really like his potential, and believe he could do great things in the right system in the NFL.
Marvin Jones is a pick I like for a couple reasons; the first being that he's an in-state guy having played at Cal. But Jones is a playmaker that plays bigger than his 6'1" frame would indicate -- he leaps for the ball and catches away from his body. And I always like a hands receiver, which he's proven to be with his great concentration.
Quick, Jones and Streeter are all guys I like for the 49ers for the same reason: they're big lengthy guys who can come down with the football. I still think San Francisco needs a big tall pass catcher at the wide receiver position, especially with Randy Moss only on a one-year deal. One of these guys could learn behind Moss and since they all have a lot of upside, it may pan out better than expected.
So, don't forget to vote for who you'd like to see in a red and gold uniform come 2012. This sample may be heavy on the first round prospects but I encourage you not to be afraid to go with your gut on one of the sleeper late round guys who could really blossom as a 49er.

Article By: Brandy Rand
Ben Sandrof
Northeast Sales Manager, St-Germain (Cooper Spirits)
BEN SANDROF is someone who knows the world of wine and spirits from all sides of the business. From crafting the perfect cocktail to attending sales meetings, he's represented brands from behind the bar as well as out in front, working as both a distributor and now a supplier. He still maintains the easygoing charm of a seasoned hospitality expert, a trait usually lost in transition from on-premise to office. Sandrof has a unique perspective on the business of selling and growing brands. With strong relationships among an inner circle of bartenders, he also balances a managerial role at Cooper Spirits and still slings the occasional drink to connect with consumers. For this rising industry star, the journey is the fun part.
BRANDY RAND You started your career behind the bar then moved to a distributor and now you are on the supplier side. Was this always the career path you had in mind for yourself?
BEN SANDROF Definitely not. I didn't have any one particular path. When I decided to make a move from bartending full time, I wanted a lateral move in the same industry. I got to talking with a friend over at MS Walker and opportunity knocked. It's a great company with an amazing portfolio. I handled a bunch of restaurants in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville, helping them stay stocked with product, writing wine lists and working on back bar selections. I did that for two years when the job at Cooper Spirits opened up. I have been friends with Rob Cooper for a long time now and he runs an amazing company. Change has always been good to me in the past so I figured I'd give it a shot. Also, with Cooper Spirits I get to work with Horizon Beverage, learn their book and work with their talented sales team.
BR What's your favorite part of this business now that you've experienced all sides?
BS Finding ways to be creative, meeting talented people and experiencing what they are capable of. It is inspiring to see someone get to the point of mastering a craft and love what they do. I see more and more of that in the restaurant world today.
BR Any advice for bartenders who want to move to the "corporate" side?
BS: Don't rush it. Make sure it's what you want. It's very different from working in restaurants – something that gets ingrained in a person if they have been doing it for a while. My recommendation is to find someone who knows a ton about what you want to do and learn from them for a few years. You'd be surprised how much more there is to know, and how helpful that can be in the future! Don't ever get complacent; keep pushing yourself to do new things.
BR Biggest culture shock when you went from a night job to a day job was . . .
BS Weekends and (relative) nights off. Going out on a Saturday has never been less appealing to me – all the restaurants are jammed busy! It's nice to see, but most of the time I like them a little quieter . . . or at least be able to get a table!
BR What is your role at Cooper Spirits?
BS Northeast Sales Manager. I cover 5 states (VT, NH, ME, MA and RI). I work with the distributors to help them sell more St-Germain on and off premise. I also focus on educating restaurant staff about St-Germain to increase awareness and knowledge.
BR St-Germain is ubiquitous at nearly every bar in Boston. What makes the brand so popular with bartenders?
BS First and foremost it's delicious; flavors of honeysuckle, pear, peach and citrus translate really well with a variety of flavors. The lightness of flavor and low sugar content make it incredibly versatile.
BR Anything new and exciting things you'll be working on?
BS We're ramping up to launch Hochstadter's Slow and Low, a rock and rye of unparalleled quality. It's a blend of six and ten year old rye whiskey infused with citrus peel, a little rock candy syrup and bittering agents. It's basically an Old Fashioned in a bottle; delicious.
BR You still guest bartend at a few places – is it purely for fun?
BS Yes. Sometimes I'll do it as a favor but even then it's a lot of fun. I love it. I find it very satisfying to make drinks and tend a bar. I can't seem to kick the habit! I am picking up a couple of shifts at Sam Treadway's BackBar that opened recently in Union Square (Somerville) in the next month or so. We'll see what happens after that!
BR If you weren't in the spirits business, what would you be doing?
BS I might be a chef or part of the front of house in a restaurant somewhere. I'm a big fan of restaurants and how they operate; plus, I started out as a cook and I happen to love cooking. I like the idea of being a writer or an artist. Maybe later on in life I will have time for that. I recently planted a garden and am looking forward to working on that this summer. I love growing my own food, even on a small scale- herbs, tomatoes, lettuce- nothing crazy so far.
BR What was your first memorable cocktail experience, the one that made you say "wow" when you tasted the drink?
BS A friend of mine made me check out No.9 Park. I went along to see what the "fancy bar" was all about. John Gertsen made me a Tom Collins – an incredibly simple drink – that completely changed my perception of what was possible with cocktails. It's gin, fresh lemon, simple syrup and soda water done in a tall glass with ice. The kicker was the orange oil over the top. It takes the drink to another level. That was the first eye opener. The second was a Ramos Gin Fizz also made by John which, to date, is probably the best drink I have ever tasted. (Thanks John!)
BR Perfect cocktail of the moment for you these
days is . . .
BS Why, the St-Germain cocktail of course! Yes, I work for St-Germain. With that said, this drink is a perfect aperitif. It is refreshing and delicious without being cloying or sweet. It's versatile enough (and low in alcohol), to be drunk any time of day:
2 parts sparkling wine
2 parts sparkling water
1.5 parts St-Germain
poured in a tall glass over ice.
garnished with a large lemon twist.

Head coach Ken Whisenhunt said the competition for the Cardinals' starting QB job was expected to continue for at least another week after Arizona's 31-27 preseason victory over Oakland Friday evening. But most observers, it would appear, are in agreement that John Skelton has further separated himself from Kevin Kolb after throwing the first TD pass for either QB candidate this preseason among his five snaps.
One notable observer, Raiders DE Tommy Kelly, made it clear who he prefers after offering a scathing review of Kolb, who he sacked for a safety in the game.
"He is skittish. He is scared back there," Kelly said of Kolb, who completed his first three passes before unraveling and getting sacked three times, including Kelly's safety. "Anytime anybody gets close to him he starts looking at the refs. As a defensive lineman you love a quarterback like that. He ain't even trying to look at the routes no more. He is paying attention to us and you ain't going to get nothing done like that."
Another noteworthy development in the Cardinals' victory was the impressive preseason debut of RB Ryan Williams, who sat out his rookie year with a knee injury. Williams gained 25 yards on five carries, including a 15-yard gain and a TD.

Bear Grylls On Wilderness, Celebrities & Running Wild
I developed my lifelong love of the outdoors as a boy. My parents and grandparents took me backpacking in the Appalachian mountains and to our rustic cabin on Lake Hartwell, where I learned to set up camp, fish, start a fire (and cook on it), forage for wild berries and, most importantly, respect the beauty that Mother Nature has to offer.
On Running Wild With Bear Grylls, the British adventurer does the same thing with some of the world's biggest celebrities. It's thrilling to watch a nervous Ben Stiller rappelling down a mountain on Scotland's Isle of Skye, a terrified Tom Arnold conquering his fear of heights by traversing a tree over a 50-foot drop in Oregon, a boyish Zac Efron stoked to see a wild beaver in the Catskills, and the athletic Channing Tatum backflipping off a helicopter into the waters below.
But what makes the show even more interesting is the rare, honest glimpse it offers of these world-renowned stars emotionally overwhelmed by the challenges of pushing themselves to the limit in some of the world's most beautiful wilderness areas. It's an inspiring thing to watch, and has apparently inspired Discovery Networks to sign Bear Grylls for a 6-episode series, Breaking Point, in which he'll help regular people conquer their fears of nature.
I've been a big fan of Grylls– a former reservist in the British Special Forces (SAS) who later climbed Mount Everest and crossed the North Atlantic and the Northwest Passage in an inflatable boat– ever since his Man Vs Wild days. He recently spoke to us via cell phone from a little cove off the south coast of England.

(FOX 11 /CNS) A red flag warning was in effect this morning in portions of Los Angeles and Orange County, raising the danger of wildfire due to high winds, low humidity and warm temperatures, according to the National Weather Service.
Northeast winds are expected to peak this morning and then decrease this afternoon, according to the weather service. Sustained winds of 20-30 mph were forecast with gusts up to 50 mph, forecasters said. Relative humidity in the single digits and temperatures reaching the upper 70s were also forecast for today.
"A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures will create extreme fire (danger),'' according to an NWS statement.
The red flag warning went into effect at 4 a.m. and was to remain in effect until 6 p.m., according to the weather service.
The Los Angeles Fire Department planned to preposition resources beginning at 8 a.m. today at stations serving high hazard brush area, said the department's Erik Scott.
From Hal Eisner:
A big part of our 5
county area is under a red flag alert. When that happens there are concerns
about power lines down, wildfires and even driving in high profile vehicles.
Given that, fire authorities beef up their staffing and move equipment into
more fire prone areas so they can quickly get the upper hand on a fire. That's
not always possible, but they try. In LA, the city's fire department is adding
staffing to the fire stations in Woodland Hills, Encino, Encino Hills, Los
Feliz and Studio City.
They warn about things
that could start a fire like throwing a cigarette out a car window. They preach
the need for defensible space around a home. They encourage people to turn
their cars hood-out if there is a fire in the area so you can escape quickly
and they ask people to be on alert.
It's a "Red Flag
Day" -- be careful out there.

Everyone has things they do on the internet that are, let's say, less than productive. For some people it's games, for some people it's Facebook/Twitter/other social networking, for some it's YouTube cat videos (seriously dude no wait awesome kitty's on a treadmill), and so on. But I've just found a new way to waste several hours on the internet that is incredibly cool.
The Brooks Falls Brown Bear Salmon Cam.
You can watch brown bears in Alaska as they hunt for salmon in Katmai National Park, at the northeast end of the Aleutian Islands. I have two monitors on my desktop and one of them has pretty much been on that site all morning. It's awesome.
What are some of your favorite time-wasters? Anything else exciting in your world this week?

BOSTON -- Additional fare increases and service reductions will be required at the MBTA unless the Legislature approves additional funding for the authority, MBTA officials said Tuesday, less than a year after raising fares and accepting a state bailout.
T officials said they are facing a $120 million gap in the budget year that starts July 1.
MBTA Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Davis and Charles Planck presented a MassDOT committee with options that would close the budget gap, including a fare-only solution that would require a 33 percent increase, raising the cost of a bus ride from $1.50 to $2, and the cost of a subway ride from $2 to $2.60.
The most cost-effective service reduction, according to Planck, would be to eliminate the 30 least used weekday and weekend bus routes and subsidies for six municipally run bus routes. Those bus service reductions would net the MBTA $25.2 million.
Davis said eliminating the $120 million deficit without fare increases or service cuts is "not going to be possible through cost containment or additional revenue sources that we have control of."
House Speaker Robert DeLeo has identified funding for the MBTA and funding to help remove state employees from the capital budget as problems that must be addressed in transportation financing legislation this year.
Gov. Deval Patrick in January placed before the Legislature a plan to generate $1.9 billion in new tax revenues and steer those new monies into the public education and transportation systems. Lawmakers are working on their response to Patrick's proposal, with the House Ways and Means Committee budget rewrite due out April 10.

It's tournament time for anglers pursuing kingfish, dolphin and wahooFriday, April 16th, 2010
In South Florida fishing circles, the arrival of spring and warmer weather is usually met with the frequent utterance of this acronym: KDW.
It stands, of course, for kingfish, dolphin and wahoo, the three target species in most spring offshore tournaments.
For those planning to fish, often with dreams of big fish and prize money, the beginning of the spring tournament season often means digging deep into bait freezers, preparing live-bait rigs, spooling reels with fresh line and heading to the tackle shop to stock up on hooks, leader material, chum and all sorts of other ocean fishing paraphernalia.

Rules of (Digital) Engagement
If you are reading this right now, it's likely that you engage digitally for business and/or pleasure. There is a big, bright, virtual world out there for you to explore; offering entertainment, inspiration, information and opportunity.
That said, if you don't engage with purpose, all of those amazing benefits will turn to distraction, frustration and a black hole of mindless reacting. It is also easy to start measuring your self worth in terms of subscribers, followers, friends and word count. All of those things are meaningless.
Follow these rules for a more enjoyable, efficient, honest digital experience.
This is my favorite tool to connect with people for business and pleasure.
- Don't follow everyone that follows you or you will spend all of your Twitter time reacting.
- Instead of asking for retweets, share something that people feel compelled to share.
- Set a time limit when you go to twitter.
- Share something helpful.
- Ask questions and answer questions.
- Have a conversation. With people.
- Don't watch for updates or for people to mention you.
- When 20 minutes are up, sign out.
I have a personal Facebook account with fewer than 50 friends. My close friends and family are on this list and no one else. For a while I connected with more people, but knew there was a problem when I was looking at a "friend's" vacation pictures who I hadn't talked to in more than 20 years, while my vacation pictures were still on an SD card.
- don't answer the question "what's on your mind". Somethings are better left unsaid.
- set a time limit. 20 minutes is usually enough.
- thoughtfully engage.
- Have conversations. With people.
This is an awesome tool to chat via video or audio. It's free for Skype to Skype calls and very inexpensive to use as a phone line to call land lines or mobile phones.
- Don't assume that because someone is "on Skype" they want to talk.
- Send a text chat through Skype and ask "is this a good time?" Even better, set an appointment. That shows you value your time and theirs.
- Set your status to "away" or "invisible" if you are on another call or otherwise engaged.
If you currently receive an email when someone unsubscribes from your mailing list, or twitter feed, or facebook page, stop that. Pay attention to the overall trend of the numbers, but not the individual unsubscribes. When you are following someone that isn't adding value to your life or digital experience, unfollow.
Unless you are transporting organs for transplants, you don't need immediate notifications about anything. You can find what you need to know on your own time. When it matters. If it matters. Notifications are distractions.
- Turn off notifications. All of them.
- Your phone shouldn't remind you that you have email.
- The first thing you see when you open your computer doesn't have to be an announcement of who is on or off Skype.
- You don't need an email to tell you who subscribed and who unsubscribed from anything.
- Birds don't need to chirp when someone mentions you on Twitter.
Blog Reading
There is some amazing information being written and recorded and shared, but you don't need to consume all of it.
- Instead of scanning 30 blog posts a day, thoughtfully read 5 a week.
- Engage, comment, or share something special that you read instead of catching up or keeping up with 100′s of posts in your blog reader.
- Most reading material is not time sensitive. Set aside an hour each week to read your favorite blogs, instead of squeezing them in between tasks.
If you've ever spent a work day sending and receiving email and wondering why nothing got done, these rules will help.
- Follow my 5 rules for email sanity.
- Don't check email first thing in the morning. Do the things that mean most to you first, instead of reacting to what is important to everyone else.
- Limit email engagement to a few times a day instead of checking every few minutes to see if you have mail.
These are the rules I follow. They aren't the rules. Make them your own and modify them to work better for you. The point is that you are thoughtfully engaging. Understand that everytime you tweet, or post or hit publish, you are asking for someone's attention. If you value people, and their attention, you'll begin to share meaningful information and to share less.
Always keep in mind that followers, readers, friends, and stangers who email you are people. Clients, prospects and leads are people. Treat them like people. If you want to develop personal friendships online, think of other people when you share information. If you want to be successful in business, think less about strategy and more about people.
Last, but not least, please don't follow any of these rules in your car. The most important thing you can do when you're driving is drive. Turn your phone off when you get in your car. (unless you transport organs for transplants)
If you scanned through this post and missed most of the rules above, just follow these 3 rules of engagement:
Be kind. Solve problems. Make someone smile.

This really gives me some food for thought. I can easily waste a ton of time on the computer without even realizing it. I just came across your blog and I am really enjoying it-very inspiring. I love the mini-missions. I am easily overwhelmed, but even I can handle these mini missions. Thank you.
A good list. One I'm always trying to balance is blog reading. I really like Instapaper for this. If you see a post you want to read, but you don't really have time to read it now, you can click a "read later" button in your browser. Then you can go back to your saved articles when you have some downtime.
Since reading your e-book, I have my email response time down to 30 minutes a day. I try to only check it twice a day, but that is still hard for me! I only check FB once a day, 5 minutes on average a day! And, I use Twitter to share what inspires me or what I find useful. I'm not sure how to have a conversation on Twitter? And, I've been calling people more than emailing them.
P.S. Savor a few blogs instead of partaking in the whole buffet works for me! I don't want to leave anyone out, but it comes down to what is feeding me. If I want to connect with the people I've met through blogging, there are other ways besides reading all of their blogs!
so good. so smart. so easy. (i hope.)
So so true!!!
I love all these tips and have taken a few years to realise some myself, like turn off all notifications!!! Liberating!
I'll be sharing this on facebook so many people would have a better day, month, year if they started doing these!
Thanks again, loving your blog!
I have my own method, do not use Twitter, it is not secure; I do not skype, waste; Facebook!? it's even more unsecure than Twitter. I have email accounts set for various kinds of email. That way I know what to check when. Some accounts get checke early morning and later at night. Others get checked only when I have the time. Makes zapping old and unneeded email easy. Anything can be a waste of time. I find the first 3 the biggest time wasters.
The email tip is great! Doing something I enjoy first thing in the morning other than email sounds like a good idea! I don't use Twitter and I'll admit I don't understand it fully, but following someone on Twitter seems like alot of work.
Very clear and concise rules. I like them alot. Lately I've been getting on the internet to email and facebook no more than twice a day and not at all from my phone. I've adopted the idea that I get online with a purpose. Sometimes that purpose is to goof off but mostly its to catch up on a few blogs, do my banking, and get email out of the way, and not let it fester.
I received a link to this post from a friend, as I was bemoaning how much of my time seemed to be vaporizing into thin air trying "keep up" digitally – This is some of the best and most sound advice I read about the subject. Thank you so much for a great post! I sincerely thought to myself – "Wow! She gets it! She knows exactly what I'm struggling with." I especially liked the comment about immediate notifications. It seems the entire planet now also expects an immediate response! I am an outdoor communicator – and frankly having to respond to every immediate notification completely defeats my reason for spending as much time out of doors as I can. Most of the time when I am afield my phone is off – there is no such thing as a "duck call emergency" folks. I'll get back to you at the end of the day or tomorrow. Our societies ever increasing need for immediacy wears on me.
Thanks I really needed this blog post. I have my own blog so with my blog, twitter, Facebook (personal and fan) page, my youtube, and 2 email accounts sometimes I feel as though all I do is think about and check accounts. I am going to take your advice and limit the time I spend on social networks, limit fb friends, and take a day or two off per week.
This is excellent !!
Just recently found your site.
Amazing post. I love your ideas. They really click for me and give me hope for the true connection. THANKS!
Great work, Courtney. I feel so inspired to simplify my life!
Great ideas. It is so easy to spend hours on the computer without realizing it. There are lots of good things out there to read, but it can take up time that needs to be spent living instead!
Until very recently, I subscribed to dozens of newsletters. I'd say about half of that was in the minimalist community and the other half in Internet Marketing or How to Blog genre. At the beginning of this year I un-sub'd everything and now I have to make a conscious decision to go out and read something, like I did with this article.
Two weird things about this…one, it's been several weeks and I still catch myself hitting refresh on my email account for my iPhone and nothing pops up…still hoping something pops through I guess.
And the second thing is the amount of extra money I seem to have in my account now. With a couple dozen newsletters, there were several enticements to buy. This is more so true in the Internet marketing world where every email is a solicitation. But still, it all adds up.
- Charlie
Thanks Courtney for that beautiful reminder! Sometimes it's TOO easy to get caught up in all of it. Gentle nudges like yours help!
I really enjoyed this post. I included it on my "Weekend Roundup" post
This is clear and easy to implement! We all need simple advice like this in these days of digital addiction. Part of the issue is the compulsion to engage.
It is so interesting to find that once I stopped being obsessed with it, things started to grow the way I had hoped they would.
Now it is fun to open up stats here and there and go, wow! Instead of checking daily or even more than once a day on how it's all going I really like engaging more as well instead of thinking of it as strategy, I've actually met some very cool people and found inspiration through them as well.
I don't even keep the ringer on most of the time on my phone anymore. Just because it rings does not mean I need to stop what I'm doing and answer it, though I think it is important to get back to people. It is also important to pay attention to who I am with in the moment or where my attention is in the moment.
Love your rules. I continue to fill my mind with this type of thing and keep myself on a clearer path. At least for myself.
I really enjoyed this. I've been trying to make adjustments to the time I spend on all of the social networks and am slowly, incrementally improving. This was a great reminder.
Hello Courtney.
I really found interesting information here. specially about Twitter. I like your 20 minutes rule on twitter.
I have been told that it is good to engage with other users (They always say the more you interact in twitter the more you get response). It was true but… on the last two days I was overwhelmed with the amount of time and effort spent on Twitter to make engagement with around 5-10 people which costs me around 5 hours for onlyy two days.
Yet, I'm wondering when it comes to your website traffic… do you think twitter is good source to get traffic? or is it better to spend time on creating quality content and leave the rest of the work for Mr. Google search?

Healthcare Emergency
A message from Lee Thomas, ANMF Federal Secretary
The Federal Council of the ANMF, Australia's largest health union representing over 240,000 nurses and midwives, has unanimously expressed it's strong disappointment at the announcement by the AMA to support a GP co-payment.
"While the AMA proposal seeks to soften the Government's budget measure, no amount of tinkering around the edges changes the fact that a co-payment undermines the universality of Medicare and will adversely impact on many groups in our community. The ANMF will continue to campaign against a GP co-payment and calls upon the Australian Parliament to reject these proposals."
Go to ANMFtakeaction.org.au to take action and tell the Senate to reject the GP fee. #healthcareemergency.
