Oeponents, . including lawyers ~~o represent malpractice VICtuns, say the legislation dot;s not hold insurance companieS responsible for the rate increases. House . Speaker Larry Householder. a Glenford Republican, said the bill _is fair for consumers because It creates . a reasonable limit for people to seek damages on their claims. "At the same time with the pooling concept, we're keeping the amount health care providers would have out of pocket at .a number everyone seems to think will allow the premiums to drop . down," Householder said. That, he said, will keep doctors in Ohio, ensuring patients access. Under the legislation, if a jury awarded a p~tient $500,000, the doctor's msurance company would pay $350,000 and. the fund would 'pay tlie remaining $150,000. Each would pay half qf a $1 million award. Rep. John ~lliamowski,_ a Lima R!':pubhcan and _chatrman of the House Civil and Commercial Law 'Committee, said he · wants the Insurance Department to spread out the costs of paying mto the compensation fund over a broad base. The committee approved the bill Monday. "The concept itself is . sound," Williamowski said, noting that other states, . including Nebraska and Indiana have... such . funds.

COLUMBUS (AP) Damages in medical malpractice cases would be paid for in part from a compensation fund, under a House-passed bill that also caps pain-andsuffering awards for injured . patients. The bill, passed 64-3 3 by the .House with two members not voting Tuesday, would order the Ohio Department of Insurance to recommend by March I how to create a compensation fund to reduce the amount of money insurance companies would have to pay out ' The department would. determine who would pay into the fund and how much it could potentially contain. The new Legislature convening in January then would have to pass a bill creating the fund. "Nothing's on the table, nothing's off the table. It's wide open," said state Rep. Tim Grendell, a Republican from Chesterland who sponsored the bilL "It would be reckless right now to try to fill in those blanks." He said Ohio's fund could be paid for by health care providers, a surcharge paid by consumers with health, auto and other insurance, cigarette taxes or from punitive damages a warded to plaintiffs. The Senate already has passed a version of the bill . that did not include the compensation fund. The bill now returns to the Senate, which must agree with the changes for it to go to Gov. Bob Taft Current law does not limit the amount of money a j liry can award a victim of medical malpractice for pain and suffering . Under the 'bill, damages would be capped ·at $500,000 for most claims and $1 million forinjuries causing permanent disability or damage.

"We should recognize the contribution of undocumented Mexicans and open the door for them to earned legal ization," he told the Mexican daily El Financiero. "Talks should center on ihe criteria that will allow people to obtain . COLUMNIST that status." In an interview with the Mexican paper Reforma, Garza suggested that the criteria might be based on "the the opposite," he continued. "That for length of their time in the country, their secunty reasons it is a good idea to employment record, if they have chil- legalize those Mexicans who work effidren in school, if they have a real com- ciently and productively and co.ntribute mitment to the community."

Now, . Mexico is making a similar _ mistake, overly concentrating its atten- · tion on the illegal immi~ration issue, ; pressing the Bush admmistration to · move full ahead with a pro~ram to . legalize the status of millions of Mexican expatriates. In· fact, Fox raised the matter with President Bush during the recent Asia ' Pacific Economic Cooperation summit . in Los Cabos, Mexico.

I was looking for something sober. and simple. A plain white card that said something like, "We were saddened to hear of your loss. Please accept our sincere condolences. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time." That you cannot buy. You can, how ever, buy any number of cards with embossed silver lilies on the front that say, with small variations, ''He was the best person on Earth and after he invented cold fusion and time travel he gave all his money to wiiilows and orphans. When he wasn't feeding the homeless he was building them houses. Albert Schweitzer and Mother Theresa wi shed they were.as good and kind as he was. I beg you to make it a closed coffin funeral or I might jump in. Why him, Lord; and not me?" That ~ more than I. really wanted to say. Maybe someone closer to him, say, the oil delivery guy or septic-tank cleaner, could send something th at fl owery, but I was practically a stranger. Besides, it was so vague. Like one of those eulogies by a preac her who never met the deceased . I've been to funeral s where, after the preacher's finished, I have to look at the program to make sure we' re burying the right/erson . If that car was too flowery, others were not flowery enough. I didn't have the heart to put my signature on this one either: . "Even though he was in a nursing home for the last eight years .and hadn't spoken in six, we were shocked. We'd been planning to go see him fo~ years and. now it's too late. If only he could have hung on until our kids finished soccer season, we could have been there for him. If you need anything, I mean anything, please let us know. Well, nor on Tuesdays, that's Jim 's bowling night. And Friday 's are pretty bad, too. Sue's taking that Thai cooking class. What's going to happen to that big rolltop desk he had? It would really look good in our library. I'm sorry, that was an inseositive thing to say. You might think it will look better in our family room. Who are we to tell you what to do? Thursdays are no good at all. That's ' Survivor' night. We never miss it. Now that I think about it, you ' re the one with all the free time . now. Maybe you should come over here and help us . They say . work will take your mind off your trouples." While looking for something with just the right tone, I · accidentally picked up some cards from the "Birthday - Seniors" section. "Hey, : you old geezer, drop dead and make · room on the planet for someone else," read the first one. "I wanted to get you : something extra special, but Dr. · Kevorkian is in jail,' said the second. : "I gave you this same card last year, · but you probably can't remember it, . can you, you senile old fool," said the third.

What it wil become in the flesh, and exactl y when that form will take its fina1 shape; remain anyone's guess. This colossal melding of 22 federal agencies and their 170,000 employees into an effective shield against terrorist attacks on this nation, even while ai-Qaida and its allied ter-· rori st brotherhoods remain a daily threat, is unlike anything ever before attempted. As Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman, one of its earliest proponents, put it, "It's like asking Noah to build the ark <ifter the rain has started to fall." Ameri ca ns can be excused if they feel little safer for its passage. Reorganization of these agencies is, in the end, simply a redrawing of command chains, a rerouting of paperwork, a redesign of the only thing the federal government cari be - a bureaucracy that is no better or worse than the daily perfor_mance of its lowest-ranked employees. . It increases secrecy, ·decreases the people's right to know what their government is doing in their name, and, if carried to· 1ts potential extreme, threatens to eradicate any ve.stige of privacy in our daily lives. .!' A homeland security bureaucracy, whatever its benefits, is not worth the sacrifice of fteedom that might be demanded as its exchange rate. It cannot be allowed to turn the homeland into a veritable prison. But the machinery for such a transition is in place. Only an involved, informed citizenry can prevent it.

"The Big East and the Insight Bowl also wanted to push this forward." · . ~ The IJig East's No. 3 team - in this case, Pittsburgh already was penciled in to meet the Pac-IO 's No . 4 team in Phoenix. But last weekend, Insight Bowl president John Junker was in active talks with Virginia Tech to be the Big East representative. If that had happened, Pittsburgh might .have slid into the Dec . 28 Continental Tire Bowl in Charlotte. However, the Panthers risked being bumped if Notre Dame didn't land an at-large invitation to the Orange or Cotton Bow I and went to the Gator Bowl, knocking West Virginia out and sending the Mountaineers to Charlotte. That might have left Pitt scrambling for an at"large bid tci a less. attractive bowl. Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese didn't want that to happen to a team that regularly attracts excellent TV ratings, and he stepped in to bring P.itt and the Insight Bowl together. Bowl officials began to back away from Virginia Tech and toward Pitt during a conference call Monday. Pitt is attractive to the Insight Bowl because it helped draw ESPN_'s hig~est college football raungs smce 1999 for its 28-211oss to No. 1 Miami on Nov. 21. The 2417 loss Saturday to West Virginia drew good ratin~s in the East Coast markets m which it was available. ."I talked to a lot of people ' about a lot of teams, and I'm happy where we are now," Junker said. "Pittsburgh is a great TV market and an attractive team." Pitt will go into its third consecutive bowl appearance and fourth in six years under coach Walt Harris with four losses by a combined 24 points, all to teams ranked at the time: Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Miami and West Virginia.
