STATES OUT IN FRONT OF FEDS ON KEY ISSUES by Jennifer Mock, Staff Assistant; Stateline.org; May 23, 2001

POLICY INITIATIVES: When Oklahoma State Senator Angela Monson testified before Congress on March 15 on a proposed federal Patients' Bill of Rights, she threw her support behind legislation that has languished in Washington, D.C., Monson noted that the states "have taken the lead in providing needed regulation of managed care."

Have you ever talked to a conventional conformist about politics, you get the feeling that you are in a room all by yourself? Well, that sensation of being alone, might just be better than knowing that these yuppies are the people who are running the businesses and bureaucracies.

To go along, to get along is the motto of these mild mannered practitioners of adherence to the details of procedure, policy and codes. They are the nuts and bolts that drive the machinery of commerce and government, on its course of protecting the status quo.
