Ok, I'm not the most imformed person. I didn't know
that BP was British Petroleum so maybe this isn't news ...

The health insurance industry, along with major league
baseball, are the only two industries in the United States
with an anti-trust exemption.

It has worked out well for the insurance industry -- for the consumer - not
so much.

I'm wondering why it all of a sudden, is being mentioned
after a bill is through the finance committee. Some guy on
local talk said "that old thing" like it's no big deal.

I'm worried that health care is just like bank bailouts and
saving and loan scandal and billions of dollars missing in
military funds.

But on the other hand, I'm sure the money is being put in a
big fund to help vererans and the baby boomers retirement
and to save social security. Ha

Sen. Harry Reid says the health care proposal coming form the Senate
will cost $2,000,000,000,000. It's caught on video too. Does that scare
you?

Do you like the proposal from some in the House that says open up
Medicare to everyone. The system already existst. The contracts are
negotiated with the doctors and hospitals. No massive overhaul of the
medical system. Just start pulling people into this "public option" now.

Which is not saying that health care won't cost around that if the
bill isn't passed.
