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. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison |
