Gee...it's just as I said it was from day one.

How did I know? First..it was all white. Second..the speakers were all
more concerned with "socialism" (which they don't know a damn thing
about other than what they've been told on AM talk radio) than health
care.

We are the only industrialized nation without some form of universal
health care. Whether you like it or not it's going to happen. There's
not a damn thing you can do about it. You need to learn to fight the
fights you can win.

The Democrats might want to take that advice. They can turn health
insurance companies into public utilities if they want and get some
Republican support in the bargain. There is more than one way to skin
a cat. All this hoo rah over "socialized medicine" is a smoke screen
for what they really fear which is regulation, which is, of course
what is really needed. Sensible regulation, of course, but that is
probably too much to hope for.

There are some very important and needed reforms in that bill that are
in danger of going down the tubes if they can't find a way to work out
a compromise. Obama better find a way to look like a leader, and fast.

Agreed. We need and will have universal health care eventually.
Not if I can help it. Universal health care is the worst thing that can happen. Socialism and communism are the tools that destroy nations.

I pay for my own health care, why can't you?

It WILL happen whether you like it or not because it's the best
solution. EVERY industrialized nation BUT us has figured that out.

It's the 20% who DON'T have it that cost the most. Haven't you been
reading anything about this the past 3 months?

You didn't answer my question.
