From memory didn't it say unemployment was less than 5% and that

Jon's hilarious. He's been claiming the economy is in the crapper
constantly
since at least 2002.


I can't wait until we have a (by the Democrat definition) 'recovery.' My
business is immensely prosperous now--it should be off the charts then.

No..ythere will be socialized medicine and you will retire and remember
the good old days...


Not interested in socialized medicine, but what do you think should be
done about the 47 millions currently without healthcare ins and the
millions more without adequate ins?


Contained within those numbers are the thousands upon thousands who
receive Medicaid and who also are never refused treatment at hospitals
emergency rooms...yes...there is a problem with health care in this
country...and it is not limited to just the poor...my solution? We
should get rid of health care insurance entirely and go back to paying
doctors out odf pocket...that way the industry would correct
itslef..there would always be charities, as before health insurance, to
pick up for those that cna't pay...I know the amounts that are spent on
our BCBS policy...we pay half out of pocket plus deductibles etc. There
is no way in current history that we spend that amount on "real" actual
health care...instead of paying out 9-12 K/annumto an insurance company
it couldgo into a specialized medical account..one NOT set up by
insurance companies like is currently ptacticed...the price of health
care would level out to where it is reasonable, litigation would stop
driving the prices higher and higher, doctors would no longer have to
order unnecessary tests for fear of litigation...arbitration would take
on a real and active role rather than using the jury system...
