I don't get it. Health care is approaching 20% GDP. It's
unsustainable. And what has the Party of No suggested? Nothing.

I may be wrong here, but if I were Obama, I'd be marshaling my party, and
passing health care reform without the Republicans. They don't want to
play, let them wither on the vine.

I agree. Foch the GOP.

Not worth considering. It's from the FauxNews WSJ, it's political, and
therefore it is the usual right-wing horse****.

Except, I don't believe we can allow this health care system to continue
much longer. It's approaching 20%GDP now, and in 2050 is expected to
reach 33% GDP. If Obama fails this time around, it's unlikely that he
will make another attempt. This problem has been building for several
decades, I think, this is our best shot at it.

Can't refute his ideas, huh? Like the rest of the liberals, attack
something else.

His ideas? Those ideas have been around for years.

• Repeal all state laws which prevent insurance companies from competing
across state lines.
I believe John McCain was running on this last election. If you remember
banks were under the same restrictions until relatively recently. How
did that work out? More competition or less? Around here, the local
community banks were gobbled up, and we were left with a few "too big to
fail" types.

• Repeal government mandates regarding what insurance companies must
cover. Translation, give me your money, we ain't covering squat.

• Enact tort reform to end the ruinous lawsuits that force doctors to pay
insurance costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Canard,
malpractice settlements add less that 1% to the cost of health care.


• Equalize the tax laws so that employer-provided health insurance and
individually owned health insurance have the same tax benefits. A better
question, why the corporate welfare in the first place?

• Enact Medicare reform. Gee, that's helpful. How? Look at the vitriol
about health care reform, something everyone knows is needed. Now this
guy wants to **** off all the seniors? Yeah, that will work.

• Finally, revise tax forms to make it easier for individuals to make a
voluntary, tax-deductible donation to help the millions of people who
have no insurance and aren't covered by Medicare, Medicaid or the State
Children's Health Insurance Program. Tinkle down, I mean trickle down at
it's finest. We were talking health care reform. This guy is out to
lunch. Obviously, too much tofu.



And your proposal that would resolve the problems and make everyone
whole and happy is?


Go to a boating newsgroup and post daily crap about how anything and
everything conservative is good and anything and everything liberal is
bad????

You are probably right. I simply have a problem with folks who go for a
government solution without considering measures that do not involve
unimaginable public debt and increased taxes forever. The Swiss have an
effective program that doesn't involve public funds at all, except to
regulate. A number of other options are not being considered because the
power-hungry Congress and Dims generally have their minds set in concrete.
Opposition is met with derision, rather than seeking common ground.

I visited East Berlin before the walls came down. I watched people
lined up to buy a loaf of bread, or a couple of potatoes. I went into
the stores which had fancy optics and cameras in the windows, only to
see empty shelves on the inside.

no one here is a socialist, sport. but, unfortunately, some delusional
folks like you are radical right wing extremists


There were two classes, the rulers and everyone else.

just like the state that the GOP envisions...

Shove your socialism up your ass, along with your friggin' whining.
