No, what's the name of it? (And I asked about the office she was *elected* to in 1992) Then what right did she have to make policy that would have destroyed the healthcare system for 260,000,000 Americans with insurance so that 40,000,000 uninsured could get access? and when DID you stop beating your wife? incidentally, 300,000,000 americans use energy....that dick cheney feels so deeply belongs only to the rich. 85% of this country is getting along just fine with the health insurance that they have, but the Democrats want to muck things up for them in order to benefit the 15% who are uninsured. Smells of socialism to me. And it stinks. If you want socialism, move to the EU. |

I found one poll that suggests health care cost is the country's biggest worry. http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=581677 Our health care system accounts for over 15% GDP. Funny, but those countries with universal health care have costs around 10% GDP, or less. That 5% puts us at a considerable disadvantage in the global market place. You may not have noticed, but many companies have. General Motors, for instance, has been expanding it's operations in Canada, while shrinking them here. Want to guess the reason? http://www.counterpunch.org/lindorff04192005.html but the Democrats want to muck things up for them in order to benefit the 15% who are uninsured. Smells of socialism to me.

If that is not controlled then you can forget about other plans. |

I know you want to claim the answer is "health insurance"...but the real answer is "unions". Once GM and Ford and Chrysler shut their factories here, and move them abroad, they'll be out from under the unions. And then, 10 years from now, you can bet that they'll open new union-free operations stateside again. |

Ever hear of the Canadian Auto Workers? They split from the UAW because they are more militant, and didn't like the UAW's give-backs. Oh, and just so you don't think I'm making this up, Google Rick Wagoner. He is the one who said health care costs are wrecking the US economy. |

One could wonder if someone with a bunch of stock and a huge bully pulpit could build up pharm stocks by touting a new, say, health plan! Then they could short it, and dump the plan down the river... hummmmmmm, someone could make a lot of money like that, maybe even a little over a million! |
