Thread Name: BS: US Health Care Reform
Subject: RE: BS: US Health Care Reform
No matter, bb...

When the automobile came into existence there were nay-sayers who wouldn't ride in them because they *thought* (haha) that they were either evil or, like their daddies told them, that people would die if they were subjected to long periods of speeds greater than 28 miles per hour???

Then the nay-sayers said that Social Security would bankrupt the country... Same with Medicare... Same with, same with, same with...

Problem is that that is exactly waht nay-sayers do... They are always looking for calamity and chaos...

I'm not saying that this bill is perfect... It isn't... The insurance fat cats still purdy much got their way but, like Howard Dean, if there is that much opposition form the nay-sayers then there must be something good in it so I'm willing to give it a chance... One thing for sure is that the US economy cannot be competetive if it continues to spend 17% of it's GNP on health care...
