No matter...

The US spends 17% of it's GNP on health care compared to 9% by Germany and can't even rate in the Top 20 in terms of life expectancy... But nevermind that 'cause when you factor in the costs of our collectively piss-poor health care it drives up the costs of our goods and services and therefore costs US jobs because with those added costs in a competetive global market we just falt out cannot compete...

The Dems plan is at least a plan... Yes, it does force people to by insurance so that younger workers, who tend to have fewer claims. will be pitchin' into the pool... So the fuck what??? Horrors... We have mandatory insurance for autos so pleeeeeze don't say that this is illegal because it plainly isn't... Oh yeah, it also insures 30 t0 35M people who aren't inusred which will bring down costs because people won't wait until they are very sick (think expensive hospital stays here not covered that hospitals "eat" whiich drives up costs for everyone else)... Oh yeah, it also requires that a certain percentage of premiums go to paying claims??? Horrors, right???

The Repub plan... Ahhhhhh, none of the above... The only component of the Repub plan is to permit health insurance companies to sell in other markets... Hey, the Dem plan has this in it, as well, but if anyone thinks that this constitutes a national reform then pleeeeze PM 'cause I've got a bridge to sell you...
