Thread Name: BS: US Health Care Reform
Subject: RE: BS: US Health Care Reform
Well he did say there is a lot of waste spending etc. in Medicare and Medicaid and that is where the money would come from; NOT get rid of them or take away benefits, just tighten up the ship, so to speak.

Booing Bush, en masse, is a bit different from one voice yelling out "you lie" and, also has historical precedent, I dare say.

I kept getting a visual in my head of the scales of justice...weighed down the most with the amount he said we've spent on Iraq and Afghanistan with the lighter side being what he says health care reform will cost. THEN, I reversed the image..better perspective and something I believe can happen.
