Thread Name: BS: Republican response to Health Reform
Subject: RE: BS: Republican response to Health Reform
I agree 100% with the Post article...

I guess the thinkin' is that once on the books that the problems associated with cutting costs will come into play but...

... there is no assurance of that...

I mean, yeah, it's a start but a fitfull one at best...

I have said this over and over but will say it again... We ****will**** be revisiting helth care again and hopefully by then there will be anough people who really have internatlized the reality that we can not be a competitive nation until we get our costs down to those of our competitors... 17% of GNP for 2nd rate health care ain't gonna cut it... Formula fir disaster...

Single payer is the best answer 'cuase if the health providers know that there is only one girl at the dance then they are gonna have to dance with her...

But the Repubs, who calculated early that Obma was going to try to "change the tone" in Washington saw this as an opportunity to pounce on Obama and just be crybabies which along with corporate $$$ is proving to be just the ticket to get back to the big money...

But...

...the country has no other choice but to fix the cost problem of health care... That is if the government isn't too badly broken to fix anything, which is debatable...
