    well, i would have to be President. Would you vote for me if i ran with all of those things as the base of my campaign?



    my point is

    What this country needs, and what the gov't thinks it needs are completely opposite things.

    Making the Gov't larger in order to accomplish a reform of HC is just plain retarded.

    What about the Dec. of Independence ?

    What happened to all the fundamentals this country was built on?

    Where did they all go?

    We are in the stages of a complete Gov't takeover of everything any American ever valued. The sad part of it, people are too stupid to realize it is happening and/or are ok with it.

  2. we need reform so there will be competition. adding 30 million paying insured is a good thing. removing pre-existing condition is a good thing. Finally insurers have to actually compete and not raise rates 20% EVERY YEAR. wish I had 20% every year compounding my money.

  3. like i said, the only way to achieve your principle is secession. Texas, NV and others are Libertarian state and should be secede from the U.S. California, NY, IL, MI, UT, AZ, and others are the people who wants gov to control their lives.

    Therefore, you should promote secession and splt the U.S in half like the civil war in the 1860s We have many generals like Robert E Lee now

    Social Security has been a great success in preventing abject impoverishment in old age or disablement. The program is efficient and has worked out exactly as envisioned when first adopted. It has been completely self supporting via the separate social security tax. It will require only minor tweaking to take into account changing demographics to make it secure into the foreseeable future, if done now and not put off.

    The problem social security faces has nothing to do with any defect in social security itself. The problem now faced is that the money the government has borrowed from the S.S. trust fund can not be paid back to the fund by the government from current revenues without significant cuts in current spending. This is not a fault of social security.

    Medicare, admittedly has not worked as well, mainly because medicare consists of government payments on your behalf to a Cartel. This is a far cry from the efficiency and soundness of social security which is sound and 100% controlled by the government .

    and as i said it is not sound. Why?

    Because the govt borrowed from it bec they run it. So they can do what ever they want to do. They cant pay it back because they are broke.

    And let me guess, you think this gov't healthcare is a good thing dont you?

    How on earth can a man believe that insurance companies should not be allowed to deny coverage for an existing condition.

    Shit it shouldnt be long before we are legally allowed to take loaded dice to the casino.

    Fixing HC in the USA would be hugely detrimental to the economy for a few years. Maybe even worse than the recession.

    But here is how you do it.

    1. do away with the tie between insurance and regular non emergency healthcare.

    2. Do away with the tie between employment and health insurance.

    3. provide for goverment run FINANCING for the health care cost of the poor.

    Bingo, five years or so of economic adjustment and the healthcare problem is solved.
