    Do you have a point at all? Answer some of my questions, I've answered yours.

    I don't accept that "another expensive government program that will only add to the massive national debt." It's not the ONLY thing that it does. You conveniently forget that it addresses many of the problems the unsustainable present system has, it insures millions of the uninsured, and replaces an expensive system that is full of waste and profiteering already.

    That's a laugh.

    Who say's I don't. I haven't, so don't try to speak for me. I've already said that there needs to be a balance between cost and benefits several times. You never address benefits at all, you just decry spending.

    Who say's it doesn't concern me? I just say that I'm not going to dismiss Obama's plan solely on the basis of cost projections, as you do. I want to see that balance between cost and benefits and the present system certainly doesn't provide it. Why do you want to maintain the unsustainable status quo? If you advocate balance, why do you dismiss the benefits entirely?

    Since the post natal care insurance ran out?

    The point is you nor Obama haven't answered anything.

    There is no plan, no explanation of benefits, no explanation of services. The cost you predict are based on what number of lives of what ages for what benefits / services.

    All talk no substance.

    They were probably GM right?

    Guess now instead of measuring sticks with age you want to measure with money..

    Even more fun!

    You can't read the plan or you are afraid of what you might read.

    Come back when you have a point of your own to make instead of just bitching in general.

    I'm waiting on an actual plan.. Not a promise to "cover everyone" or "reduce costs".

    Do I pay $20 per doctor visit? Do I get a deductible of choosing? Will it all be a flat rate no matter of age? What about pre-existing conditions?

    Those are pretty simple questions. Can you answer 1. Nope.

    And if can't answer 1 of those how in the world are you going to come up with a cost of this crap? YOU CAN'T

    And I'm not bitching in GENERAL, you are ranting in GENERAL. Give me some specifics.. Oh wait..

    But what if I don't want to pay for anyone else?
