    Sounds good. And this is part of the Health Plan that you oppose. So would you agree then, that there are health care reform issues that are doable and make sense if they were broken down into simple steps with achievable goals?

    Just because you want to pay for something doesn't mean you are going to get it.

    For some reason you think life is fair. It's not.

    And yes I didn't spell forgotton correctly.. WHO GIVES A ****.

    Exactly, and business has a prime responsibility to make money. Government has a responsibility to regulate business so that it is in the best interests of the country. Failure to regulate the finance industry resulted in the economic crisis. Failure of government to regulate health care is leading to a health crisis. What is vital is a proper balance between private industry maximum profits and national health care minimum requirements.

    This isn't about health insurance for the poor as much as you want to make it so. It's about affordable middle class health care,too. If the insurance industry wants to work without government regulations, then they are going to have to find a way to insure us all on their own. It's the American way.

    I just don't want the baby thrown out with the bath water.

    What I oppose is Obama and the Democrat left wanting to pass a HC plan, any plan; not to help Americans, but because of the historical significance. S-l-o-w d-o-w-n. Stabilize the economy, lower the deficit and get people working. Then, let's see if we can do something about the high cost of health care.

    Blah. Regulation is the problem not the fix. Doing more of the same = more of the same.

    Don't try to imagine what I think, junior. What I SAID was that I think insurance industry policies are unfair.

    Damn, another pragmatic and moderate suggestion. Did you take your meds this morning or something?
