Great.

So we'll have an insurance "cooperatives" which will have to go to the same health insurance scumbags who've been charging anywhere from 15-30% overhead, plus profits???

How's THAT gonna bring down costs????

Sure, sure- under a great deal of pressure and visibility, the pharmas and hospitals have "promised" to lower prices... leaving the health insurances off scot-free. And I'll betcha $100 that not even two years from now, with the dust settled and their high-profile receding, the pharmas and hospitals will go back to the same-old-same-old: gouging everyone for what they're worth. And we'll still be spending 20% of our GDP on health care!

All I wanted was to be able to BUY Medicare. To put my $$$ into a system which only has 3% overhead and NO profit. Now, I get bent over the barrel again!

Whozit, you are SOOOO stupid you can't even figure out that this is a disaster for you. Here- Let me give you a gun so you can shoot yurself in the foot. After that, I'll give you a knife to cut your nose off.

I didn't have anything to do with the mess they're making in D.C.

He's a President; Presidents aren't allowed to do "good" jobs- the better ones just do reasonably crappy ones. Bad ones like Bush do terrible ones. Therein lies the distinction.

Well, as the Republicans were so fond of saying - AFTER 9/11, that is - "at least he's kept us safe from the terrorists!"

I define terrible by how many needless deaths are caused, you seem to define it by how much economic insanity ensues. Our scales are different, obviously.
