(Which is fine, I'm one.)<br /><br />Though Fleming is right - the issue is care, not insurance. Insurance gave us the disastrous, uncompetitive system we have today. Reinforcing failure, through more insurance, won't fix it. In order for US companies & workers to be competitive with foreign peers who have national health coverage we need the same. Burdening US companies & workers with more insurance merely continues the status quo and solves little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123919364122433432.post-36600706946763250432009-11-07T12:53:56.409-07:002009-11-07T12:53:56.409-07:00Isn't the issue really good medical care for e...Isn't the issue really good medical care for everyone?

I think everyone residing within our borders should have health insurance at least as good as mine (which, by the way, I pay for every month). The issue is how to secure insurance coverage for those who can't or won't procure it themselves.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985877393196938045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123919364122433432.post-47069009721433718922009-11-07T10:35:40.972-07:002009-11-07T10:35:40.972-07:00Looks to me like he's on government health car...Looks to me like he's on government health care, but wants to deny it for others.<br />Other than that blatant inconsistency, may be worth a look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
