"White House wields health report." Within which, the official declares "action," the time for reform is "now" and other rallying cries.
I ask, why does the change have to be so drastic? The reason people are spending so much on insurance is because of the bloated system it already is. I have only scratched the surface in my knowledge of governmental restrictions/laws in the health insurance business, but there is no doubt at all that government policy has constricted the industry into what it is today. An expansion of Medicare would only mean more government intrusion into a system it has already screwed up. "Reform" just means turning the knob up one more time, until we hit 11, adding more and more in the blind hope that the people before our time didn't do the "right thing" or didn't have enough funding. I would like to see a true reformation and stream lining of the system. Now there's a New Years wish for you.
This whole health care bill thing is merely demonstrating that congressional democrats view themselves as our philosopher kings. We know best, they say, Just leave it to us. Self interest no doubt plays a role as well and it can only do that in a system such as the one we have and more so in the one most of our representatives hope to create.

ah...but the reason that the congressional democrats view themselves as philosophers is because they have been allowed to do so...by the majority they hold. the conservatives did the same thing in the years past... it might be much more fair to say that congress has a monopoly on the American dream.
