truth is, the government only added regulation where it was needed and attempts to remedy the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in this country through insuring those otherwise denied or unable to get insurance
I think the problem is the words government regulation in what has been private enterprize. The leading cause of personal bankruptcy is people spending money they don't have trying to keep up with the Jones's.
their workers will miss less time from work for being ill.
I think at this point that is purely speculation.
give people what we deserve and want.
That's one of my biggest problems with your well thought out post. "Give people". Why should goverment give people anything other than services? Also, the word deserve? Why should people who don't work and pay toward the prize, take part of it?
i say let it get in the budget and if it is a debacle, then we can all say "told ya so!"
I believe that is exactly what Mr. Obama is asking us to do. Here's the problem though. I get no satisfaction out of telling someone I told you so when their idea is outrageous as this one is.
Allow an "old man" to digress. When my son was little he touched the stove and burned his hand. I felt bad because he was hurt and I had failed to instruct him not to do it. When my daughter was small I told her, " don't touch the hot stove. Better to learn by facts until the idea is proven.
stay classy old man, our generation has ya covered. I think my reply is classy or at least well presented. As for covering me? Don't worry about me. I'm nearer the end than the beginning and I have enought to cover myself. I do however worry about my kids and their kids.
Anxiously awaiting your response Liberal. This topic is ripe for great debate just as it is being debated in the hallowed halls of Congress.
Your serve. Chime in anybody else. This is good stuff.
