A says socialized health care is good.
B says socialized health care is bad.
A and B agree to disagree.
It sucks.
Biff talks about his new vacuum.
It sucks.
As a Medicare beneficiary, I have to say I’m happy w/ my coverage for the first time ever. Got cancer in my mid-20s while living in London – moved back here to be w/ family & it cost me literally hundreds of thousands over the years – even w/ doctors waiving their fees. Took me over 20 years to pay everything off. Then I was uninsurable but finally got some coverage in my 40s. Last year I was paying $1100. per month for a n.v.g. HMO. This year, w/ Medicare, I pay a tenth that & get eyeglasses, various annual check-ups w/ no need for clumsy referrals & feel quite secure w/ what is available.
I do believe tort reform should be a part of any new plan – litigation & malpractice insurance are real drains on the system in many ways.
I firmly believe that if the far right hadn’t done so much scare-mongering, the country is really pretty much in agreement about what should come about. But witness those poor misguided souls who affirm Medicare while screaming about keeping gov’t uninvolved – that kind of shrill, uneducated ranting is the true cause of the inability to come up w/ an agreement.

Heeeeey, is that another jab at my acronym?!
I guess Arkady’s 2:49 post was the sum up of all the posts.
Thanks!
Everything was fine until I read about the Truffle fondue…oh brother!
Looks delicious, and I would order it in a restaurant, but I won’t be making that at home DIBS.
jester, in what threads are you doing battle? I’ve had no time to read anything today. I’m just looking at the pictures.
