So those of you who consider yourselves 'conservatives' can stop crying now.

No President has the juice to take down Big Insurance.

It will take more than a Democrat president, which I doubt we'll have anyway.  It would need to get out of the House and Senate, assuming Democrats retain control of both.  They would need a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. 

Maybe I shouldn't be as worried about President Hillary . . . at least when it comes to her socialized healthcare plan?

You may be right. But how will we get out of a recession/depression without saving revenue?       Medical bills are a number 1 cause of bancruptcys.  Our insurance systems actually pays people to look for ways to deny your coverage.

The money we spend on the war in one year could pay for healthcare...even a fraction of it. :-\

Its going to take a drastic change in our policys to keep the USA above water.  We are killing ourselves and making ourselves weaker by trying to save the world.

Why should our firefighters from 9/11 pay $600 dollars a month for a prescription that he could get for a $1.00 somewhere else??

Well, I was partially correct.  He didn't take down Big Insurance.  He made them partners, so now we all pay.  :-\

Damn, damn, damn.
