30. I believe in single pay healthcare
I think it's the only solution at this point.

People can't afford their own individual policies. Employers are struggling to pay portions for their employees. Doctors are spending too much time as debt collectors, and hospitals are charging others for the big chunk of people who have no insurance and won't pay their bills.

I was impressed by Carol M-B. I think she has the best solution. Single pay, and detack it from employment.

On the economic stuff, I don't know why people rely on their memory for things like economic numbers. Did the GNP go up or down the year before Clinton took office? Why argue about it. Just look up the numbers. I mean we're all on the internet. It's not that hard to do a search. Turns out the GDP had a pretty good year Bush's last year and grew at 2.7 %.
