Some brave soul should put forth a plan to repeal Medicare/Medicaid. I'd love to see what the |
|
health industry and all those 'just say no' and 'it's socialism' groups would do. The insurance companies probably wouldn't care much, but all those service providers would go nuts. It would be great to hear from the GOP on the issue. Wonder what old Palin would have to say?

1. Rep. Weiner from New York did just that. |
|
And challenged other Congress persons to sign on if they were against govt. run health care. Google him and you can watch the video, I'm sure.

3. That would be like walking on a minefield. Republicans have been trying |
|
to get rid of these programs and privatize them for decades now and they would jump on the band wagon immediately. Considering that they can get shit legislation through in a Democratic Congress and Democrats can't. Thanks but no thanks.

7. That's a relief, but don't think it won't happen if they think there is |
|
a possibility they can push something through.
