where I partially corrected my statement. I know well the tragic cost to those people and wasn't trying to be flippant, as it breaks my heart and has for eight long years, that we have been unable to stop it. I should have explained it more though, it was a response to 'paying taxes'.

Yes, we are arguing over how to get there ... my objection mostly is to mandatory premiums which, if implemented will be a real hardship on millions of people while further enriching those who care nothing about life, certainly not enough to let it interfere with their profit margins. I know Obama was against them during the primary, except for children. I liked his plan then.

I can't pretend to like something I never liked just because I like the guy who is doing it now. I didn't like Romney's plan, it would be hypocritical of me to say I suddenly changed my mind because now we have a president I support.

I know we can't get everything we want, but I think we should be getting more than is being offered. If you aim for the sky, you might hit a tree. But if you're only aiming for a tree, well that's how I feel.

Always enjoy your posts, btw. :-)
