Bush and the Repubs criticize Kerry's healthcare plan....

[kentuck]

as being "big government" program and not workable. How can they criticize anyone on this issue when they have 5 million more people without coverage in just 4 short years. Whatever they are doing is certainly not working. They need to come up with a better plan and a better response. For them, it seems they are saying it is better to do nothing than take a gamble with another plan??

1. Well, of COURSE! They're not gonna praise it! It's their job to

criticize it. And it's Kerry's job to criticize Bush's....oh, wait, Bush doesn't HAVE a health care plan.

2. they could have insured all americans for less than they have

spent in iraq - so the money is there - just needs to be re allocated

less salary increases for congress for the next 10 years would be nice too

They're just lying and scaremongering. Yeah, Kerry's big government, but someone who wants to get their hands on my womb is for "freedom."

4. Meanwhile, back in reality...

According to Wednesday's Financial Times: "Motor Industry signals interest in Kerry's healthcare proposals."

Article (no links, sorry) said: "Motor industry executives and advisors to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry have met to discuss Detroit's growing interest in healthcare proposals that would subsidize catastrophic medical costs. ... "Ironically, it is the Democrats that best understand that there is a competitive global market in healthcare," said one auto executive. "We are losing that competition."...A Bush-Cheney campaign official said: "I could imagine there are some companies that find the idea of shifting their healthcare costs onto the federal government an attractive proposition."
