Less expensive, too.

4. Well, when the President said we should have the same health care they get,
I didn't expect it to be a big play on words about _insurance_ premiums that are now mandatory...

So many details... I now side with people who say government can't do anything right. They make the over-complicated bureaucratic policies, by accident or by deliberate intent, and then fuck it all up.

Nobody expected more chicanery to be pro-corporate.

Will any of what was said tonight have any real effect?

Only if the President was serious about change we can all believe in.

5. Medicare was a 'from scratch' program
Within a year 90% of seniors were on it. Now it is one of the most popular health plan in the US.
