"If you want something to complain about in Mr. Gore's (economic) program, it's those tax cuts. For one thing, each cut gets touted twice - once as a tax break, then again as a part of a program to promote truth, justice and the American way. And it is an understatement to say that the tax breaks are complicated. As best I can figure, they are targeted on a middle-income widow with many children, all about to enter college, who does not receive health insurance from her employer, is enrolled in a training program, drives a fuel-efficient car and is about to inherit a farm. But I'm not sure I got it right." - Columnist Paul Krugman, New York Times, 9/10/00 Krugman is also a liberal economist, btw...

Big HMO's do want to decline coverage at will. If you had a pre-existing condition you'd find that out fast. Health care has gone downhill in American over the years except for those who can afford the very-high prices. Soemthing should be done, has to be done. At least Gore and his camp are trying hard. Health care is one area (like education) where the government needs to take charge to a degree.

That's the revolving door for media consultants and lobbyists. Don't you know? Why would Bush market himself to cross-over Dem's but hook up with a right-wing VP, who is only a heartbeat away from the Presidency if Bush is elected? Simple. To win. Can you spell p-o-l-i-t-i-c-s. I could point out that the apparent inconsistency, but why? Ron, I'm sure that there is equivalent resume cross-over on the Bush team. You've gotta find something considerably more shocking than that to get a rise here.
