I'd love to see a two party system with big government on one side and limited government on the other. The the big government types could fight over which flavor of nannyism they want, the bleeding-heart nannies vs. the moralistic nannies. Then MY representatives could work against them both. <g>

Polling consistently shows a majority want more health care benefits. What exactly is going on with health care in the US? No, that's not the right question. Let me put it this way: Canadians complain about their health care system. It's costly, inefficient , slightly antiquated in terms of cuting edge stuff. The reason is lack of competition. US folk complain about their health care: it's costly, inefficient, many folk can't apparently afford good coverage. My guess - the reason is a lack of competition. Canadian health care costs actually are slightly less share of GDP than US. So, what's the hiccup in the US system? I know what it is in ours.
