Thanks for posting that article. I think it is really scary. I hope there is something left of America by the time the Democrats figure out how to win the presidency again. It seems like everything is being dismantled very quickly for the sole purpose (follow the money) of fattening the wallets of big business everywhere. I guess the reason the Bush administration is going to pay for erectile dysfunction drugs for Medicare recipients is because it profits big drug companies who contributed mightily to his campaign, even though it seems philosophically opposed to this idea at first glance. I thought this was a good paragraph in your article: "Critics say the Republican approach is really an attempt to shift the risks, massive costs and knotty problems of healthcare from employers to individuals. And they say the GOP is moving forward with far less public attention or debate than have surrounded Bush's plans to overhaul Social Security." This is really the stealth presidency. It doesn't seem like anyone can do much to stop it, either, since Republicans have a majority in Congress.
