Steve, I'm running out the door right now to have lunch with a friend. I'll get back to you either this afternoon or this evening. Although I think we are getting close to an "agree to disagree" moment. I'll have more time to think about it later this afternoon.

<<<You are dreaming if you think any meaningful change in health care will be easy. It will make the Iraq war look like a cake walk. Who pays? >>> It is all about priorities. We have been through all this before on this thread about single payer universal health care. Every industrialised country has universal health care. It is something that has to be done. We have to make it more efficient. Leaving it alone is not an option. Nobody likes the system we have. We are spending more on healthcare than anyone else and yet 47 million people are uninsured. Now is the time to get it done.
