Inode, > Yet, when asked whether they are happy with their current health care, 85% of Americans say they are. I'd sure like to see a link, since that doesn't jibe with what I remember, i.e. most Americans favoring universal health care. That suggests that either Americans are unhappy with their health care, or they think they can get the same quality for less. Tenchusatsu

Real estate selloffs happen every now and then. That's the nature of markets. Glad to know that the single most critical spark responsible for the financial crisis is not O's fault. Well, news for you, the housing crisis is still raging and certainly not solved, TARP or not. Yet, when asked whether they are happy with their current health care, 85% of Americans say they are. So, what is the big crisis? Where did it come from? Why are we rushing to throw out the best health care system in the world? You wouldn't understand. You are not wired to think of anyone but yourself. And that does not begin to address the cost issue. Uninsured adults are 25 percent more likely to die prematurely than adults who do have insurance. Patients who have serious conditions such as heart disease or cancer face risks of premature death that are 40 percent to 50 percent higher. —Institute of Medicine Al
