Hey...I was discussing this stuff in HS; nothing in the discussion has changed since 1960, except death panels for Sarah's kid.

I am done. As I said most of it is unintelligible. You are forced to reference other laws, etc. In the end I still cannot tell you what my health care will look like after the bill is passed. There are simply too many decisions that will be made by unelected boards, commissions and other administrative bodies. Most of the emails I have seen debunking so called myths, leave this information out. For example, it is true that the bill does not create so called "death panels". But as far as I can tell there is nothing to preclude a board or commission from enacting regulations that will deny treatment to someone because they are too old, or too young, or disabled or whatever. In the end we all want the best health care, but no one wants to pay for it. We expect to pay 1950 prices for 21st century medicine. lj
