Anything can. Disagree. Much of what gets debated is stunningly one sided if you toss out the emotion, errors, and unsupported opinion and look at things rationally and objectively. That there are folks who will argue the short side doesn't mean that the question "can be reasonably argued either way." Re the "general welfare," I think that a legitimate case can be made either way. I've been clear for many years on this thread... I support a single payer system. You may have many years on this thread but the two individuals with whom you were interacting don't. Given their short tenure and given that the immediate topic was the size and effectiveness of government, not health care, you may be the only one who was clear about or focused on your support for a single payer system. In any case, having supported it for many years hardly qualifies as "just pointing out that it didn't exclude my views on health care." "Just pointing out" suggests something that is both current and attached to the discussion in question. Actually, I have been here a long time and I didn't know that you were set on a single payer system. Your posts in recent memory seem flexible and receptive to different ideas.
