Thanks, good information. I'd like to think that a corporate fascist gov't would actually produce something, once a decade at least, which benefits the people instead of corporations. Time will reveal all, as always.

<<Medicare has an advisory panel to proffer suggestions about more effective methods of delivering care. Say, research shows that $100,000 Medical Device X provides just as good results as $200,000 Medical Device Y.>> What if Device Y is not as good but it's cheaper? Don't you think the masses are going to get Device Y. Of course the politicians with their gold plated free plan will get whatever the heck they want and the citizens will be paying for it. Who runs these advisory panels? Oh yeah, some nameless faceless committee can make a better decision than the physician and patient can for an individual unique situation. Right. Besides, the taxes start quick and the supposed benefits start in 2014? The benefits will never arrive. And hopefully sometime after the 2010 elections, and certainly after 2012 the citizens will be able to reverse this non-American non-democracy mega-BILL.
