yes Rahm no more stands for the average Democrat than Rove did for the average Republican - nor care about them anymore.

Chinu - I really am serious about dropping healthcare at this point. do it right or forget it.

as to priorities, most people I know are working class of either the lower-class or working-poor class and have no healthcare. never have and have no expectations of having it unless they make it to 65.

but - buying cheaper drugs from overseas would matter. of course... shhhhhhhh..... most of us do that anyways. don't tell the feds, please.

And pass something that makes it so you can't deny coverage for a pre-existing illness. not that that matters to the uninsured, but we'll back you on it.

things are as they have always been, Chinu. I feel for people who getting older and make good money and want healthcare and it is wildly expensive, but really... that just puts them with the rest of us unwashed masses. I really don't know what to say. stand up and shout for UFC, shout it from the rooftops - or let people say it some leftie radicals and forget the whole thing.

of course, me being an unkind sort, I would propose ending all healthcare for all people, except children and the disabled. end medicare for the elders. end all employ-based programs. no healthcare for anyone except disabled and children (even the unkind are human to a point). and then let us see what Americans decide to do.

do you get healthcare with your job? you do realize that is paid for down the stream. it is no different than a union. I do not want to help pay for it. forget it. no healthcare for any but the very young and the disabled. that's it.
