I agree it's expensive. I don't agree that we should hold up making health care reliably available to all of our citizens. If you're worried about the cost, take it out of the Defense budget, increase the ridiculously low royalties to mining and oil companies on federal lands, and double the taxes on incomes over $2 million. <br /><br />All this pharumping over health care seems horribly misguided to me. We know we need to do it, and we know we're going to have to pay for it. Let's stop wrangling and get on with it.Bob Schillingnoreply@blogger.com
