First touches of red.

To create jobs like the WPA in the new deal is a good thing. Not going to have to worry too much about health care if the bridge you are going over to get to the doctor collapses.

I think that and building low income housing as FDR did and better education and civil rights and welfare from Johnson as an effort to lessen poverty are also a proper places for government. 

I guess my concern is when they go for individual rights for "my own good" lol is when I get upset.

Gun control, traveling papers like an id to get on a train, the Patriot act and free speech are examples.

Should the taxpayer pay for the person who cannot afford it?

Believe these people are not well off on the dole. MA will give a person 300 per month and federally funded food stamps at 200/month or so. About a weeks pay for many to last a month.

 In MA health care too.  Paid for by Medicaid(the taxpayer)

Health care is a proper places for the government to be. Most of the western world believes health care to be fundamental. Guarantees that forced care in any way is prohibited I think is right. It is still not 100% safe but better than nothing.

Believe that the current insurance companies manage the hell out of health care. Preexisting conditions and what procedures and what drugs they will pay for are being managed now.

It remains to be seen whether the public option will foster competition and lower costs. We pay for it regardless of the company or institution getting the premium.

The moral question is does the tax payer pay for the unemployed person. They do now in Medicare and Medicaid and most will retire to a government run program Medicare or perhaps a replacement for it brought about by this legislation.

I think the challenge is to pay for the "fundamental" universal health care while holding on to world class institutions. 

Rationing is a reality now. Can we improve it? I hope so. What concerns me is the possibility of places like the Mayo Clinic not being able to continue to provide the world class care.

Many of these institutions do it with donations. St. Judes and the cancer charities etc provide for much of the funding for that level of care and research.

I don't know the percentages but finding them out I think is important. I find it hard to believe that the current monopolistic insurance companies are providing that world class care.

Enough. A post that obviously I found interesting or this book of a comment would not have been written at Bob's.

Had fun :) writing this
Have a great holiday
