Healthcare Reform

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, and I'm sure I'll get some agreement there. So it makes me worry a little when I can think up a "wrong" thing that is easy to implement, knowing that there are some pretty desperate characters out there

I don't want a public option. and the 47 Million uninsured is misleading, there are 47 uninsured now, but they break down thusly:

16 Million make over 75K and do not want insurance
8.4 million are 18-25 and tend not to buy it, or work jobs that offer it.
12.6 million are Illegal Aliens.
9.4 are between jobs and temporarily uninsured
8 million are children are not signed up but covered by parent's plan

So we are getting railroaded to socialism for the sake of far less million. And before you go off on how I maybe over reacting by pulling out the S word. The costs are going to balloon, we will have regulations that will "frown" upon free choices in unhealty lifestyles. the V.A. and Medicare show the government nto only can't manage t their costs and money well, but governments interface with civil society is usually poor, and ends up as a jobns program for untalented bureacrats rather than a service for the people.

Sorry, not buying.
