       RS>> Yeah, stick with the GOP plan.               RS>> "Die quickly."               EH> I see you subscribe to the Grayson school of        EH> misinformation. Al Grayson lost his House seat for a reason.               The real GOP plan is Die Quietly.               EH> The GOP plan is to make it possible to buy insurance across        EH> state lines, making it easier for people to set up personal        EH> medical savings accounts, tort reform to reduce frivolous        EH> and overpriced lawsuits, and reducing government        EH> interference with individual decisions.               All of which does zero good for the uninsured, who are        predominatly the working poor.               What good are Health Savings Accounts to those who no money to        put into it, and don't pay enough taxes to benefit from tax        credits?               You can already buy insurance across state lines. What they want        is to make the lowest state standards the national standard. For        congress to mandate all states allow insurance at the lowest        standard is a major usurpation of states rights.               Tort reform is just a way to save money for the insurance        companies. Until they will tell you how much money frivolous        lawsuits actually cost this country it's all a fraud. Their real        intention is to limit legitimate lawsuits.               Oh, and countries with national health care don't have our        malpractice problems, without tort reform. Most malpractice        suits are to cover future medical bills for the malpractice.        Since National Health care guarantees coverage, there is no such        cost burden.               The majority of Americans support national health care. Most        even support Obamacare, with limited reservations. Most just        want it tweaked, not abolished.                            BOB KLAHN bob.klahn@sev.org http://home.toltbbs.com/bobklahn              ... Cicero in a sushi bar: "O tempura!
