Here’s something that’s flying under the radar, states enacting single payer health care at state level. Single payer is the most cost effective system for health care.
“The New York State Assembly last year passed a similar resolution in support of HR 676 sponsored by Assemblymembers Ortiz and Gottfried. New York is the second state after Maine to have both houses of the State legislature pass a resolution in favor of a federal single payer health care program. Several other states have had at least one state legislative chamber pass such a resolution. The California state legislature has twice passed bills to create a state single payer system only to have it vetoed by Governor Schwarzenegger.” Google single payer at the state level, or single payer cost studies.
BTW, California’s AG Jerry Brown is running for Gov. in 2010 and is ahead in polls, he supports single payer and will sign the bill if it hits his desk. Once single payer finds a home in one state it will spread like wildfire. This is how Canada’s system got started not at the federal level. So support your state’s right to have single payer universal health care, HR 676 medicare for all.

How is this going to help the economy? Other nations that have universal health can under sell US products and have a healthier work force.
Countries looking to relocate plants if they have a choice of a universal care country or the US will choose universal care because of the cost savings.
Just because people can afford something doesn't mean it is a good product
Most people could afford to have their taxes doubled or salaries cut in half and still be able to pay for food and shelter. Doesn't mean it would serve the country well
Most people could afford a near lifetime of medical treatment if rates weren't based around insurance companies demands. You Liberals love to kill the free market

Why potentially ruin what people are happy with by a complete change over to cover 30 million people? (the left says 50 mil. the right says 15 mil.)
How are you going tax small buis. another 8% and expect to create jobs?
How are you going to cut 500 billion bucks from medicare over the next ten years when there are going to be 30% more people on medicare in the next ten years?

The Manchurian Teleprompter actually said 30 million like I did the day before the speech.I was splitting the diff between right and left.
He was leaving off crimigrants,leaving them uncovered before he left them covered, in a John Kerry sort of way.
