I know that the defenders of health care reform mean well, but I get a little nervous when junior senator from corrupted Chicago bites more then he can chew.
Shouldn't he be saving economy right now?
YES, existing health insurance system is far from perfect. Fees are high and need for regulations exist, but ........
BUT ... my co-worker&39;s 11 y.o. son was diagnosed with leukemia (blood cancer) and got immediate attention from doctors and all needed procedure. The boy is now recovering. My friend is $68K in debt, BUT the boy is now recovering.

US Postal Service doesn’t belong to US government; it becomes an independent agency of US government since 1971. Other word US Postal Service is a financially independent agency regulated by the government, but the government doesn’t run it.

If Postal Service doesn’t belong to the government howpeople working therebecome the government employee? Besides they have the own unions,not related tofederal employee unions

the US postal service is a good one... but what about merrill lynch, AIG, lehman brothers, WaMu... none of these organizations were run by the government

OK, I was mistakenly under impression that USPS is a federal job.
But you made my point with your statement anyway:
regulated by the government

Лина what's your point? Private businesses fail too, and they should indeed. Part of capitalism. But nobody asked me to invest with WaMu

my point is that a private business can be mismanaged just like a government run one... and if one doesn't have any kind of health coverage, a government regulated one, is better than nothing - no one is suggesting eliminating private insurance companies

I was gonna ask you for an example of well ran government business but let's skip pointless argument.
I am all for regulations in medical field. I spent more money then I care on medical bills because every time my daughter get a misquote bite my wife takes her to the doctors, but, here come the but, there is always a but, but if you want to implement something as big as health care reform please Mr. Obama take a minute or two and explain in general terms how it will affect an average Joe like me.
For all I know there are will be another unelected czar appointed, Blago of some kind, who will turn America into Canada.
Julia says 1 %. I would love to give up 1% of my income to help uninsured, but something tells me that its not gonna cut it.
Lina, do you believe we are talking 1 % here?
