Maybe if it was published by someone other than the LA Times, which I have very little respect for, I would put more faith in what these so called experts say. The fact is, any health care plan by a Democrat compared to a Republcan is going to be so far superior there will be comparison. Republicans just seem to hate people, except for their own precious hides and do not want most Americans to have decent health care. They proved that by ruining Hillary Clinton's plan for health care for Americans. Time and time again they attack Medicare and Medicaid and any decent bill for anything at all. Not enough enough money or so they say. Guess we could have had a pretty health care plan for the trillion dollars we are using to bail out crooked banks and corrupt Wall Street, or actually one and quarter trillion bucks counting the two and half billion McCain and Keating stole from Americans in the S&L scandal. These are Republican ripoffs.
It is a disgrace 40 or 50 million Americans have no health insurance coverage, while we spend half of our budget on building even more weapons and killing people in phony so called wars. If Obama does not become president, this country is truly screwed. For good!
