I prefer a system in which most people get the best. Obama wants a "fair" system in which nobody, barring an elite few with their hands on the levers of wealth and power, gets the best, or even gets anything at all. This has always been the problem with Communism. Rather than bringing about a paradise of perfection, it brings about a hellish equality of outcome, with everyone suffering equally. As for you, personally, I hope sincerely that your treatments continue to be successful in staving off your cancer. And I also sincerely hope that you never find yourself in a bed next to Kennedy or Ginsberg. That kind of proximity is a thought too terrible to contemplate. ;) George,

In my opinion, it's a power grab, straight and simple. That said, any government health plan that doesn't offer the citizens the _same_ conditions that are enjoyed by Congress and the government workers is one that should absolutely be off the table. One plan for your common citizen, and another for Government employees??? sure sounds like the USSR party apparatchik deal to me!
