Default Re: Affordable Health Care Plan

Social Security is a mess, Medicare is a bigger mess. We all agree with that. If I remember correctly it was in 1964 that LBJ was able to get it pass in congress the Medicare law, even that I am a Republican (and will die the same) I honor this president for getting that law passed. It took another 30 years to have the Drug coverage added to the medicare, guess the maligned president that pass it. European countries have free socialized medicine which they pay with tremendous taxes. No matter how much we complain, we have one of the lowest individual taxes. And most important the right to choose.
At the speed congress moves it will take another 25 years to do something about it, therefore we dont have to worry, maybe there are no taxes or insurance to think about on the other side, because we will all be there when the mess is fixed.
