Even though It's not an enumerated right given to the Fed govt my selfishness and compassion for people would allow me to support the taking of hard earned taxpayer money to subsidize the cost of a program that would help pay for some kind of coverage people could BUY for one under some age and over some age but only partially not completely. Remember though that slightly under 50% of people here pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits so there will come a time when net tax payers will feel like saps and will maybe stay home instead of working everyday for someone else's benefit.---------------

I too think moderates have no fire in the belly. I think the just want to get along. What I'm looking for is someone on my side that will clearly spell out what I believe in. IMPO
