The Dems want us to turn over health care to the Federal government which, they argue, will do a better job than the current system. Health care incidentally is 19% of the total U.S. economy. Let's take a look at some other Federally run programs to get some idea of how it might go. Hmmm...
"Bottom line: Taxpayers are now on the hook for a record $59.1 trillion in liabilities, a 2.3% increase from 2006. That amount is equal to $516,348 for every U.S. household. By comparison, U.S. households owe an average of $112,043 for mortgages, car loans, credit cards and all other debt combined.
Unfunded promises made for Medicare, Social Security and federal retirement programs account for 85% of taxpayer liabilities. State and local government retirement plans account for much of the rest." www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-05-28-federal-budget_N.htm
Still think it's a good idea and they will do better with health care? I'll pass, thanks.
