with any or all of your points and combined, they truly are the reason for this country's current sad economic condition. Unfortunately, there is NO clear-cut path out...every move is based upon hope, study and/or conjecture with no known or certain outcome. Will the new health care program further ruin this country's economic condition...time will tell. But if you look at the current state of Medicare & the Social Security system or pretty much ANYTHING that is run by our inept politicians, it doesn't look promising .

What I disliked about this whole health care issue was the complete arrogance of the Speaker of the House. To me, if I was a Democrat, her attitude would give me some cause for concern...but the bill passed.

We shall see...but did like your "opinion" as noted above!!
