[Sighs] opportunity lost. we -need- health care for all. what do we get? lobbyists moving their puppets. Yo, morons in Washington DC, just expand Medicare and be done with it.

This article:

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200909/health-care

does a pretty good job of laying out what the *real* problem with American health care is. (And why expanding Medicare would be just about the worst thing you could possibly do.)

Unfortunately Obama's plans from day one have always been about finding ways to shoehorn more people into our already completely broken delivery system. The whole thing, baby, bathwater, the works, needs to be thrown out and *nobody* has the will to do it.

Medicare? Nooooooooooooooooooo! Expand the VA hospital/health programs to include civilians.

Any already-existing health agency is fine with me. I am aghast that the gov't is likely to make yet -another- agency over this.
