Stay focused. You're talking to me and not the liberal universe.
No matter how it is "lumped" there should be a way to pay for it clearly spelled out. Neither party has done this well.
And I'm all for doing away with duplicate efforts. That's why I support a single healthcare system and not piecemeal efforts.
And no, government only has minimal effect on everything, including the atmosphere. I've shown you historically and through studies that everything you think has a major effect really doesn't. The only way to have the effect you speak of is for the government to actually control production. That is not the case here in the US.
You want a single healthcare system for 50 sovereign states and 312000000 people? That is impossible and you know it.
You really are very naïve believing the govt. has minimal effect on the economy. not sure where you got your education or what you do but you are out of touch with reality. Higher taxes affect personal income and investment capital and higher costs of employment affect jobs. That is basic logic, common sense and reality.
