Todd, it boils down to this. You think it's going to be a good deal. I don't. I'm convinced that I and most average working stiffs who pay for medical/dental insurance presently will be paying more, not less for the same coverage. I don't see how it can be otherwise. if the "new plan" picks up the indigents.

Have you thought about how long you will wait for an appointment with the sudden influx of new patients? Could truly be an "adapt or die" situation.

Before KK jumps on the moral highground to play King of the Hill, I'm not rejecting the idea of caring for the poor (never have...despite the KK version), but I have huge doubts that this "goodie" is going to be anything at all like it's being pumped up to be.

As far as thinking goes, KK.....you really should give it go sometime. I don't recall an original thought from you......just parroting what you read is not thinking.....do you suppose I read or heard somewhere the idea of taking profits from the private side to pay for services on the public side? I have no idea whether or not that is the plan, but it seems to me that it might be, based on Odudes statements. If you had gleened that from his gab, I didn't hear you mention it. Why? It wasn't printed somewhere? Or you were just waiting for the right moment? Timing is everything, right?
