I have said I'm willing to give Obamacare a try if safeguards are put in place. Since it's billed as a money maker, should it fail to do so and hit maybe $5 billion in loses we need an escape plan less add another huge slice to a pie already full. We can't make any bigger a pie.

Yes, we can. Easily. We can have the larger size of pie we had 15 years ago. Allow the Bush tax cuts to expire grows that pie significantly. Stop giving oil companies billions in subsidies to artificially prop up an outgrown industry that is an environmentally and physically complicated and expensive way to make energy. Close tax loopholes, and slightly decrease tax rates for everybody. Bring troops home, use far less expensive targeted drones and NATO (Kudos to the USA for killing Osama bin Laden's replacement in Pakistan!) The healthcare industry is 16% of "costs" in our country, a huge burden, which is why it must be addressed and not ignored - continue to make healthcare less expensive with greater coverage. Heck, just go to single payer Medicare for everyone and solve the problem once and for all. Allow the government to bargain for prescription costs.

We have one party that protects business, one party that protects the citizen, and one party that wants everyone to be on their own. We need less package deals, and more ala carte.

we need the government to stop functioning as a provider and focus on governing and protecting. We have a hole in our fence and instead of protecting the country by mending the fence the government is so lost it is protecting and feeding the invaders.

The sophistication and nuance of your political arguments stands alone, buddy

BTW, I do support Rahm's privatizing Streets and San. You're wrong. I don't "protect unions". I protect the right to unionize. Big difference.
