First of all Archie thank you for asking an excellent and civil question. I think a big problem we have in the area of discourse is the imprecise use of language (a bipartisan problem for sure) and that's why I believe we should stick with the actual definition of words. What I would call a Japanese style social insurance system (were it enacted in the U.S.) is three things: unconstitutional; a first step toward the utopian dream of socialized medicine; and a definite step in the wrong direction in terms of the quality of care in the U.S.

All three of these are my opinion and you can of course disagree. The first is based on the actual words in the Constitution and the writings of our founders, not to mention the government's tenuous argument about the commerce clause. This will be sorted out by the Supreme Court and not you or I.

The second is based on the words of those that passed the law about this just being a step toward a single payer system which means quite frankly that it is that much closer to socialized medicine.

And finally, we only need to look at the quality of care in European countries and the rationing to know there is a better way to go. But Dems recognize that the way to eternal reelection is to have everyone dependent on some form of government-controlled access to health insurance be it single payer or true socialized medicine.

Again Archie, all these are my opinion from a fiscal conservative viewpoint. I suspect you see it differently and that's OK with me....as long as you promise never to vote again. :-)
