just calm down archie ...

it depends on what you include in the cost ... but in 2008 the cost was roughly $2.6 trillion ... 2009 is projected closer to $3 trillion. So lets split the difference and say 20%, or we can use your 17%.

That is still too much of the US economy that I would want controlled by the federal government. We obviously do not see the role of the federal government the same. Also how do you explain that 23 states have passed bills under the 6th amendment that would allow them to not accept a national program even if it passes.

Again, the point is that fixes are needed, but not a total overhaul or a government controlled system.

As for your comment about telling people about medicare ... who ever suggested doing away with that ... other than saying I would opt out today for SS and medicare, leave it in place. But that is another government run bankrupt system that is full of corruption.

As I was writing this, I just saw a news highlight that Obama stated today that he may be willing to "drop" the government option because it does not appear americans want this and it is getting in the way of contructive discussion.

Duh. Finally he has shown some leadership.
