I blame Hillary, of course, for trying to bite off the whole loaf when Americans are incrementalists. But a close look at her plan shows it really did try to get all americans into "alliances" that would then dicker using market forces with insurance companies. Only the poor would have been govt subsidized. In fact, her plan was far less socialistic than the proposal made by RICHARD NIXON (caps = emphasis not shouting) and foolishly turned down by Melvin Laird. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
