Medical economists who criticize the plans of the two presidential candidates say that while Obama’s health plan is too expensive and disruptive, McCain’s plan won’t lower the number of uninsured Americans.



>Who exactly is the "they" who want to nationalize the medical industry? Fat chance of that. We all saw what happened in 1994 when the Clintons tried health care reform (a proposal that fell far short of nationalizing the industry). The dragon shot out a huge ball of fire and scorched the bejesus out of everything coming near its cave. It will be a while before anyone tries that again.

>Re the airline industry, I am not suggesting it be nationalized but it's a fact it has not done well since deregulation. They seem to be having a hard time making a go of it on their own. You could say the same of the auto industry.
>
>>The mortgage market has just about all nationalized, they want to nationalize the medical industry. I heard in a congressional hearing that the democrats want to nationalize the oil companies, and last, the airlines are in trouble so could they be next.
>>
>>>>>>>It could get worst than that. John McCain gets elected. He dies shortly after and Palin becomes your President. Be afraid... Be very afraid
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Or even worse - Obama and his 140 days of senatoral experience gets elected and starts driving financial policy!
>>>>>>
>>>>>As it stands now 'financial policy' is a competition in spending. One guy asks for $700B and many others say: No! It does not protect US taxpayers in adequate way. We should spend $800B and it will be much better (probably for taxpayers). I think that Obama experience fits nicely to this picture.
>>>>
>>>>It does sound that way. People should look at this as a preview of Obama spending style.
>>>
>>>I know you're worked up over all the financial stuff going on (aren't we all) but let's be reasonable here. How can you consider a financial intervention proposed by the current administration a "preview of Obama spending style"?
>>>
>>>Please understand I am not playing politics with this or blaming the Bush administration for the way they are reacting to the financial crisis. I think they are doing the best they can in a very difficult, fast moving environment. I'm just saying I don't get the attempt to link it to Obama in any way. His turn may come, but it's not here yet.
