We disagree profoundly. The issue has never been the quality of state-of-the-art health care. Which is not going to go away, BTW. The issue is that we have an unconscionable number of uninsured citizens, with even those of us who are insured being bitten harder with each passing year. The system we have now is a catastrophe. All the scare talk was engineered by those who are profiting from it.
