Michelle Obama thinks being America’s First Lady is ‘hell’

The health care bill is a start. Even if it's the worst piece of legislation imaginable the glory of it is the government now has to discuss medical care for everyone. If forcing people to buy medical insurance is a bad idea then the government will have to come up with a better idea. The point being it can't be ignored any longer. It's no longer a question of can/should everyone be covered. It's now a question of what is the best way. Meanwhile, the country continues to move in that direction.

As for the national debt it was increasing without medical coverage. Remember Cheney's infamous words regarding war with Iraq, "It was an option and we could afford it."

Both parties run up the deficit. It's time the money was spent on the citizens. Rather than question whether the government can afford medical care it's time to question if the government can afford other things, like war.

War is an actual function of government. The constitution gives the government the power to go to war. When the government reforms health care just to talk and not actually accomplish anything except wasting money you know that the government is getting to big. Its a historic piece of legislation that did nothing. Would anyone care about the lend lease act if it was all talk. If Lend Lease had make it more expensive for the British to get American weapons it would be consider a piece a junk just like health care. Lend Lease was a historic piece of legislation because America was supplying the countries facing axis agression not because America discussed that Hitler was dangerous.

You would be on to something if it werent for the fact that there were many superior options on the table, and the only reason they werent considered was because they werent a product of liberal ideology. The best Health Care Plan in this country is being used by Whole Foods, and another brilliant plan was submitted by the Brother of Jet Blues CEO.... , if our Leaders werent playing politics with the issue they would have jumped on these Models which emphasised self managed care. It would have given every American a reasonable affordable shot at excellent Health Care and It would have cost this country a third of the 800 bil dollar downpayment we layed out for what you have so accurately descibed as "the worst piece of legislation imaginable".
