Ouch. And for social security - well good luck getting that investment back. No mean-ness intended, it just appears to be the reality of the system.

Yes, I realize that. But just because they already took an inch doesn't mean I should just go ahead and give them the whole mile.
I'm not saying healthcare doesn't need to be reformed, I'm saying that socializing it is not the right way to do it. I think that they should remove the restrictions on getting medical insurance from out of state, and they should be required to accept people with a pre-existing condition. The amount of competition would mean that they would have to have better services for less money. Putting the government in charge of anything is rarely the answer.
