Anyone could buy into the state's medicaid program which was called Tenncare. The problem was that the only people that bought into the program were people that couldn't get healthcare any other way because of pre-existing conditions. The program could not be sustained because the people who needed it were the sickest and the healthy folks did not need to buy in. Within 3 or 4 years, the state was broke and had to dis-continue the program and everyone, including the very sick were thrown out. The only people that were left covered were those with children. Like Hillary said, it only works if everybody is in it and pays in. Alot of sick people were left to fend for themselves and the end of the program was decided by a Democrat Governor, Phil Bredesen.

At first people project whatever they want in a leader onto him but when they see he is all things to everybody (a flip-flopping, lying panderer), he becomes everyone's worse political nightmare.

HEY ASSHOLE — nobody reads this cut and past — we skip past the obamabutt crap.

It is true, McCain is both for and against ethanol. He opposes <strong>corn-based</strong> ethanol and supports <strong>cane-based ethanol</strong>, and I think he might support cellulose-based ethanol but I am not sure. McCain has been against subsidies for corn because he thinks corn-based ethanol cannot be efficiently produced and it would drive food prices up. I believe he supported the import of cane-based ethanol from Brazil and other countries. It is cheaper than oil and is pretty clean. I am still trying to learn more about his energy policy. At least he has a plan unlike Obama. He just blames us for eating too much and keeping our thermostat on too high. I think McCain is gathering more information each day so he can improve his energy plan. Exactly. It is true, McCain is both for and against ethanol.

And out of those 47 million people without
health insurance, 12-15 million are
illegal immigrants who Obarfme wants to
“give them the exact same coverage I receive
here in the Senate”.

That is a “misspeak”. The 47 million number does not include illegal immigrants, or the millions of others with plans so basic that they are worthless.

The court will have to appoint a public defender or postpone until he can arrange for another attorney. He can file a complaint with the Bar Association, but lawyers are good at covering their asses. I don't know if what he charges against Obama is true or not, but he was definitely set up at his press conference. The National Press Club could not afford to refuse him the right to present his case because they would have been accused of violating his First Amendment Rights, but someone arranged for the sheriff to be there to arrest him afterwards.

How long have you had free at the point of use universal health care? Oh you do not. We spend less per capita on healthcare than the US and have better health outcomes. For serious or major operations there are no waiting lists. For non serious operations there are waiting lists of no more than 3 months. There are no endless forms and everyone has 24 hour access to a GP - free. There are charges (for prescriptions and dental treatment), but the poorest and pensioners do not pay them. There is a flourishing (and much cheaper than the US) private health care system. Actually very little is wrong with the NHS – now in its 60th year.

It would be sad if we let another industry die in this country. It really is about our economic and national security as well as the progress of human understanding about the world we live in. Listening to his national service speech, I wonder why he thinks only that type of labor helps the world or mankind? Aerospace contributes a lot to society. Good point about all the jobs.
