I dont give a fuck about comparing GDPs.
The facts are clear that health care costs in the US have been rising at twice or three times the rate of inflation or cost of living for many consumers.
And the facts are clear that the health care costs of the growing number of uninsured are partly responsible for higher premiums for the insured.
I think health care reform will be the top domestic issue on the mind of many voters in the 08 election and I want to see how the candidates will address the issue. Bitching about Hilary's plan is not a solution.
Many of the candidates will be participating in webcasts sponsored by the Federation of American Hospitals and Families USA where each will have an opportunity to explain their position on health care reform in more depth. I'll be tuning on, starting with John Edwards today.
