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.

I too don't care about the GDP comparisons. I care about what chips away at my disposable income and savings.
I'm of the opinion that a good portion of the uninsured that are causing the spike are illegals. I'd like to start there before addressing the rest of it.
