I have already accepted the real possibility of a Democratic President and Congress. I am already planning on getting "free" health care. Since I am getting older and not at retirement age, why not let some of you young healthy folks foot my bills.

ace, Huckabee claimed he went into politics to "bring Jesus Christ into government". How would you react if another candidate said he got into politics to bring some other deity into government?
The young healthy folks "foot your bills", now because the present, private insurer for profit system could not exist if it did not have a healthy base of premium payers who make no claims. A single payer system would be much fairer to those who are young and healthy, because now they subsidize the system and provide the profitability.
"The money" has to come from bringing taxes on the wealthiest one percent, back to an average of what they've been for the last fifty years. 50 years ago ace, income above the $400,000 annual thresh hold was taxed at 90 percent, and there was no $700 billion annual increase in the federal debt, as there will be this year.
Under the much more modest tax structure during the Clinton era, the annual federal debt increase reached a low of just $18 billion annually.
All of John and Cindy McCain's wealth and most of their income can be traced to the criminal enterprises described here:

.....how much should they, and hundreds of thousands of others living on "dirty money", be taxed, ace? Who do you think financed the campaigns that put the puppets in office who reduced the tax on income above $400,000 from 90 percent then, to below 40 percent now?
