But this isn't what the bill is proposing. It isn't simply spending for the heck of it.

And even China is working towards getting health care access to their rural poor through reform and a co-op system.

Isn't the U.S. starting to fall behind when it comes to health care access? If the nation keeps humming and hawing over this, you'll never have anything remotely resembling accessible health care or universal health care.
