I still disagree with you on that. I don't think it's a matter of luxury vs. essential because you can argue that everything is essential. But you can categorize things in terms of preventive, basic, specialized, catastrophic, and "life-extending" and create a system similar to car insurance. But all of it will still depend upon the crux of the problem - how do you deal with someone in a life-threatning situation.. Today, no hospital will turn someone away who's about to die - and that's a key driver of cost. Who is going to say to the American public - we need to let those people die to make health care financially solvent? No republican nor democrat will ever do that.
i'm generally a "throw the bums out kind of guy." and while we're at it, let's throw Bum's son out as well, but i guess that's a topic for another thread.
wonder how you'd go about that? would there be a review committee, or something, that might analyze each case and decide which is essential care, and what's simply unjustifiable/affordable, and deny that care to the patient?
Does that mean you are a Cowboys fan? I will tolerate Tea Partiers but being a Cowboys fan is inexcusable.

Krauthammer explains best why this attack by the white house is so pathetic: <object width='320' height='260'><param name='movie' value='http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/flash/player.swf'></param><param name='flashvars' value='config=http://mediamatters.org/embed/cfg2?id=201010110052'></param><param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'></param><param name='allownetworking' value='all'></param><embed

nuts. hot working. here is a link: http://www.thepoliticalcarnival.net/2010/10/video-foxs-krauthammer-accuses-obama-of-making-an-appeal-to-xenophobic-fear-with-attacks-on-chamber-of-commerce/
Krauthammer is a neocon lap dog that says what his handlers tell him to say. The Chamber is going to drop $75 million dollars on the midterms. Where are they getting that kind of cash?
They are doing it anonymously(made clear by the article). Why do you need a name. You have proof that many democrats don't support these attacks. If I give you a name, you'll just demand that Democrat's license plate number as well. I should just do what David Axelrod does and demand you show proof that all democrats support the attacks on the chamber of commerce.
