Health Care Liberal and Conservative

Health care should be both a liberal and conservative mission.
Securing care for all Americans is the liberal part and containing the alarming rise in health care costs which fuels corporate costs and hurts in the global marketplace is the conservative part.
Republicans who say they can't support a trillion dollar bill already have in their 2006 prescription drug bill which will cost 1.08 trillion over ten years.
There was nothing conservative about the Medicare drug bill, no way to pay for it and other than borrowing on future generations.
This cozy capitalism to the drug companies, and health insurance industries are just the "let the marketplace work" work with a little help from our friends.

Here is my new thing Terry.

We are broke as a country and going bankrupt.

We can't afford anything right now.
