The White House might finally get around to telling us how they would approach Healthcare, maybe even offer us some specifics on what the bill would look like, and what they would support.
The only trouble is, what might come out of the White House will probably resemble more of the "Cash for Clunkers" bill than a serious bill about reforming the future of healthcare in our nation.
Not intentionaly of course, but we have to judge the future behavior of our government by their past performance. So we may get a bill, but God help us when they go to implement it! Nothing is more scary. Imagine the line of doctors, lined up outside the "government option" waiting for their payments for the work they've performed.
The only trouble this time is, this time they may not be allowed to get out of the program. That is the scary part.
I know it is a cliche, but it is very true - those who forget the lessons of history are DOOMED to repeat them. Don't be deceived, there is no "free" healthcare, we will all pay, in terms of cash AND quality.
