18. Health care is the one thing that would not require program cuts or more taxes
Of course, not the way that Obama and the other corporado front two would do it. They plan to raise taxes to subsidize insurance companies to provide more insurance, not CARE. You can just about guarantee that any codicils forbidding cherrypicking or claims denial will get sliced out, just as happened in MA.

Given that we already pay twice as much as other industrialized countries, we just plain don't need more money. We need to take the money away from insurance companies and spend it on CARE. As Kucinich always says, "We are already paying for universal health care; we just aren't GETTING it."
