26. You are a paranoid reactionary
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 05:51 PM by Harvey Korman
I've read all the plans, from top to bottom, more than once. Clinton's and Edwards' plans are more cohesive and represent more ambitious reform than Obama's combination of tax rebates and "insurance marketplace" ideas. Mandates are necessary to make eliminate free-rider problems and maintain efficiencies that make the plans economically feasible.

When you can have a reasoned debate instead of pouncing like a hyena get back to me.
