American people, democrat or republican.. We American adults have been not the problem. This total celebration tongue upon here is silly. This is what the supervision of the strongest manage to buy in the universe does when perplexing to run business.

SS and Medicare would be fine without Republicans dipping their greedy fingers into those, and trying to cut pieces out of them to give to private business’s. There are better ways to fix SS, how about a flat SS tax rate to all people, so the wealthy are taxed at the same rate as the rest of us?
And to answer your question… No. I am not positive that this healthcare/insurance reform is the best thing for reforming healthcare coverage in our country. I would have much preferred a public option, or single payer. However this reform is still better than doing nothing, as the Republican party has been advocating for this badly broken system, for decades.
FDA, NHTSA, FCC, FAA, the Armed Forces, DARPA, NASA, NOAA.
The Congressional dining room. No wait, that’s running in the red, too.
Fed income tax started out at 1/2 of 1% of income over 20,000 dollars in 1914. Now look at it.
SS started out at 43 paying to each 1 drawing SS. Now it is 4 to 1. Unsustainability heavy debt for young people.
No matter how good the intentions federal programs turn into total disasters.
The US government has run the United States successfully for 250 years.
why don’t you look at the sustainablity of the current health system…
I bet if we had done nothing… it would have broken about 20 years before SS or the post office…
