Thoughts on health care

Vitter sounds like he wants regional health co-ops.  Tell me, if I am in the New Orleans health co-op and I evacuate to Arkansas during a hurricane, where do I obtain health care?  How long must I remain in Arkansas before I can join that co-op and obtain health care?  Unless the entire country is in my health co-op, how is this supposed to work?  Or is the idea that it not work?

 

Now the thing might not work because it is too expensive.  But few want to talk about the real expense.  I do so miss real discussion in this country.  I can handle people who say that we can’t afford this.  I have this fear also.  I can’t handle people who are afraid of death panels.   Are these the same folks who approved the war in Iraq because they attacked us?  Excuse me—did you just exchange one lie for another?  How did you do that?  You do remember the people describing death panels are the ones who lied to you about WMD?
