What I believe the NYT poll misled ppl about is that it won't cost families $500, but it would cost $1000 per household per year for 10 years, so 10k for approximately 12 million out of 50 million or so uninsured in the country. Hardly a worthwhile proposition. Meanwhile the deficit will grow. It's all good though, we'll just print more old presidents.
It's cool though. I'm sure my 73 year old father did not really need a triple bypass after his heart attack anyway. Well, he better not get another one in 2-3 years or he will be deemed not cost containment-worthy by the government. I love socialized medicine. Ppl over 70 or so have had enough time on this earth anyway. Well, unless they are politicians of course.
