		<description><![CDATA[The United States government spent $783 billion in 2006 on Medicare and Medicaid. If we went to a universal healthcare in this country, it would probably go well over a trillion dollars. And taxes would certainly increase. American&#8217;s want affordable healthcare or a universal healthcare system. This is going to be a huge debate going [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Upon completing college back in the early 1970s, I worked for a large department store in NY in the accounting office. Working full time, naturally, I was afforded a company group insurance policy which included health benefits, along with dental, and life insurance. At that time there were no HMOs, nor were there any physicians [...]

Bottom line I wouldn&#8217;t count on a miracle solution that fixes everything. I look at the problem different than a lot of people. Instead of [...]

The contorted plans from Clinton [...]
