Health Care Reform I Support

1) Deduct money from everyone's paycheck and force workers to use THEIR money to buy (at least) catastrophic health insurance.

2) Reform immigraton so that even those working here illegally could be herded into a health care policy of some sort.

3) Increase the tax on cigarettes, booze and fast food; use the money to offer health insurance to the poor.

4) Decrease the tax on fresh fruits and vegtables.

5) Promote home health care and hospice programs (but, no "death panels" please).

I am pro death panels, tooth fairies, leprechauns, and unicorns.

The death panel scare reflects a deep seeded anxiety about the future of medicine and the demographics of our population. Millions of people over 80, many of them with dementia. How much care will be afforded them?
