Update: Healthcare

I'm in the middle of converting this blog and setting it up to look cool. The graphics are rough and I bet my readership remains in the zero digits. All amateurish postings aside, I will comment and try to stay objective on the latest news and steer away from political rhetoric. My interest lays with the issue and how public policy works or doesn't work. Everybody these days are talking about health care. I would like to add a disclaimer. My parents have never voted for a democratic party presidential candidate. I grew up listing to Rush Limbaugh and all forms of conservative talk radio. They came of age politically during the Reagan administration and I have adopted many of their right leaning convictions. However, I have made a commitment to throw out my preconceived notions and to objectively analyze proposals and ideas. People who tend to be liberal or lean in that direction may have had life experiences that make them more sympathetic towards those of lower income. Conservatives tend to like the constitution and believe that sacred document has served us well as a country because of success or cultural upbringing.
