I think you can become a conservative when you work towards smaller government...unlike Bush last night who wants government health centers everywhere.
The current healthcare/insurance situation is broken. I'm not a socialized medicine advocate, but something needs to be done. I was let go from a Big5 consultancy in 2003 and my COBRA payments were more than my mortgage for a family of four.
Its broken.
My memory says he said a health clinic in rural counties. I'm open to correction on that.
I sort of like the idea.....like a public library. I see it as one way for the government to keep their promises to veterans for lifetime health care.
We should offer a deal -- healthcare for 2 year's service at a very low rate of pay in a vastly expanded Border Patrol....not a draft, but for volunteers. Work for deferred pay. It fits conservative principles.
We've heard of WorkFare instead of WelFare. How about WorkHealth instead of FreeHealth?
