The only answer is going to be, eventually, some kind of national, universal coverage. A guaranteed system that everybody regardless of income will have at least basic health care, said ABC medical correspondent Dr. Timothy Johnson on the Oct. 16, 2006, Good Morning America. It's "the only answer" because it'll get the lawyers out of the liability lawsuits. Not so easy to sue the government.

"everybody regardless of income will have at least basic health care"
All these people live in states and most states already provide health care to those that cannot afford it.
We do not need to duplicate it at the federal level.

Despite what Democrats have said, it may turn out that President Bush was right when he said, Theyre going to raise your taxes and figure out new ways to spend the money.Of course, you, President Bush, have a way to stop this. Don't repeat the sins of your father.

Dems to Block Republicans in House
Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced a plan to put an end to partisan bickering in the House of Representatives. For too long, the business of the American people has been hampered by excessive partisanship, Pelosi said. It has been pointed out to me that it is within the power of the Democratic Caucus to prevent this. This will be my first priority in my promised 100-hour legislative blitz.
The gist of Pelosis plan is to resort to a rarely used Constitutional clause to deny the seating of any Republican Representatives. The clause is in Article I, section 5 and says Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members.
We cant stop Republicans from running, nor voters from voting for them, but we can prevent them from taking their seats, Pelosi pointed out. If everyone in our caucus holds the line, we have the power to ensure that no Republican is in a position to impede our progress.
Pelosi dismissed contentions that overruling election outcomes in which Republicans had won would be undemocratic. Considering well-documented evidence of Republican intimidation of minority voters, their rigging of voting machines, and the continued discriminatory ineligibility to vote of undocumented immigrants, I think its fair to say that there may not be a legitimately elected Republican in the lot, Pelosi asserted. Besides, given the state of the country, who in their right mind could possibly have voted Republican? We cannot let the votes of the mentally unbalanced stand in our way.

So now the journalists are setting our legislative agenda.
I thought that was done by elected officials?

How would Dr. Johnson answer this followup question: "Will everyone be entitled to supplement this basic socialized health care using their own resources?" It's a serious question -- in Canada we're not allowed to use any alternative to the government monopoly.
