Mr. Kerry - get rid of the government rules, lawyers, mandates, and regulations. Give existing seniors on Medicare and those with clear disabilities a healthcare account that pays for everything health-related so doctors can get paid on the spot. Force able-bodied adults abusing Medicaid to pay for their own private insurance, or create HSAs out of Medicaid. End the FICA tax so employers can provide healthcare incentives and workers can afford them.
The solution to healthcare is right in front of politicians' noses.
It's an economic lesson that Kerry and his fellow collectivists will never, ever learn.
Eliminating tax cuts for those earning more than $200,000 per year will drop a 200,000 ton anchor on our economic engine. Instead of pulling more money into the treasury, there would be LESS.
To make up for the shortfall, a President Kerry would do 3 things.
First, blame the shortfall on Republicans,
Second, eliminate the tax cuts for all, and increase taxes on almost everyone, and,
Third, nationalize health care in America (and redistribute services away from us Payers and toward the alleged Poor.)
But wait, there's a big, big bonus in Mister Kerry's plan.
Free medical care would bring in more illegal aliens than ever.

Perhaps he's manuvering to be Hillary Clinton's Vice President should he lose the nomination to her.
Only if the Ketchup Queen pays for it! Then I'm all about
universal health care, baby! ;-)
Who!?
Shutup!!! Shutup!!! Shutup!!!
First, he'd make them wear armbands, then, he'd put all people unwilling to buy insurance into "camps"...
Perhaps he can get his wife to pay for it all.
"Hey, its worth every penny. Believe me I know.
"And I would highly recommend it, because if you can't become a sleazball kept man like me, you will be "directed" to belong to mine--and that Senator what's her name from N.Y.'s--Universal Health Coverage."
"Heh, heh, as the ol saying goes, 'you can pay me now, or........"
Shouldn't we all be dead from global warming by then?
And I have a good guess how he wants to fund his plan:

Not with my country, Senator!
Why if he were elected President there would be no sick people. He would enforce legislation making illness against the law. Empty hospitals would then be available to house the 20 million guest workers that he and Senator Kennedy will let in.
Was this announced while he spoke to 20,000, I mean, 20 people in Iowa yesterday?
>>>He did not say how he would enforce the proposal to have all Americans insured if his plan is not implemented by 2012.<<<
SHOOT 'EM.
KerryCare? Or hari-Kerry-care?
Whatta goober. I guess he's planning on their being even more leeches available to vote by 2012, huh? He must figure this will be a real career break out move for him. Yuh, right.
This is the worst Idea I've ever heard. Let's give MASS 10 years and see how many people still live there before making it so we have no where to run.

Canada will protest this strongly.
Where then would Canadians go for decent healthcare?
Good grief---can't he just GO AWAY already? I'm calling it KFS--Kerry Fatigue Syndrome.
New date?
