This burden was predicted long before Tenncare was ever enacted (I think prior to Sunquist). I don't disagree with you at all there. However, I don't think its Bush's job to save you from your own governor. Sunquist is a pathetic, tax raising, sneaky SOB who should never be allowed in elected office again. Bush that is not Bush's problem. Like Ronald Reagan used to say "They're endorsing my policies, I'm not endorsing theirs".

Now you show me where Bush is discouraging the very same policies on health care as Hillary Clinton. It's not in the www.hcfa.gov site as a matter of fact it's HMO's full speed ahead. I know it's not Bush's job to save me from the governor. But as I have pointed out two GOP US Senators have helped him as well. One being the writter and sponsor of the recent HMO's Bill of Unconstitutional Court Dominance or the Patients Bill of rights as it is called. And unlike Reagan Bush did endorse Don Sundquist policies. As a matter of fact most of the Bush Cabinet endorses Universal Health Care. You see it wasn't conservatives advise or council he sought again unlike Reagan. Bush look for every Moderate leaning to Liberal to Liberal Republican he could find placing them in his cabinet and treated the conservative portion of the GOP as trash. Yet a whimper of protest about it and conservatives were imediately called to silence. The same conservatives who BTW helped make Reagan. A few good ones like Keyes still speak truth over political corectness in the GOP. Such as those will get my vote. Those who push liberal lite type policies will not get my vote not for party sake not for even office of dogcatcher. Nah I don't buy your arguement there.

I guess I would turn around and ask you where BUSH has said he supports universal care? To me, universal means doing away with private health insurance. If you're a ward of the state either because you're poor or old or both, THAT is not universal care. Others have choices that you don't but there are still choices. Bush's dodge on the Patient's Bill of Rights isn't because he's for it, its political in that he needs cover from people like you who don't understand the healthcare system. You just happen to not like what you dont understand. He'll never count on you because your type will never be there for Bush when he needs you. You have your own agenda and are generally let others carry your load. The people he needs cover from are the ones that do like the system.
