Superguy, I will think about this today while I'm working and post later.

One issue I feel that is being approached improperly (I admit this is not in the scope of your post), is the issue of rising health care costs. I believe neither Bush nor Kerry have plans about curtailing health care costs. They only seem to be interested in reforming programs to make health care available to all. In other words, they want to raise taxes/increase the budget to pay for crazy high insurance programs. I've mentioned it before here, but I had to pay nearly $1400 for a 2 hour emergency room visit (no blood work, only x-rays, no IVs, only one pretty nurse that I can remember). To me, that is silly expensive. I really appreciated the care, but I felt it was expensive. At that rate, a 12 hour stay in the emergency room would be $8400!!!

Whether there is national health care or not is not a big concern to me. My concern is who can/will pay for this?

Oh, and John Kerry proposes sealing the boarders so illegals can not enter so easily. I like this policy better than GWBs temporary amnesty program for illegals already in the country.
