Having enough experience with state-run health care system since I've been <a href="http://lsminsurance.ca/" rel="nofollow">insurance broker in Canada</a> for many years, I've got plenty of experience to see the pros and cons of the system. So I'm all for it from this point of view. On the other hand, the bill incorporated some features I cannot support (literary euthanasia plus the abortion issue). On the top of that, the discussion is no more about the benefits of the reform, or so it seems, but about being too leftist or too liberal or too whatever. Sad sad sad.<br />Sorry for my little outburst... just frustrated.<br />Lorneprimericahttp://lsminsurance.ca/canadian/term-life/primericanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11788678.post-38932418396705480742009-10-08T11:20:58.251-05:002009-10-08T11:20:58.251-05:00Lorne, you are always right to be a bit skeptical....Lorne, you are always right to be a bit skeptical. These figures are the "score," done in a hurry from the Congressional budget office, and amount to their best estimate. Congress has agreed to take their figures for the purposes of further refining the legislation and making sure the President would sign it. And they have a pretty good track record over the years.<br />thanks for your comment.Carol Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477201611599486930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11788678.post-61566861868087404152009-10-08T09:08:23.519-05:002009-10-08T09:08:23.519-05:00I'm always a bit sceptical when someone (media...I'm always a bit sceptical when someone (media, politicians, research agencies etc.) produce these numbers. There's nearly never the method revealed.<br /><br />I'm not saying the bill is not going to save this kind of money. I'm just sceptical to how accurate the research was.<br /><br />Lorneprimericahttp://lsminsurance.ca/canadian-life-insurance-companies/primericanoreply@blogger.com
