Fred, you just spouted a bunch of right wing talking points in your last post. Tort reform, a right wing talking point, has done nothing to hold on health care costs. There is no significant difference overall in health care costs between states that have and have not enacted tort reforn, i.e. limiting one's seventh amendment rights. Tort reform has NOT held down health care costsin states where it has been enacted and I have no idea why you keep parroting that meme unless you have been brainwashed on the subject.

28% of all Americans know who John Roberts is and 34% know that the TARP program started under Bush. Case closed about Americans and polls. And you were saying about Americans, polls, and health care?!

Can you cite your source about the average of polls.

Social Security can pay out full benefits until 2037, so you were saying about government programs?

Why not drop Medicare and let those over 65 find their own health insurance if you are so concerned about government-run health insurance?

How about this gem?

The Bush and Obama tax cuts are the main reasons for a ballooning national debt.
