Clark, I agree with 90% of what you say, but I couldn't disagree more on this one! There are so many false myths about healthcare.<br> Myth: Only Canadians have universal health care. Fact: America is the only industrialized country that DOESN'T! <br> Myth: Canadians hate their universal health care. Fact: In 2004 Canadians voted Tommy Douglass, the 'founder' of their health care, as the Greatest Canadian ever. <br> Myth: The United States, under the current system has the best health care in the world. Fact: According to the World Health Care Organization, we are not #1 or even #10, but 37th!<br> Myth: If the government ran it, it would be terribly inefficient. Fact: Medicare is government run and runs incredibly effecient at under 3% ad min cost. <br> As stated below getting rid of administrative costs in the current system, that add at least 25% to the current costs, would be a great first step in providing funding.<br> Clark, McCain's plan as I understand would provide about $5K toward buying your own, but an average family plan with so-so coverage is about $12K. Where does the other $7K come from?...isn't this a 'tax' increase? this much like Bush's 'plan' that never got off of the ground. Clark, Bush, McCain and you are all wet on this one! <br> Please Google up and watch Elizabeth Edward's reply to McCain's proposal...she is dead on. <br> Hillary's plan aims high, but Obama's is do-able. Clark, you are not political, but you sure did a lot of political damage on this one!

This week's poll
The high cost of jet fuel has a lot of people staying at home this summer instead of traveling. Is there a "staycation" in your immediate future?
Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
