Dyed in the wool Republican

I am a conservative. I am told that I am supposed to oppose Universal Healthcare, that it's tantamount to Socialism.

I don't agree. I think that if we do not get Healthcare regulated, and if we leave it to the Free Market, that the price of Healthcare will spiral because of Demand, not because of higher costs.

I think Jesus would be ashamed to see a Christian nation using disease to profit off the unfortunate.

I will support Max in his efforts to control the spiraling "cost" of Healthcare. It is time to regulate the Insurance Companies. I don't care what side of the aisle you sit on.

Follow up on October 15, 2001 - Max Baucus gave in to the Insurance Lobbyists. I didn't vote for him before, but I planned to once he fixed the Healthcare Crisis. He didn't. He handed our grandchildren's future over to the greed and profit of the Health Insurance Industry.

I sure as hell won't be voting for him ever. He made a mess of things. No leader is he.
