Jimmy - I also think that government cannot solve all our problems. But, we
have a national crisis. Even major corporations like General Motors say they
can no longer afford to pay health insurance premiums for their employees. If
General Motors cannot afford employee health insurance, how can a small
restaurant, or any of several million other small businesses? The system is falling
apart.

At this level, there is no other forum than national legislation and
leadership to help turn this situation around. The doctors can't do it. The insurance
companies can't and won't. The individual paying $1000 a month for health
insurance (or doing without) cannot change the system.

You can call me a socialist, I really don't care. I'm asking for leadership
on a national level to address these problems. Where else than from the
Presidency? You tell me.
