Joan Ganz Cooney on Nationalized Health Insurance: 'Your Money or Your Life'
In response to: Are you willing to accept more gov't regulation and fewer choices in health care to cut costs and provide insurance for all?
Hmmmm. This reminds me of the great comedy moment that received the longest laugh from the studio audience in radio history, when Jack Benny, notoriously tight, was confronted by a gunman who said, "Your money or your life." No answer from Jack. The gunman then said, "Well?" Benny replied, "I’m thinking. I’m thinking."

tHIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO SOUND WILD BUT I’M GOING
TO SAY IT ANY WAY.
HEALTH CARE CAN BE DONE IN IN A WAY WE ALREADY HAVE
THE BLUEPRINT. Medicare It works for seniors why can’t it work
for the rest of us. With just a few tweks we can insure the rest
of us. Children are already covered. Infuse some cash from
the hedge funds and banking who would’nt mind helping out
our country.Good citizens that they are. it might work.
If they are very rich they can continue with their own policies
If they are working and are covered so be it.
The 20% that medicare dosen’t cover can come from
either the person themselves if they have or Tax on cigarettes
alchol Wine included. Maybe even Pot.
