in case you've not noticed - medicare has been a fact of life since LBJ. are you now stating medicare is unconstitutional? let's alert Chief Justice Renquist and the Supremes. Sorry but medicare is a done deal. s0o why answer what is a fait accomplis? if you feel that strongly, then you need to go to the federal court system and begin the case. i do not need to argue with you over the obvious. why not, instead, demonstrate to us that congress does not have the power to pass legislation which it seems to do quite frequently. i'm sure you have some point you are trying to make but the logic escapes me. you are the voice crying out in the wilderness on this one, Bob.

Now, once again, what is YOUR solution to the problem of the uninsured? or do you not think this is a problem?
