But from what this congressman said, the government can decide to takit from
you. Does that sound like a fair plan? He has a copy of the bill to quote
from, I don't.

The system we have definitely needs reform in many areas. Did you happen to
see on the news (NBC) last night about the $79 a month clinic? No
insurance, no forms, just a flat fee no matter how many doctor visits.

I'm certainly not against change and more coverage for more people, but I
still want the details of how and the cost before saying yes or no.
