re: #167 BigPapa

I’d keep in mind HI’s uniqueness and LA’s recent uniqueness with regards to federal dollars flowing into post Katrina LA. Also the relative populations of both states are very small.

Really, what parts ‘work’ that need to be incorporated into a National system? It wasn’t really clear in the article, just generally ‘hey, it’s cheap and it works’. From there to say that the ‘rest of the civilized world is, in general better overall and spends significantly less per person’ is a very specious and vague statement.

How about, “if you are employed more than twenty hours a week, your employer must provide health care.”
