re: #318 Sinistershade

On healthcare and the spectrum of politics and options- This administration never even looked at increased regulation of current insurers and medical providers like say public utilities. Instead they went big, and got pushed back.

When Chrysler and Lockheed got into big trouble way back when, and were regarded in other terms as too big to fail they got loans. No big taxpayer buy ins, no firing of the CEO. Just loans. Under Reagan we had a bank crisis and a savings and loan crisis. The response was both effective and unlike what we see today.
