Health Care update

So Harry Reid launched his health care legislation yesterday. 849 million dollars to get 94% of American's covered by a public option. There is some issue over giving patients with acess to the option coverage for abortions, but plans without abortion coverage will also be sold.
With 58 Democrats and 2 independants supporting this bill in the Senate, supporters have the exact number of people to bypass all delays and stuff.
Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with socializing health care. The purpose of Government, especially in America, is to provide for "life, liberty, and Property", as John Locke said. Benjamin Franklin replaced "property" with "Pursuit of happiness", but either provision is much harder to attain if you're sick.

And for some reason pictures are not working for me. :(
