WASHINGTON - Democrats completed an improbable double-barreled election sweep of Congress on Wednesday, taking control of the Senate with a victory in Virginia as they padded their day-old majority in the House.

It's a fact that these wonderful "temporary" programs do not work. Why we continue to pursue this is beyond me. That's why I am against a national health plan. I don't want the gov't taking my money and telling me how I can spend it. Which is exactly what it would be. The more they control the more they screw up. Government and efficiency do not go together..... that's why I usually don't vote democrat is they seem to be pro entitlements and pro letting anyone have them. I like my money in my pocket.....

That's why I am against a national health plan. .... Junkie One striking example of how the health plan works here in Canada. Yes, it gets near chaotic for folks waiting for surgeries -however- a few years back I had a friend in his 50s go in for a check-up due to excessive fatigue. Doctor says bluntly to my friend,-paraphrasing- 'you WILL get yourself into a hospital now and prepare for heart surgery'. X-rays showed friend was on practically borrowed time. Within 4 days the heart sugery was performed, successfully and just in time;the cost to my friend- he now pays only for regular heart medication. Life goes on for him normally otherwise- no worrying about paying for such a major procedure. It's not a 'free' system... most of us up here chip in through taxes... but when you need to use the system, you realise that it's a great benefit.
