i am pleased that obama did not cop out on including a public option in his speech about health care reform. i am not pleased by his explicit need to say that the health plan would not directly fund abortion or provide care for illegal immigrants. i am still on the fence about how he thinks it's possible to fund a system without creating any deficit. not that i am opposed to debt, i just don't think that there are that many self-sustaining government programs that keep themselves in the black and it is best to just own up to that fact. but what do i know, i am probably just a liberal/socialist. i would still like to see something more concrete (i.e. policy written down to the T) before making any kind of judgment call on any of this.

anyways...canadian-like single payer system all the way!
