Now you can spin ObamaCare any way you want, but the fact remains that it dooms free enterprise, which is why individual doctors are being bludgeoned into oblivion, and the state is taking over every important aspect of health care. Read the full definition of communism, you will see it is worded that communism considers free enterprise as its mortal enemy, something to be obliterated, according to the father of communism, Karl Marx. ObamaCare health bill does a pretty good job of regulating the hell out of health care, taking decisions out of the hands of individual doctors, on the assumption that letting a politician decide a health issue is somehow better than letting a professional doctor decide the same issue. That just does not make sense to me. Mark-

Obama beat him by a decisive majority and should be congratulated for keeping his promise. Few expected him to adopt McCain's mealy-mouthed policy on health care reform just to avoid argument. Arguing is a two-sided affair, so there is no blaming just one side for carrying it on. Persistence has won out at the expense of time and pork. That is how our Congress works, for better or worse. -- ++====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====+====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====++ ||Arnold VICTOR, New York City, i. e., <arvimideQ(a)Wearthlink.net> || ||Arnoldo VIKTORO, Nov-jorkurbo, t. e., <arvimideQ(a)Wearthlink.net> || ||Remove capital letters from e-mail address for correct address/ || || Forigu majusklajn literojn el e-poŝta adreso por ĝusta adreso || ++====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====+====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====++
