6. Great response.
Unfortunately, what will ensue is either a 2 hour "debate" rife with talking points, jingoism and all things "Red Menace" or a 60-page essay with tons of World Net Daily/Fox/Newsmax links, RW talking points . . . . and, inevitably, all things "Red Menace".

7. Or the ensuing debate can be short-circuited real quickly
"So, first off, we should run our system in such a way that when people get sick - as they inevitably do - someone who doesn't even treat patients makes money? What does the insurance industry bring to the table when it comes to providing health care?"

10. Armed Services
have socialized medicine and I am happy they do as they deserve it, and so does the general population of the US.

12. Interstate Freeway System. Socialist. We already have socialism.

13. Unfortunately, "progressives" think that's a good thing
A plan for a plan for a plan that Obama says will cover less than 5% of Americans. Change you need an electron microscope to detect.
