But I think if health care legislation is written well, there will be accountability, and I know I disdagree with you and Janet and Danny here, but I still believe the federal government can and should do it. That's OK, though. As long as everyone gets quality health care, I'm on board.

So far, all of the proposals by our government have been centered around this concept. Budgeting is needed in every state of this issue. On the personal, on the private market and on the government. As for the bailouts, I don't support their basis either. We're told that they were put in place for the purpose of salvaging the entire economy and were to be nowhere near the estimated $2 Trillion they are set to be after inflation adjustments. This is the same government making made those failed promises. Promises and speeches mean nothing without the intent to keep the word of what was said. One promise given is to not raise taxes, by their own admission, this promise will have to be broken to all citizens to cover their plan. How can we trust an entity that by nature has to break its word? Any time the government gives a price tag, it's wise to expect a "cost over-run". For this reason, I think it would be best to consider not only helping all that need help, but doing it in the most efficient and cost-cutting way; something for which no government has ever been a success. Private industry has to by nature keep cost low, but every intrusion by the government has resulted in an inflation of health care cost. With both e-filed records and government over watch of health care codes, standardized codes for health providers, and elimination of waste in the system(caused by government involvement in the form of "leap before we think") the corrections can be made that would cover all US citizens.
