Some may be interested in my bipartisan approach to health care. It can be found at:

http://www.plan.bipartisanhealthplan.com

It has some features in common with the Wyden-Bennett bill but is more radical, involving government supplemented Health Funding Accounts and private guaranteed-renewable health policies from birth to death. These replace all other government health plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP.

The approach, by design, solves the inherent contradictions between pre-existing conditions, guaranteed issue, community rating, and market competition which have been on view in town hall meetings this August and which have frustrated politicians and citizens of both parties.

It also has elements in common with David Goldhill’s article.

Goldhill and I have in common the facts that we are not health care professionals and were brought to the field by the real-life experiences of relatives.

… Among those registered to lobby on behalf of Goodrich were … Krister Holladay, a former chief of staff to Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.

Jim Marshall is one of the smartest politicians this state has ever seen. I hope to see him as governor or senator some day. Then GA will get out of it’s slump.

He keeps bringing up that Atlantic article. In Warner Robins at a Town Hall after he had mentioned it two or three times, somebody asked him, “Can the Atlantic guy run for congress?

OK Will, first off, insurance companies got big and rich because they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and worked hard to get there. My motto is: Health care is a privilege, not a right. That’s why I choose not to deal with it. I save a fortune and it leaves me enough to employ two people. Once Hussein Nobama forces me to pay for it, I’m closing shop and Hattiesburg will have one less plumber. People think I’m crazy? I eat what I want. Smoke what I want. Watch TV when I want. Nothing has happened to me except for bad knees. All I have to do is wrap them up in duct tape when they hurt and I’m fine. This health care plan is plain stupid like every single Democrat like Jim Marshall. I’m tired of Lil Hussein talking, talking and talking about this nonsense. He hasn’t done anything but raise my darn taxes and take away my freedom. It’s time to start impeachment hearing led by the honorable John Boehner.
Also, how’s it looking for my friend Eric Johnson over there in Savannah? He would make a great governor for Georgia.
I’m also sorry about that flooding. My aunt in Brasstown is doing fine since she’s on decent ground. I do know the headaches that come from flooding. I worked with thousands from Mississippi when Katrina and Rita hit. We didn’t whine for any help from the Godless feds either. Like our wonderful governor, Haley Barbour told those morons in Congress: We take care of ourselves.
God Bless far, far, crazy lefty nutcase Will Jones, The Pope, Newt and John Boehner,
Bill

Cheney, Bush, The Pope and Clinton’s Rockefeller-nose used the same weather machine that made Hurricane Katrina flood all the African Americans of New Orleans, to flood Atlanta. The Catholic G-D of the treasonous traitors that commited 9/11 are targeting me because I know they did 9/11. Those neocons are not above using the power of weather to silence their foes that misuse Latin tense and expose their treachery. Death for Treason.

As the president needs all hands it would do well for an intelligent Democrat to beat him in the next primary cycle. What a tool of Big Insurance oligarchs, and no friend of The People.
