ETA to above...
This was the FIRST year they even bothered to cross check history with
next year's claimed $. So... maybe they are getting smarter? (
)ETA2... I like sloths, as animals. Not sloths as in slow-moving government jerks.

We need a dirt simple national healthcare system. Income tax + sales tax based, with controls on the cost side and the government being allowed to either compete and/or break up monopolies/patents for the good of the population (make HC an exception with different rules). The cash-cow it is now needs to stop. And "personal spending accounts" are a joke. Utter joke.

but... VAT. Just DO IT. Now, how MUCH of a tax... don't know.
That would depend on the ability to do the other things you mention:
"controls on the cost side"... "government being allowed to either compete
and/or break up monopolies/patents". Canada (the last time I checked)
was at 16%. THAT is high. And I don't know how the government up there
interacts with the "supply side" of medical things.
And the much-touted HSAs... people simply will just NOT do that. Most
of the nation can barely make ends meet NOW. Where will they find the
extra resources to sock away?

Road plow has yet to pass by. I'm just giddy with excitement
for the event!!! I should move my car to the VERY edge of
the driveway... maybe the plow will make a wide berth.

Good morning Dale, Kat, Atty CES & Bear
Morning Gracie.
I don't switch browsers easily. But I use two now (FF and Chrome). Mostly FF...but it doesn't work well anymore with my password vault, so I use Chrome sometimes for certain sites.

Problem: I use " igHome " as my home page (set up with a bunch
of gadgets and stuff), but the only thing that shows is CNN and
ICanHasCheeseburger. No weather. No stock market stuff.
Google Translate and gMail do not load. No Wikipedia direct
access.
Boo.
Hiss.

Speaking of slow moving government, five years ago, my father's SS disability was approved. He passed in 1987.
Hubs is off plowing for the 2nd time this month. We'll get paid for it sometime. LOL. He does 5 driveways.2 are supposed to pay per storm but that rarely happens,2 we bill monthly and they both pay good,the last is a gal that pays at the end of the season.She pays good also. We got about another 7 inches out there.
Ummm, hot lemony tea and lemon cake!
