Check out the Move On spot that contrast Edwards vision of hope versus Cheney's fearmongering.

What we need in healthcare, is a complete overhaul. Universal care was mentioned, and is needed. One CEO of an insurance company makes somewhere around a million dollars a year, plus benefits. If you took the top twenty employees off all insurance employee payrolls, insurance premiums would be affordable to everyone. The only way that is going to happen is with universal healthcare. Find out what the CEO in your Insurance Company makes, and do the math yourself.
I see freedom of speach is not very popular here. If you say and they don't like they remove it. Kerry must have ordered this directly as no self-repecting administrator would take it upon themselves to make such a freedom restricting move.
My guess is this comment won't be here much longer either. Those that see will see and then see its gone will know this site for what it is... a fraud.
The benefits from Kerry's plans are far more than $1000 savings. The $1000 savings is based upon the savings from the federal government assuming part of the cost of catastrophic care. Other portions of Kerry's plans could also save individuals additional money. Kerry's plans will also provide incentives for employers to provide additional coverage.

This is a joke. I have wrote many comments on this site. I am a bush supporter. I have not cussed or been out of line. Simply spoke what I believe. All of my comments have been removed. Talk about media and brainwashing. I guess the liberal administrator of the site picks what he wants you to read.
www.BannerHealth.com has a poll on their home page regarding Bush or Kerry and their health plans. Right now it is overwhelmingly Bush so if you want to change the tide might want to check it out!
Here is a petition to have John "Hanoi" Kerry tried for treason. Everyone should sign. His supporters should be unafraid of the outcome. His detractors will get their day in court.

OK Im voting for Kerry, but we have to stop this stuff of needing more allies in Iraq from the UN. We are the UN. Without the US nothing meaningful happens in the UN. IN the first Gulf War we watch French Troops refuse to advance against enemy fire. NO American troop with more than 15 years credit wants French Troops on their flank. We should finish the job with ppeople we can count on: British, Aussies
The Truth Shall Set You Free.............
Check some of your Heinz products. "Sen. John
Kerry keeps talking about U.S. corporations leaving
this country and setting up shop in foreign
countries, taking thousands of jobs with them.
He is right, because that has happened.
However, he is trying to blame George W. Bush. As far as I
know, Bush has not moved one factory out of this
country because he is not the owner of a single
factory. That cannot be said about Kerry and his
wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry. According to the Wall Street
Journal, the Kerry's own 32 factories in Europe and
18 in Asia and the Pacific.
In addition, their company, the Heinz Company,
leases four factories in Europe and four in Asia.
Also, they own 27 factories in North America, some of
which are in Mexico and the Caribbean. 80% of Heinz
products are made overseas. I wonder how many
hundreds of American workers lost their jobs when
these plants relocated in foreign countries. I also
wonder if the workers in Mexico and Asia are paid the
same wages and benefits as workers in the United
States. Of course they're not. However, Kerry demands
that other companies that relocate should pay the same
benefits they did in the U.S. Why does he not demand
this of the Heinz Company, since he is married to the
owner? If Kerry is elected, will he and his wife close
all those foreign factories and bring all those jobs
back to America? Of course they won't. They're making
millions off that cheap labor.
Thank you and make your vote count....
