"Many years ago, as a small child, I was told one of those old-fashioned fables for children. It was about a dog with a bone in his mouth, who was walking on a log across a stream. The dog looked down into the water and saw his reflection. He thought it was another dog with a bone in his mouth -- and it seemed to him that the other dog's bone was bigger than his. He decided that he was going to take the other dog's bone away and opened his mouth to attack. The result was that his own bone fell into the water and was lost. At the time, I didn't like that story and wished they hadn't told it to me. But the passing years and decades have made me realize how important that story was, because it was not really about dogs but about people. Today we are living in a time when the President of the United States is telling us that he is going to help us take that other dog's bone away -- and the end result is likely to be very much like what it was in that children's fable. Whether we are supposed to take that bone away from the doctors, the hospitals, the pharmaceutical companies or the insurance companies, the net result is likely to be the same -- most of us will end up with worse medical care than we have available today. We will have opened our mouth and dropped a very big bone into the water." --economist Thomas Sowell

Greed for what you have not earned or paid for is epidemic in our country. TANSTAAFL

If it were a female dog she just might back up to the reflection of the bone in the water? and keep the other bone in her mouth.

Nonsense maybe but I bet his dog has better care than you or most of us... and it aint public-care.

I look at the public option like - public housing... When they move in - I'll consider it - until they move - I'd rather NO-CARE than OBAMA-Care...
