have that the only government run health care we have quote quiz Medicare which everybody apparently -- Medicare has got way higher readings in the private health care insurance industry. And all that -- Health Care Reform did well lastfrom your doctor before hand that it can be covered by your Medicare or what have you. No my god you can have a panel decided to gonna kill grandma.

These are things that -- -- except they -- out by the sea -- security. But for the most part I believe that we need to have some kind of safety net. Right now or the government run health care we've got is Medicare and the bill that passed last year did not. Did not put thirty million people on Medicare . It did not say the government is taking over health care so that's out the window. More than what about this issue
