When big brother gets to the root of the problem of high costs in health care then I'll consider extra taxes. Why do beds cost up to $25,000 and surgical tables $75,000?

Another item is where the tax would be coming from. Why not tax that fast food burger and extra 2 cents instead. We are the nation of fat that eventually developes into heart failure, etc.

Right now I can buy a pack of Marlburo for about $3.50 a pack....that's including the 31 cent fed tax and the states 77 cents. 1/3 of the cost is in taxes! GET YOUR MONEY FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

Have a good one!:s4:
Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . House Sustains Presidentâ??s Veto on Child Health WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 â?? The House on Thursday upheld President Bushâ??s veto of a bill to provide health insurance to 10 million children, but Democrats vowed to send it back to him next month, with minor changes, in the belief that they could ultimately prevail. Despite a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign and intense lobbying by childrenâ??s advocates, supporters of the bill were unable to convert a single House Republican who voted against the bill last month.
