I don't think there should be any umbrella bills.  PERIOD! One premise, one 
bill.  We need insurance reform.  It needs its own clear and concise bill. 
We need Medicare/Medicaid reform with heavy emphasis on closing loopholes 
and prosecuting WITH stiff penalties (loss of license if born here, deported 
if not born here [btw scream profiling but the facts are the facts, the % of 
foreign born "profiteers" is far higher than the % of "natural born" citizen 
fraud).  We need a network of well-staffed (not graduated 303 in a class of 
304 or a bunch of FNPs and PAs) clinics with a sliding scale for folks who 
don't have insurance.  Everyone gets Medicaid or Medicare who don't have 
insurance, if they should os choose, with a buy in and share of cost 
depending on ability to pay.

We don't need 53 new bureaucracies.  We don't need stupid things like 
marriage counseling by a psychiatrist or psychologist for folks in a convo. 
We don't need, we don't need, we don't need about covers the whole bill.

The press corp is fact-adverse but very fable friendly.
