Not only will dr. be told how much they can charge but will pay more in taxes as well. This will KILL the medical industry here. Plus, if you go ahead and add 40 million new members to the system without increasing doctors etc. then everything will be rationed. You say it's bad because I don't want it yet only 40% of Americans want this terrible system. The government screws everything up. Look at the Post Office, RMV, Social Security etc etc.
As for Global warming China is going to change anything. They own manufacturing in the world right now and aren't going to jeopardise that. Their labor is cheap and their regulations are cheap so their cost to produce is LOW. They will not comply with the world polutions. The U.S. can't be the only country trying to save the world. The U.S. sells Hummer to China because of the low emissions yet the Chinese will be driving these vehicles so how does this help.
As far as Palin and Biden goes, the media is the one with the bias and they were so threatened by Palin that the crucified her. Now Obama wants to back out of Iraq and Iran which will make us weak to the rest of the world.
You don't even live in the U.S. so looking in from the outside you can say all that you want because it won't impact you. However, I love my country and although it is not perfect it is more productive than any socialist country out there. The reason is there is personal growth when we create something which is what made this country so great. If I put my hard work in I can make a living for myself and provide my family with a ton of luxuries.
In socialist countries I can be a bum and still have everything that a hard work has. I live for myself and my family not for people that choose not to work.
