Do you who think that the public option/single-payer government system for health insurance is a good idea? I have been on Medicare for about a year now, and it isn't what it's cracked up to be. I receive a treatment twice per month in order to keep me alive. Medicare doesn't pay for all …

What on earth is going on, Montana folks? I am so proud of our ability to see through con artists but, gosh, what happened lately? A busload of protesters going to the town hall meeting paid for by big insurance? Are you on that bus? Why?

There have been a lot of letters submitted lately on the issue of health care reform; some folks think that it is "socialized medicine" while others think that is an appropriate role for government to fill in light of the millions of uninsured in the U.S.
