Basic healthcare for all, you can see a pill roller, if your appendix has to go, so be it.

Half a mill liver transplants, bone marrow transplants, things like that, I'm not so sure about. People need to come the the realization that they're going to die, and life ain't fair.

i.e., Death Panels.

Of course this is essential to affordable health care. However, it's such a volatile issue that it would provide the necessary ammo for opponents to kill the reform without breaking a sweat.

Remember Terry Schiavo?
