How about using this plan as a starting point for discussion versu just beating it down.

I think that if the idea can be said to have any merit at all, you just put your finger on it. Democrats have been talking about affordable health insurance for years (and only recently have they had the ability to do something other than just talk about it). If a proposal by Bush is enough to get both parties to sit down and seriously talk about solutions, then I'm glad Bush offered it up.

But I gotta tell ya, it cracks me up that Bush actually proposed a tax increase - of any kind - to address a problem. Wish the sky wasn't overcast tonight - I'd check for a blue moon!
