It is certainly a horrible and pretentious excuse for a debate on health
care these cats suggest with such a narrow focus. Of course they want
to constrain the limits of the debate, while giving a show of
enlightened discourse. The fabled chicken on a string. _*
NO one is addressing the roots of the health care
problem*_!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Single payer will fix nothing, because it is completely misdirected, no
matter how noble or compassionate it seems to be.
Therefore, In My Humble Opinion, No viable solution to the health care
debacle is possible at this time.

Rich Whitney was quite impressive at the Midwest Liberty Fest. You can
watch the debate here.
ALL of the candidates, ALL parties were invited, and contacted multiple
times. Some shied away on purpose. One actually had a good excuse for
not attending.
