However, a computer crash had me lose the information. It may be less today because of the erosion of our social programs, but we do have government run health care so we wouldn't be starting from scratch. Also, the Canadians who did start from scratch managed to do their transition with little trauma as well, so it's not like there aren't models to draw from. The additional employees will probably come from the health care industry and they would need only a little training. This never was a problem in the private sector when a company expands like Wal-Mart, why would this be different? Really, you are just making stuff up here.

As far as political will our Congress critters are selling us down the river so we are going to have to demonstrate to get their attention. Frankly, I would rather end up with nothing this time around rather than a plan that will be a huge disaster and not solve the problem.
