I'd actually like to hear Gerry, if he has a chance, share a couple of reflections about the state of economists, the state of economic studies, and economic discipline in this country as compared to other parts of the world. I think it really is a function of conflict of interest, a broken methodology -- it's a world view that's very ideologically driven.
And what Gerry has done, and folks from the single payer movement do, is we don't come at this from an ideological perspective, by and large. We want to look at the numbers, want to make sure the numbers add up, and they underscore what Gerry saying, which is; we're going to reduce costs, we're going to get quality health care for all people, they're going to have more choices, and there's much more.
There's going to be far less rationing of health care and we're going to be able to stimulate the economy overall with jobs, and growth, and really restore medicine back to its rightful place which is the relationship between the patient and the provider.
