  • What do you think about Robert Reich's new video on the public option?

    Please watch this video and tell me if this makes sense to you?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBi8A_HutII

    He seems to be arguing that the only way a public option will be able to guarantee a low enough price is if it is national and huge, rather than smaller and regional. Then he says that when it offers a lower price than smaller, regional insurers, they will be forced to lower their prices to compete. So, correct me if I am wrong, but he seems to say that it is impossible for a small, regional public plan to guarantee low prices, but it is somehow possible for a small, regional private plan to guarantee low prices. If that is the case, then it follows that private insurers are more efficient than a government insurer. If it is not, then he just wants to drive the private insurers out of business.

    I don't know if it is possible here to have a rational intelligent debate without all the name-calling, but please try. Tell me if you think Reich is trying to say here if you believe he is a good spokesman for the cause.

  • Whole family tree charting software?

    Does anyone know of a program that will chart your whole family tree, not just ancesters or descendents? What I want it one that will include cousins and their children, aunts, uncles, as well as ancesters all in one chart.
