I doubt it will match the Great depression, but America is in for a harrd time. You can thank the Bush administration for that.

Frankly I do not know the position of II's when it comes to State health care. But is it really so radical for the US to have a similar system of State health care as every other western democracy? I've thought for several years now that what is radical is that this wealthy nation does not afford this level of entitlement- that is basically your birthright in most advanced countries- to it's own citizens.
