I don't quite understand this. Are you saying that the U.S. health care system doesn't need to be changed? Or that it shouldn't be changed the way the DP platform suggests? (I wouldn't call Kerry's plan "radical," for sure.)
Or are you saying that Americans shouldn't worry about getting sick. What do you mean by "scare mongering"? It's awfully easy to get any number of illnesses -- and even easier as one gets inexorably older. And the cost of getting them treated is getting higher and higher.
