    Single Payer? Sure.. Why pay for your healthcare when you can get government to pay instead... It's not like government gets it's money from the citizens or anything like that..

    I'm really surprised they didn't wait until after the election. I expect to get my notice on Nov. 7.

    The truth about extremists like you who seem to think there is absolutely nothing wrong with letting rich CEOs have absolute power and christianity should dominate our laws.

    Um...
    1 - Our laws have always been based on principles similar to the principles of Christianity..... Things like murder and theft being illegal.... You mean stuff like that?
    2 - Buffet and Immelt having run of the WH might be extreme, but even Obama keeps more power for himself than he gives his donors.

    Does that clear things up a bit?

    I'm in the 10 to 15 percent tax rate, in the parents basement, so no tax burden whatsoever for me this is great! Free health care,

    but those folks who moved out, and are higher up in the tax brackets, the new health care tax burden slams them, similar to universal health care, substantial increases.

    basically the more money, promotions in ones careers, etc...the more government takes to pay for the health care pool, like it or not.

    What are you on now? How do you come to the conclusion that "I seem to think" nothing is wrong for a small group of people to have absolute power to dominate the LAWS?

    So you're saying that all health insurance should be nationalized?

    You can't turn a service like healthcare into a right without turning people who provide that service (doctors) into slaves of the state.

    You carry a very expensive policy. You should consider HD plan and take advantage of HSA.

    You don't know what you're talking about. I'm dismissing that BS out of the chute. Everyone does not have access to proper health care.

    Stop lying to yourself and other. People are literally DYING because of the very thing you believe they are getting.

    What you're saying is ludicrous; you need to get real. People putting out the kind of BS you want to PROPAGATE, is why this nation (great as it is) continues to SUCK in the ways it does. No one should tolerate the kind of MISINFORMATION which cause low-info voters to promote policies against their own best interests. :angered:

    We need Single Payer NOW!!

    Of course. But it will take a generation or two, to weed-out the selfish and blinded jerks who think everyone should NOT have it.

    Things will change; it is just a matter of time.

    Proper healthcare (available and affordable for all), is a good thing.

    There is no getting around that.

    The cost spread out upon ALL, is better than the system we now have. Other nations (though their systems aren't perfect) have proven that; they are doing better than ours.

    For just ONE thing: Life expectancy in this nation is going DOWN, not up.

    The Right is not concerned with people DYING. This should be obvious by now.

    Is that fault of Obama or for trusting in private business your healthcare? Welcome to the capitalism :) Enjoy it. The health or the lifes of people are not important, only the profits :) Enjoy your ideology.

    Ah, the rest of countries have much cheaper and better healthcare :) Your good healthcare is only for wealthy people :) Enjoy it.

    Yeah, it is time to politically PUSH the 'extremists' aside. They are marginalizing themselves... but not quite fast enough.

    Are you listening Liberals, Progressives and Independents??! Promoting what's on the Left with help America more than the craziness coming from the far-Right.

    Your insurance goes up anyway due to the bean counters who are making very, very high salaries to cheat you out of what would have been yours before these parasites came into being in the 1980's.

    Blame the fatcats at the insurance companies and the fatcat lobbyists who steal and cheat the American people out of the healthcare that should be rightfully theirs, along with the banks and pharmacy companies, who are also cheating us blind

    Maybe true, but healthcare would also be much cheaper if we went back to the technology of the 1950's too.

    All I know is, that the health care industry in America... is one giant DEATH PANEL.

    People need to be honest about that.

    Oh yes, there are tens of thousands dying each years for LACK of proper health care. If we don't really care... lets say so; then all will know. One thing is certain as far as I'm concerned: Those on the Right show VERY clearly that they don't care about people dying; they only offer semi-compassionate LIP SERVICE; they won't DO anything. :angered:

    I'd rather have a bit of pressure applied to my genitals in the security line, than have a fuselage blow from around me at 40k feet at 500 kts. per hour.

    Easy choice, in my view.

    It should be indeed. Let's get on with it.

    Train more Doctors and others. Pay them to do the job and let's stop with the nonsense.

    Either we allow people to DIE (and perhaps help them on the way out)... or we solve the problems related to the same.
