So no one has lost a job in this economy and has been unable to find a better one than they have at the moment? Funny how the right keeps posting threads about job loss and low job growth, but when it comes to pass that real families are feeling the brunt of it, the families get demonized. Do you people ever hear how obtuse, hypocritical and cold hearted you sound?
A government operated UHC system would eliminate all the problems with Medicare/aid. It would also eliminate almost all the medical administrative costs and health insurance company overhead and profit as well. Just eliminating the profit motive and costs from medical care would save the society billions. Every year.

a singlepayer system to cover the 320 million people in the usa would cost between 2-5 trillion a year
The Christie administration is expected to propose cutting the maximum income level of Medicaid from $24,645 to $5,317 a year for a family of three
“That is about a third of the poverty level,” Castro said. “That means that an uninsured parent working full time at a minimum-wage job wouldn’t be eligible. … A parent who works half-time for minimum wage wouldn’t even qualify.
This is coming from a governor who is preaching shared sacrifice. Yes...apparently shared sacrifice is having a plan that denies medicaid to a family of 3 making $15,000/year while having a plan that ensures millionaires pay less in taxes than they did the day he took office.
The problem with his plan is he will be dumping the new "costs" on hospitals as Ronald Regean made it the law that "you must provide medical care to everyone." So emergency rooms will fill up in NJ more and more, hospital costs will go up, hospital prices go up, you fill in the rest.
And that will come out of YOUR premiums if you live in NJ.
Pass the liabilities to those that have money.
The state has a shortfall and they don't have a printing press.
You can't spend money you don't have and states have balanced budgets.

How many over 50 new government bureaucratic offices had to be formed up to administer Obamacare? I really wonder how you can continue to say that new plan will eliminate all those people who have to be paid to administer this monster. I really don't think you look at where the money for UHC comes from. I guess taxing the hell out of the rich pays for that healthcare but then what else will there be money for?
I need to see this from a credible source, and a forum on abovetopsecret.com does not qualify.
