Some need to keep in mind that millions of Americans who have private health insurance, and are happy with it, don't think they are being "raped" by those companies.
Some also need to keep in mind that well over 50 millions (probably a lot more than 50 million) are very unhappy with their health insurance... and believe they ARE being raped...

Can you please give me the source for your 50 million number?

They just may be surprized to the extent of the "rape".
Lamexican... We have a great discussion tonight with the 2 opposing views going back and forth. We haven't had any personal attacks until you came along. I welcome everyone's opinion until they start speaking that way. So just to let you know I will not be reading or responding to any of your posts.

Who are you calling a buffoon? If you had read any of the postings of folks who aren't on the UHC bandwagon, you would see that we have raised some serious issues. I'd like some serious answers about these logistics before I begin forking over MORE tax dollars to fund a system that will bring questionable results. The only arguments I've heard favoring UHC are emotional appeals from folks who cannot afford (or were denied) medical insurance and that isn't enough for me to trust our government (democrat or republican) with MORE of my tax dollars! Keep in mind, I used to work for a public agency so I have firsthand experience with governmental inefficiency and bureaucratic ineptitude so forgive me if I'm not on the UHC bandwagon.
One of the first changes that IMO will take place involves Tort Reform - capping Punitive (not compensatory) damages. This will have a tremendous impact on reducing Malpractice Insurance rates which will, in turn, reduce physicans overhead which will be passed along to the patient
I am not suggesting that all rich people evad taxes. However a previous poster mentioned that cracking down on the rich evading taxes as a source for paying for healthcare. But I do believe that some rich people do this yes.
