Why does what work 50 different insurance regulators/ You don't live in New Jersey do you? The more regulators a company has over seeing it the more expensive it is to do business. If there was one car insurance regulator the cheaper car insurance would be.
I hope you are all writing your reps and telling them that a vote against the public option will cost them your vote in the next election.
I'm calling them and telling them that any vote for any of this novice crap their calling HC reform will cost their vote next election. Actually they all lost their vote already. All incumbents are out this next cycle.

That may be a factor, but I believe the largest factor is the market share that one company has in a region. The larger the market share the more the company can control costs. Somehow anti trust regulations don't matter when we are talking about health insurance companies. I still have not figured that out.
Even if we believed the AGW scam to be fact, cap and trade will do little to reduce CO2 created by the US and noting to reduce that created by other nations.

Inability to sell insurance across state lines reduces competition.
We have to start somewhere. I want single payer as bad as anybody but it is too radical to expect to change a whole system overnight! We will have to evolve over time into single payer hopefully. If we can do Public Option and we can get maybe 20% of the people into it and it is ran well and is cost effective, more Americans will see that it is a good idea and they will want to move that way.
Bull Crap, all we have to do is issue everyone a medicare card and ask them if they want PartB. I've been on Medicare since I was 55 because of a disability. If they want a suppliment they can buy one.

How come this isn't the way to do it then? What's really going on then? What is it all REALLY about? Hmmmmm. I think I might know.
Just sent a letter to my rep. Got an email from my rep. asking for comments and to do a survey. I guess because I'm republican I got the email or maybe because I emailed him already to do reform, or maybe just plain old unsolicited email. I congratulate him for asking for a response. However,his message was loud in clear a typical propaganda letter about having the gov't between me and my dr and to much gov't involvement .
Started my response with what are you kidding do I want a public plan, do I want gov't involvement hell yeah just like the insurance I pay for you, just like medicare, just like social security just like unemployment insurance. All things gov't got involved in and all good things and things I think most Americans won't give up. Why do I want to line the pockets of CEO's who not only makes huge salaries but then gets giant bonuses while people will die or be sick without health care. Wake up and smell the coffee one lay off, one devasting illness, one illness in which you can't work anymore will make you wish something was done now. No one no one no matter how careful, no matter how healthy is going to avoid an illness in their lifetime.
