A Government run health care system/program will not make health care affordable. Look at medicaid and medicare. Look at the Veterans administration and how they treat our country's heroes. I for one don't want that for my health care. We cant give everyone a new house, a new car, health care. When does it end? When!
It's none of the Governments business who has health care insurance and who doesn't. It's none of the Governments business.....
Government needs to stop trying to fix everything.
It IS my business to be concerned about the spiraling costs that I ALREADY pay for others with MY tax dollars and MY increased premiums.
Sticking my head in the sand and bitching about liberals and the government boogey-man isn't going to make it any better either.
Are insurance companies going to fix it? No. Are trial lawyers going to fix it? Hell no. Is the 'invisible hand' of capitalism going to fix it? It could- but the playing field and rules currently established contend otherwise and the PROOF of that exists in the pace in which healthcare costs have outstripped wages and COL (as already mentioned).
So, Who's in the charge of the field and the rules?
Anyone?
Someone call me when partisinship leaves the room, otherwise I have little time to argue the issue.
Partisinship,, oh please. Spare me the drivel. I'm not speaking as a Democrat or Republican. I'm speaking my point of view. I don't want any more Government period. I don't want Government in my health care or any other portion of my life. I don't want to continue to support people who are to damn lazy to get a freaking job. Let it collapse, exactly what we should of done with the auto makers. We need to be smarter throwing money and involving the Government is not the "smartest thing to do" Ill agree something needs to change. Government! No!
government boogey-man he is everywhere, even in this forum.
Congress voting on bill they have not even read is not good. Do you honestly think Government is the answer? Do you really? That is you're Constitutional right also.
That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.”
I'm talking about healthcare. I'm not quite sure what you are addressing BUT...
Yes- I personally want my representatives to read any and all aspects of any proposed legislation, and yes I want them to strike it down if it doesn't address the core issues.
And seeing as though there exists no other method to address the issue other than legislatively, I will, unfortunately, defer to the morons in DC to intelligently debate it. As awkward as it sounds, yes- I would hope this would be the case.
The constitutional 'right' of health care isn't a core issue, and I wish (and I know it won't happen) people wouldn't red herring it as such. It's a plain issue. So instead of the banter to strike it down and leave it alone, which doesn't solve it, how about telling those in charge to get the parties together and FIX IT.
Tea parties, tea baggers or carpet baggers.. I don't give rat's but about any of that, period. Just... work.. the...ISSUE.
liberals think that a public option is just a walk in the park
When the gov can stand between u and the docter they asign you, it's all over!!!
when the gov can ration health care, because the recources are too little. And when the company you work for decides to swith to the public option, and your happy with what you have, you get cooked in the squat!!!
Why would anyone want any government in something as personal as your health. They can see your records, and then mess up your files. what will stop them from going a step further and regulating what health care you can recieve.

I'm supposed to trust private insurance companies anymore than the government? I work extensively with private and public clients in the consulting business...I can assure you they both have major issues.
