Single payer - bring it on. I would welcome it.

And just who is the Heritage Foundation???? Looks like they get a lot of their donations from pharmaceutical companies, who have their own interests....to make more money... which is the opposite of my interest - affordable health care.

I would welcome it, too, but I doubt that will occur. First of all, there will always be concierge providers for the wealthy, 2nd, Medicare supplement or other "supplement" plans will always be available, the private health care industry can and will "compete", at least with those who are in a "comfortable" financial situation, and who distrust "the big bad government". . . if those people choose a public system over the private one, they start re-thinking their position RIGHT NOW!

The words came directly from the mouths of democrats. The Heritage Foundation posted the videos. People can take that as they will. Attempting to discredit the Heritage Foundation does not change the words that were spoken.

Trying to "discredit" the heritage foundation...???? NO, but people need to know who they are and who is standing behind the curtain financing them. It is always a good idea to look who is actually behind a group.

A couple of people now speak for the "DEMOCRATS"???

In any case, that would be fine with me. Single Payer is the best option in this mess, as far as I am concerned.

At least with our government as the single payer, we won't have doctors waiting for a patients condition to progress so they can get a bigger fee. They will get paid to treat people not get rich. Or they go to jail.

If the government wants it, why don't they have the balls to just stand up and say that. Why the sneaky public option first, then single payer next bs?
