This all sounds fine and dandy, until the private doctors, x-rays, and labs start going out of business.

Once it becomes too difficult to deal with the Government overseers, they will walk away, and we will be standing in line at the public health clinic.

A new black market for was just created for underground healthcare, and only the very rich will be able to afford good care.

Where do you come up with stuff like this? EVERY OTHER industrialized nation has some form of nationalized health care.

We are rated 37th. The 36 countries that have better health care than we do, all have nationalized medicine.

Even Costa Rica. You know, where Rush is going for his health care from now on.

This bill does not nationalize health care.

I wish it did but, unfortunately, it does not. All the same, this has been a very good weekend for me. Sat, I found out I am going to be a grandfather. Sun, I found out that he or she will have a future absent the anxiety of being able to tend to any health issues. Indeed a good weekend.

How do you feel about the Government police that already exists? Do you think they are doing a good job providing security at the airports? I hear nothing but complaints, and contempt for the TSA.

Ever deal with the Social Security office?

What makes you think this Government project will be any better?

Rated 37th in health care, yet the richest men in the world come here for medical treatments. Why not the 36 in front of us?

Crown Prince Sultan returns to Saudi Arabia after prolonged absence for medical treatment

I also see Saudi royal aircraft bringing their kids to Pittsburgh for blood transfusions. Why aren't they going to better Countries? They hate us, but they still come here for treatments. That should tell you something.
