Jacob Hacker: "Fixing America's Healthcare System" (3 of 3) Tides Momentum 2008

All the problems he cites would only be saved by single payer.

The public option has already failed in more than a few states.

He cites the rest of the world, but most of them use some form of single payer, not adding another insurance company to the 1300 that already don't work.

It is not the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all americans have health care. Lets take it back to the basics. The federal government is responsible for defence. Thats all. The people will take care of themselves if the government quits taking all of the money away by taxing them to death for programs such as this. The government assumes Americans are all stupid. Ask yourself. Am I that stupid? Could I come up with a better way? Thats called capitalism.

Yes you are that stupid. In the first place, you need to learn how to spell. In the second place the present system is bankrupting the country and just making the insurance companies weathy. In the third place unless you make over a quarter of a million a year (which I doubt, since you sound far too stupid) your taxes will probably go down, you'll get better health care and you'll live longer. In the fourth place "It's the right thing to do"!
