Single payer all the way. Kill the private insurance any day!

There should be a new law: congress cannot pass a law they don't have to live out. Example: illegal to pass a new healthcare plan unless they have to use it too. Instant fix to america.

Anybody who thinks the govt run health care

will improve the quality and bring costs down.

is sadly mistaken..Obama doesn't want to fix the system, he wants to dismantle the

private sector piece by piece.

The Democrats want to convert a #1 health care system into a third rate system. If their system is so good for America, why don't they sign up for it?  You know they will still have their privileged health care system why the peasants get the third rate one.

We all know that that will never happen. People in general do only the bare minimum when their told that they have to do something. He understands this. That's why we have the IRS. If we waited for our government to be funded by donors, it would get nowhere. Guess what sort of infrastructure we'd have then?! *Roadways that are paid for by tax dollars are built by contractors who consistently cheat on process and materials. Those business owners don't have much oversight. Wasted tax dollars.

Guys like Warren Buffett can always pay more into the government than they owe. Do they do that? If they really believe that their taxes should be higher, then what's stopping them from raising taxes on themselves to prove they believe what they preach. Remember the old saying: "You can't teach what you don't know, and you can't lead where you won't go."

Thank you. I was basically checking on the context due to the attitude from some that 'blue-collar' people aren't productive. I've already seen it.

Warren Buffett had something to say about taxation. It has to do with the ratio of you societal benefit vs investment.

[oilhammer04]

You presume too much.

[jblcva]

How do you cover, from 10 to 40 million

more people with health care and bring

the price tag down? People will be vacationing in Costa Rica for medical procedures. Many good doctors will leave the practice. Dumb Americans.

The politicians pushing this travesty

through are an insult to any intelligent

person. Take care of the uninsured.

Don't scrap the system for a government

take over...

Ah see, now you get to understand your problem.

I get my news from various media outlets, including some internet sites, newspapers, and some news about what's happening overseas by associates who currently work in McDill.

What I do not get from them is my opinion. I do not regurgitate their words verbatim. I do not pit myself against a whole group of people because some corporate shill told me to do so.

That is the biggest difference between me, and you radicals.
