What Hatch and republicants don't want to admit is that there is already a large bureaucracy between doctor and patient, it's the insurance industry. Given a choice would you prefer a government bureaucrat who will err on the side of the best healthcare or an insurance company that is going to deny coverage and err on the side of maximizing profit?

@DNSKansas Do you even know what socialism is you mouth-breathing fuckwit?

Orrin Hatch is afraid of the competition because he and his party might not get as much money from the lobbyists.... Oh shit.

Single payer system and electronic records would save $500 billion alone. Put all the other parts of the Affordable Care Act into effect. Public Option also and we can cover everyone. Every other industrial country has universal healthcare. We are now 17th in health care. People die everyday without healthcare and go bankrupt. Millions of people not covered and can't go to a doctor. Insurance Companies are for profit and ripping people off.

Americans must be daft

they spend more than the combined spending of the rest of the world in military

and can't even offer their people medicare

to add insult to injury since the majority of Americans don't rise up to protest

the govt of Gw Bush spent 28 trillion dollars bailing out the have mores

while the have nots are told we will soon have to take your ss , sa cheks and medicare.are Americans really this stupid why are you not up in arms?

[Heyde1979]

Sanders does not have a plan all he does is complain about poverty and does not realize that there a poeple who do not want to work and what is he going to about that

@MetalDetroit we are surprised when students in poor areas do worse than the rich students whose schools are funded way better. As i made in my previous point the majority of government hand outs go to the corporations, who have done an awful job of job creation. You also set up an argument based on a vast generalization. I am not even just talking about the poor, the middle class is disintegrating. I think it is not the poor who should look in the mirror.
