You know what?

Go ahead and let the states decide if they want single payer health care. But at the same time, give the states the option of kicking the govt. out of health care all together and unleash the free market.

Then lets sit back and watch the people flee the single payer states searching for better health care in the free market states.

We always thought the 1984, big brother scenario would be manifest by decrees of the hard right....as it turns out, as in the wild, animals only fall into traps they think are a reward. So the left brings about the very thing they feared, they give birth to the new technocracy, elitism and disempowerment at its finest, all in the name of social justice and equality. Pawns.

@WindRider707 Very well said - today's left appears to want to create their own version of a Brave New World that limits the rights of the individual and, hypocrtically, has become the antithesis of what we fought to change in the 60's

We must put the Federal reserve in bankruptcy, which will stop the bailout. There will be no health care until we stop the bailout.

people are so easily convinced to take a pessimistic view over a positive one. there are so many misconceptions people have taken to heart it astounds me. what we need now is not fear for change. we need a positive outlook on the future we shape. get over this petty bullshit about socialism, its what the corporation thunk up to make us the most afraid. we must not allow ourselves be denied what we deserve, health care for all... not just the rich.

[LaRoucheisright]

LaRouche says we need a single payer system to make sure everything would work. But first dump the HMOs.

Well put. I might have to paraphrase this.
