Here in Missouri I have been seeing a lot of ads paid for by the insurance companies trying to scare the folks who are on medicare. They obviously view the public option as a guge threat. I say to hell with the insurance companies.

[integral]

Oh yes, shd, I'm sure that would work.

And so your answer to all those uninsured and those who lose their insurance is

drop dead.

Mr.Wener or Weiner

If we pay say $300.00 a month , thats $3600.00 a year . Then you have a deducts of say $2500.00 up front that you pay before insurance kicks in. Thats $6100.00 dollars a year you pay , or $508.00 a month . Government Insurance starting to look pretty good isn't it ....LOL....Lets vote yes and buy a new car with our new found money.....

If we have no faith in our government, then it's time for the wildebeests to turn on the lions. And I think that time is rapidly approaching us.

[mrbhave]

I'm referring to colleges, not grade schools.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

it is crony capitalism. corporatist fascism. the whole system is broken. i dont understand why anyone believes any promise made to them by any government official? i dont understand why anyone has faith in any government program after consistent failures and i dont understand why people cant understand what they are trying to do with the public option is cover up another of their failures in the bankrupt medicare.

[mrbhave]

That's a risk we run with every fact of government. Just have a look at the local/national news. You can find at least one political corruption story every day.

If it were up to me, I would keep the government out of most of the economy. But we taxpayers are paying subsidies for all sorts of things (farms, medicine, banks, automobiles, etc.) to prop up our "capitalist" society. It's a farce on its face. And so long as we're paying, I want to something for my money. Fair enough?

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

ok great now we are getting somewhere. democrats and republicans are tag teaming america. i would be open to a single payer system but the way the government is going about it will only bring fraud and more corruption so in my opinion using incrementalism is pointless. the system of government is far too corrupt for us to be taking on these problems now because the mafia is in control and will make sure the legislation suits their interests. we know that reform will not be for the people.

[mrbhave]

I cannot argue with you on that one.

[mrbhave]

In case you haven't noticed, despite the fact that 1300 different insurance companies exist in this country, most regions are controlled by one or two companies. So the theoretical doom and gloom that you're proposing under a public option already exists.

If the government pushes out private profiteers, we might all finally get a huge sigh of relief that we don't have pay 30% more than we should for our health care, just so some loser CEO can receive a $25 million dollar annual salary.

re: mrbhave

He meant to use the word Corporatist

Which actually doesn't have anything to do with the word Corporation

Rather it has to do with the latin Corpus, or Body.

Basically those who believe that multi-lateral negotiation between interested parties can achieve more optimal results.

(In accordance with the Nash equilibrium principle)

And the answer is, yes, I do believe in Corporatism.

Unions, for instance, are a good example of Corporatism.
