I'm Canadian. I have socialized medicine. I WILL outlive most Americans because of it. The evidence is in the statistics (see CIA Factbook - online). I will NEVER grow broke or become insolvent over medical bills. Our infant mortality rates are lower than Americans.

Don't have socialized medicine because this would mean too many rednecks will live longer and spawn more stupid children.

%34, is a majority?

& a public option wouldn't mean the government decides your health care, it means you have an OPTION to go for public insurance, instead of a for profit insurance business. I don't get is why people have a problem with a government bureaucrat deciding if you get treatment, but no one minds when an corporate bureaucrat decides.

@porterwake The problem is that even when the majority of the country wants something, the Democrats wont fight for it, they are corporate whores, fucking Clinton sold us out with his BS "triangulation" excuse, he knew what he was doing they move right so did the Reps, & now lefties only vote for the bastards because they have no choice.

@Fuctmentality

The problem is the talking point false rhetoric from the right. They don't understand that private companies would need to provide affordable, quality plans to compete with the public option.

Fox News is the problem....oh and general stupidity.

WRONG AGAIN!

The CBO numers do NOT include unnecessary procedures caused by the insurance and medical industries fear of becomming a victem of the Legal Lottery. That's why all the endless tests and that's why all the settlements.

THE CBO says we owe $10Trillion when we REALLY owe $120Trillion. You believe them? FOOL!

@hellraiserheights

Wrong again!

Communism is the nationalization of all industries in a nation, with a 100% income tax.

Socialism is the CONTROL and REGULATION of all of all industries in a nation, with a gross receipts tax.

Corporatism is the Gov't-Business Partnership wich redistributes from the productive taxpayers to the non-productive corporations which to gain the favor of unions and corporate campaign contributors. YOU KNOW NOTHING!

I think Credit Unions should get into the insurance business. Non-profit health insurance to compete with for profit. Credit unions should start offing health insurance and we don't need the govt. anymore.

[hellraiserheights]

Actually, you need to learn the definition of Socialism. Socialism is the nationalization of all industries in a nation, with a 100% income tax.

Nah, doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon, especially with our government in the pockets of big business.

Tort Reform, according to the Congressional Budget Office, would only reduce our current spending on health by 11 Billion Dollars; in other words, one half of one percent.
