Public Option or French Revolution. Democrats cannot blame Republicans anymore, so if they dont deliver that means we are no longer represented.. In that case violent uprising is the only way forward.

How to pay for it? Not by employee mandates, which is killing off small buisness. How about close 50% of our overseas military bases, and use that to pay for some version of single payer?

The health care industry is a house of cards, built on sand, and the health ins industry is a scheme, raking health care dollars off the top, and paying off members of congress, both dems and repubs.

Fin and health crisis not solved, looks more and more like Bush third term to me.

1- Take over the insurance companies through eminant domain. That will pay for the system over the next 10 years.

2- Don't let anyone involved with insurance companies into the new system

The US is going to need a lot of health care when this happens: " 7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living being say, Come! 8 I looked up and saw a horse whose color was pale green. Its rider was named Death, and his companion was the Grave.[d] These two were given authority over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and famine and disease[e] and wild animals."

Revelation 6:7.

That happens after the treaty with Israel is signed.

Surrender your life to Jesus!!

Classic politics. People so busy calling things socialist or conservative. DO WHAT WORKS. The U.S. has the worst healthcare in the industrialized world right now, and yet you redneck idiots come on here and defend this terrible system. How are we gonna pay for it? How do we stand paying for all this waste our current system generates?

finding middle ground means taking a small step closer to socialism instead of a big leap.

The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened." Norman Thomas

I have a series called Standing Firm where I discuss topics like this. If you would like to see more, click jdlaporte001 above and subscribe.

The capalitalists are sweating in their boots They can see there money going down the toilet. Get a public plan!! Don't let these greedy bastards stop it and spread propaganda against health care for everyone.

Lets go America. Get a national medical system like Canada. Before anyone bashes the Canadian health care system, do some real research. I have never waited for any service here in Canada.
