Obama used it in the health care bill. It was used in the health care law. What is Obamas doing to R country. Dhimmitude, Never heard the word Till now. Google it, It's on page 107 of the healthcare bill. It is a REAL word. Dhimmitude Dhimmitude: the Muslim system of controlling non-muslim populations conquered through jihad. It is the TAXING of non-muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam.

Good information. Gratuitous "background" music adds no value, is obtrusive.

This isnt a dem or rep issue. Obama's plan looks like He's backed off the public option and it forbids negotiations for lower drug plans. Its great for private insurance because there looking to pick up 47,000 new captive customers.And drug companies can continue to charge whatever they want.

Medicare is an example of single payer. Medicare never interferes with the doctor patient relationship and you can see any doctor you want. In Medicare doctors stay in private pratice only the govt pays the bills.

The public option is actually more complex than what Massachusetts has in place. It has the exact same ideas and more. Google this:

flat-rate no-limit primary care

There are systems doctors have come up with where you don't need the government OR insurance companies dictating your health options. It's way better, cheaper, you get better care, nobody is pushed away and doctors are happier.

The Boston Globe did a wonderful piece on health care in Massachusetts.. There are multiple reasons for Massachusetts health care quality going down and its not due to the public option..

In Germany and Canada you are also not free like we are in America, and some of us like to decide what we want. Not what the government wants for us.

Germany (as most of EU countries) has global health care and and is ranked among the best health care systems in the world. A global health care system has disadvantages only the people who make money from it. I cant belive how much nonsens is given in the US media. God, US ppl are so dissinformed, all you people know is that the global health care system is bad because it doesnt work in Canada.
