horsefeathers! no human being is unbiased. you mean to say he is the fairest and least owned...by any ideology or industry. he is a minister, however, and some of his reporting is colored by that - not wholly a bad thing, of course, but we must all be critical consumers.
bill moyers is one of the most respectable (and unbiased) journalists in american history. the media should look to him as an example of "fair and balanced" reporting.
We're really on the same side ... at the end of the day people need care. The question is how we solve the problem. So you (I'm assuming are conservative as am I) believe we simply need to fix the current system. I've lost the ability to have any faith in the fact that can be done. As an engineer I like to work with known parameters. Other countries have solved this problem and done it effectively. All the points you made are true ... and should be addressed regardless.
The largest barrier to competition are the competition.
How exactly are you going to compete against the large insurance companies ... Go ahead ... why not start an insurance company ... see how far you get.

I think I'm going to be sick now. Bill Moyers always has that effect on me. Man, I can't stand him.

This simply isn't true. Believe me, I am NO fan of health insurance companies but there are some real barriers.
First, as the owner of a small business, 20 employees, we are not allowed by federal statute to group together to get discounts like big companies.
Second, you can't purchase insurance across state lines. This REALLY limits our choices here in Tenn.
Third, it is HIGH time to get the lawyers out of the equation by tort reform thereby ending frivilous lawsuits.

I know how to solve the problem. Give the people whom created the problem more power and more money. They will get right this time.

I would love to see health insurance reform, but I truly don't want a nanny state.
Federal govt. programs and regulations are pervasive enough in our lives right now.
I bet if we removed barriers to competition and the LAYERS of bearuocrats, costs would go down.
