Single Payer what a F ing joke!

Single payer=more gevernment and much higher taxes!

[fingerstylefan]

If any of "YA'LL" want a perfect example of what government run health care will like.....LOOK AT THE VA SYSTEM

I've lived in Canada my entire life and have literally never met anyone who wasn't deeply proud of our public system. We do not regard our taxes as onerous; our government spends less money on health care here than the American government. We are a happy, healthy people with high quality lives and relatively low tax rates. Sorry to say, we consider the whole debate in the US absurd.

Do doctors don't want single payer?

How do you force doctors to do something they don't want to do?

[SouthernBadBoy2008]

I DISAGREE, A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM WOULD LOWER COST FOR THE AVG. AMERICAN. IN ADDITION, THIS WOULD REDUCE THE EXPENSE FOR ALL EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES.

DON'T BELIEVE REPUBLICANS THEY ARE LYING TO THE MASS. I AM AN INDEPENDENT AND I DISAGREE WITH THE LIES THAT REPUBLICANS ARE TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT TAXES AND SOCIALISM.

I am from Canada I don't have a problem with the health care system here

videos on youtube show people who can't pay being dumped on the curb by US hospitals.

by comparison America's health care system ranks alongside Zambia's

37th in the world but the insurance companies and big pharma are getting fat.

[Dumpster510]

have you ever even talked to anyone from Canada? their system is absolutely bankrupt, and altogether a disaster. I know someone whose mother died in a canadian hospital HALLWAY because there weren't enough doctors and funds to pay for her. When gov't takes something over it gets a budget. Budget=limited amount of care=rationed care/decreased quality care. You can't add 50 million ppl to a system and not add doctors or nurses or hospital staff. Grow up and read a book that's not from a leftist UC

sebelius was a joke when she was the insurance commissioner and then the governor of KS. KS couldn't get rid of her soon enough.

NOTHING is free. free health care means higher taxes for ALL people.

[blindonion]

Government run healthcare is good only for the lazy, freeloading, deadbeats, who are too lazy or unmotivated to provide for themselves and their families. And it's not FREE, it comes from people who are productive members of our society who provide for themselves and their families and pay taxes. If you want government healthcare that bad the pop the US Government tit out of your mouth and please go to Canada or better yet Cuba.

[cicsasus]

Single payer system is what the smelly unwashed lame and lazy liberals want.

[dave777blaster]

IT isn't rocket science

Canada and others already have a system

do the same or something similar

working with what you've got is saying we are going to protect the instrance companies.

big money has bought all of your senators congressmen and president.

bought and paid for to do what they are told while the American people get the shaft
