The American health status quo needs to change but that doesn't mean that any reform if good reform. Health care should be a right, but it can't be. Unlike other rights, healthcare depends on highly qualified people to provide it. Introducing any kind of government option will eventually lead to total government monopolization of the health system. The cost of health care comes down to the ratio of doctors versus the general population. Reform the current system, don't replace it.

The problem with United States healthcare is too much government intrusion. We have literaly converted it to a facist system where government gets in bed with business. If you simply look at healthcare in the 1950's and compare it to today there has to be something wrong, as the 1950's had great healthcare service but it was entirely private. Now its facist and broken, so more government will only make it worse. Government monopolies suck.

Wow, maybe all these anti-nationalization-of-health care people should give up their insurance and see what its like without it.

So maybe a few socialist countries have it nationalized. But so does almost EVERY DEMOCRATIC country on this Earth.
Caring for your people isn't socialist, its the right thing to do. And thats what our government is supposed to do, take care of us.
How would you like your child,your spouse,or even yourself denied life just because you don't have enough money?

Coecion is wrong so your statement contradicts itself. Nor is nationalized healthcare better. Other countries with national healthcare still send patients to private companies because they dont have the capacity. Ever been to the dmv? Oh yeah, national healthcare will suck.

get a job, then you will have health insurance. Stop being a deabeat looking for a handout and you will find the American dream. It is not for lazy SS it is for the people that contribute to society not for illigals and sponges.

Maybe all these people who don;t have it should get it. And start prioritizing their spending.

Also, a large part of the uninsured are college aged kids. Most people that work can afford healthcare.

I am not saying it is perfect, but I am not for stripping our system into some eurosocialized garbage that kills innovation and quality. That is not the answer clarko

"He is lying at 1:40, it is actually an advantage for the US" No he is not lying..I realize its counter to the usual spin we hear, but what he said is not only true, it's proven in the marketplace, with US companies moving some plants to Canada to pay Canadians higher wages because that still costs them less than paying Us workers (lower wages but huge healthcare costs). Why? Private is more efficient right? No, our privasystem is much less efficient: 20%+ overhead; Medicare? 3% Canada? 1%

He is lying at ~1:40, it is actually an advantage for the US; without universal health coverage tax rates can be lower allowing our companies to charge less and maintain the same profitability as other companies in countries with universal health care.

For someone as old and bald as you are, you really are very childish and ignorant. Midlife crisis? I guess you're not happy that you disproved your own argument.

59% of doctors support legislation to establish a national health insurance program. Only 32% oppose. Check out the Reuters article from March 31, 2008. Titled: Doctors support universal health care: survey

Do you have anything else to contribute besides your homoerotic fantasies? Did you let you're wife know about these feelings?
