Oh and she has an autoimmune disease... She looses both types of insurance when she turns 18, with a preexisting condition... A lifetime of not being able to pay her bills, (either insurance if the preexisting condition stuff passes) or the actual doctor (if the legislation doesn't pass.) Many people like her, they need the hand up... Otherwise they will live with hand outs their entire lives.

My daughter has government insurance and blue cross blue shield. Blue cross is by far the bigger pain in the rear... I have had zero problems with her governmental care. However, blue cross blue shield tries to deny every claim... So I am not sure that I buy that argument...

The reality is most of us want single payer. I know not everyone does. However, with about seventy percent of us wanting it, something needs done...
It isn't about the lobbies, other than my senator (Barrasso) was someone that I was generally impressed with. Someone that generally I could agree with. On this subject, he won't even look past politics, If he was to look and have a real argument, even if I didn't agree I would stand up for him. However, he isn't.

What have YOU been smoking? If you REALLY believe this, I've got some swamp land in Florida that I'd like to sell you.

How much money have the unions, the ACLU, the American Socialist groups and other Communists donated to Obama and the Dems to get these Socialist programs (like Govt. Health Care) pushed forward against the will of the people?

He retired, and part of his reasons were that the amount of governmental BS associated with the job had increased to the point where being a doctor was just becoming a chore. For 2 years, he refused to go shopping with us because patients would stop him, tell him how great he was, and complain about the restrictions they had to deal with now in terms of access and quality.

My step-father who was a retired internal medicine doctor in CT, told me the same thing you are saying about medicare. It does not actually cover expenses on a large number of tests. It is extremely cumbersome in terms of paperwork.

I see the trolls have found you. I read the Associated Press reports on the web, and found that democrats are outspending republicans 2 to 1 for their bill. I appreciate actual information on the bill, rather than the name-calling above. I found the bill on the web, and I'm going thru it 20 pages at a time.

Washington Post - The hirings are part of a record-breaking influence campaign by the health-care industry, which is spending more than $1.4 million a day on lobbying in the current fight, according to disclosure records. And even in a city where lobbying is a part of life, ... For example, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) doubled its spending to nearly $7 million in the first quarter of 2009, followed by Pfizer, with more than $6 million.
