@broggi007 Well what is the forced purchasing of private insurance..Do you think that is Constitutional? It's Constitutional to have the States run healthcare insurance.Everyone down there blabs about the constitution and nobody has read it. I don't mean to be rude but I couldn't care less about your constitution. Why should I. We have "The Charter Of Rights And Freedoms".I've read much of your constitution however ,and it has been walked on to the point that it is unrecognizable

@broggi007 After all this you think we have "Government Healthcare" OK as Jim Carrie says in Pet Detective..........Bye Bye now...........

@broggi007 Provide sources..let me count the ways...Bankruptcies due to medical bills increased by nearly 50 percent in a six-year period, from 46 percent in 2001 to 62 percent in 2007, and most of those who filed for bankruptcy were middle-class, well-educated homeowners, according to a report that will be published in the August issue of The American Journal of Medicine.

@tindallpe - You can't "make" there be more private clinics. People have to be incentived to open more private clinics. You can't just close your eyes, say a spell, and magically appears more private clinics. Canada is already moving away from government healthcare into more private system... makes perfect sense.

@broggi007 Are you understanding what I said ? Private clinics do NOT require Government funding....are you with me so far?...So why the hell would they require taxation HHMM? If we chose to.....ok.?."We could allow for the operation of more PRIVATE clinics" which would take pressures of the system..Are you with me on that or...no?

[broggi007]

@tindallpe - Right... take a shit on our Constitution and make everyone do something they don't want. haha.. you have to be an American to understand how serious we take our Founding documents

[broggi007]

@tindallpe - lifetime maximums are so high that virtually no one reaches them.

[tindallpe]

@brog07 Agree completely..except Mass. wouldn't have had as many problems if EVERY state had single payer,and the insurance co./middlemen were removed nationwide. Hey,got a couple of bills here from taking my kid tothe ER when she bonked her head. X-ray & EKG (EKG...why?) About 10 min of Dr. time. Radiologic = 35.00, ER exam = 753.00 ER visit = 1701.07.Not worth filing on health insurance..2000.00 deductible,then they pay 80% Turned out nothing was wrong with her,just a small cut
