Let's say your right about the economic aspects of the bill. What about....

The billions it will cost to incorperate the system into all the health facilities that nobody talks about?

The legal expenses and time lost to make sure everything is ok with the govt.?

The loss of freedom to do what you want with your money?

The fact that health care providers are already fed up with the amount of red tape and paper work and who will quit their jobs?

Loss of incentives for new doctors?

If you Google "Qliance health", it pulls up an article by the Seattle newspaper which lists what they do not cover, which is catastrophic disease coverage, hospitlization and anything that is major medical expense; patients do not get free medicine as they would under a single-payer system, nor are they covered for the main reason why Americans are going bankrupt, which is major medical expense the for-profit insurance refuses to pay. QLIANCE IS IN NO WAY A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION.

What do 90% of the people use in terms of medical insurance? Primary care. Why do people get catastrophic illnesses? They wait until it becomes one because of high primary care costs. Are you listening to the doctors? That's where I got that information from.

[richardaberdeen]

I didn't say this was a bad thing. I said it is not a solution to America's health care problems. You don't know what you're talking about. I personally know many people with expensive medical problems; most of them are due to accident or inherited diseases. You need to go to a few ADAPT rallies, where you will meet hundreds of people in wheelchairs and you could just as eaisly be one of them. Apparently you've never heard of inherited disease, car crashes or random acts of violence.

[animateclay]

Honestly, does something like this that helps 90% of the population really appear to be a bad thing? Are you guys just arguing against this for argument sake? How is this bad? Wow - can't believe you guys can be against something that helps the majority so simply, cheaply and doesn't involve regulation of anyones rights in any way. You're a tough crowd.

continuing - based on the article I read, Qilance covers normal doctor primary physician care. The main problems in the U.S. health care system are not related to primary physician care; rather, for-profit care leaves the people who need health care the most to fend for themselves. I don't think you have a grasp on the larger health care equation of expensive hospitalization costs, cancer treatments, transplants, multiple schlerosis to name but a few.

[amsvisa]

I am not against doctors teaming up to beat the system. I'm in favor of a single-payer system, which entirely eliminates the problem Qliance is trying to bypass. Unfortunately, Qliance is about patient primary care, does not include expensive cancer and other treatments that can run in excess of 250K per year or hospital costs. There is no for-profit model that will adequately insure a large population; Qilance is a tiny system compared to population size and only covers part of health care

[dogblessamerica]

Yes Richard. Great video. You know your stuff and have a keen sense of compassion - something we are seeing sorely lacking in America right now, with the right wing pundits seemingly succeeding in whipping up fear and confusion over this proposed health bill (which may pave the way to a single payer system, if the vested interests can be overcome).

[animateclay]

You didn't read about Qliance obviously

[amsvisa]

This is all right-wing propaganda talking points. France, Germany, Japan, Sweden and several other nations have much better health care than we do. They don't have 50 million citizens with no health care and 120 million more with inadequate care. They don't throw patients out of ambulances onto Skid Row, they don't cut people off with catastrophic illnesses. In short, they are sane governments; we are CRAZY !!! Disease is contaious; not takihng care of sick people endangers all-get real !!!

[animateclay]

Check out Qliance, they have a model for health care that doesnt require the government or insurance. It also makes everyone happier in the end. All this politics just gets in the way - forget the liberals and conservatives, just tell your doctors about how Qliance is doing it and that you want that also.
