If the government would stop giving money and trying to provide healthcare to sorry, no good, lazy, piece of shit people that do not want to work because there to fuxkin lazy to get out and find a job then this country would be a lot better off!!! If the government would drop welfare & unemployment the unemployment rate would drop tremendously!!!!! There's jobs out there but hey why work when you could make more off the government?

The old saying "follow the money" applies to America's problems when it is changed to "follow the government regulation". As Milton Friedman said, I'm paraphrasing from his energy policy lecture, where is the crisis, the crisis is where government creates it. Morally and economically people should be left free to decide what doctor they want to see and how they want to pay for their medical care without government involvement.

RIGHT NOW, Cato is trying to resist takeover by Koch. They are trying to raise awareness so that Koch's influence won't reign over them. You have no idea what you're talking about you fucking idiot. Jump off a bridge; I hope you die.

Even if his plan could lower the prices, even if by a long shot it works to make patient care something doctors care about again ... we still have extremist politicians who are against certain types of care, when they get into power again (and they will) ... imagine what procedures they would restrict and how many people they would allow to die just because of their beliefs. At least now you can choose insurance that covers what you need.
