[KINGS17]

I don't remember this idea lowering the cost of my auto insurance.

You will take this insurance and like this insurance. Better make your appointment for the MRI right away before this happens.

[Crapgame13]

I agree people should have to buy medical insurance or not get treated

...oh wait, that's not what that means?

[go]

Single payer system is the only one that will work for those that want everyone to have insurance.

To right wing Republicans who only care about themselves, no idea will work.

[Mr. Irreverent]

Don't tell me what to do Bitch!

[homersimps]

You do not have to use, but you will be paying for it.

[homersimps]

Why don't you sit right there.

[KINGS17]

I hope my business is small enough to continue buying the insurance I have right now, and get that subsidy.

I need to hire a professional to lobby for me.

[Kubrick]

This is awful. Kucinich is the only candidate who has it right. Universal, Single-Payer, Not-For-Profit Health Care for all.

Stop listening to Republican talking points.

This plan is EXTREMELY different that what she proposed years ago in two ways:

#1) Her last plan was much more "liberal" in nature. Most analysts believe she swung too far to the conservative side to make this work, either.

#2) The public has different perceptions on healthcare. Premiums weren't running through the roof over a decade ago. People weren't falling off the insured curve like they are now.

20/20 had a whole segment on health care last week and had some good points about all the different options/ideas.

We pay thousands of dollars every year in different taxes for things we don't use. Whats one more thing, right?

John Stossel is a corporate apologist no matter what his libertarian rhetoric is.

We can do what every other developed country is doing. Namely, single payer health coverage.

Aren't you the first one to bring up the "don't attack the messenger, attack the message" defense when you post something?

Or we can learn from other developed nations and not make some of the same mistakes they've made. Just saying "single payer coverage" sounds nice but the fact is there are problems in those other developed countries' systems and it would be stupid to adopt them and think everything will be wonderful and we'll all hold hands singing Joni Mitchell songs.
