If nobody believes in it, then why pass it? Maybe to massage the egos of Reid, Obama, and Pelosi. Obama's belief in a single payer health care system. Which countries have that are

economically sound? Britain, Canada, and Cuba. They aren't economically sound. Will we? No. Why? because countries with

state-run health care systems, just aren't. Would you like the

same government that ran the Postal Service, Amtrak, and Conrail, into the ground, to do the same with the health care

system? I wouldn't. The head of the Canadian Medical Association said last summer that Canada needs to be more like the the United States. The Netherlands recently opened up its health care system to private insurance companies. Why not allow the private sector do this? Here's my plan for health care reform: First, do what Chile did, and privatize the Social System, second, put a cap on the nebulous "pain and suffering" damages that juries love to award like they're candy canes at Christmastime, it called tort reform, you congressional retards, and it works, third, allow people to buy insurance policies across state lines, fourth, allow people to invest some of their Social Security checks, especially those in their twenties, and thirties, in the stock market, and lastly, allow for interstate competition. It's just common sense. But common sense isn't all that common in Washington, is it?

Joe, you are right Charles numbers were a little off, but your numbers are also off. Actually the cost over the first ten years the benefits are fully paid out are roughly $2.5 trillion. Divide that by 31 million and you get over $80,000 per person or roughly $8,000/year/person. I am currently paying less then that for a family of four so yes we certainly could find cheaper insurance then what they are proposing.

Here is a better idea. A simple one page bill allowing people to buy insurance across state lines that wouldn't cost the gov't one dime would likely increase insurance coverage by over ten million, decrease insurance costs by billions and probably in the trillions over ten years, and thus jump start our economy, which will help in many other ways. Obviously there would have to be some other things that could be done but this one simple thing would do far more then the current 2000 page bill at a dramatically lower cost. Then we could focus on the people that truly need help as well as focus on the inefficiencies of our current gov't controlled third party payer system.
