The U.S. Health Care Debate

[ICantSpellDawg]

So if you couple that article about lies with the poll that half of all americans believe the lies its not surprising that the level of protest against reform is so loud.
Though apparently that proportion of gullible people increases to 3/4 if you just count people who say they watch fox news

I'm not against reform, I just think that a reform that reform that has a different careless payor is not reform. I like the idea that they've split the bill, though.

I don't have a problem with the Massachussets system that bought basic private plans for those that couldn't afford them. I just want more cost of service transparency and for consumers to have a choice because they feel the heat of overpricing in some way. I don't really even have a problem with a voucher for a free top-to-bottom check-up ever two years paid for by the govt. What I have a problem with is people turning to government every time they have a problem instead of working on the system to make it better. Health insurance is a good thing, but the way in which we use it goes against the concepts that work best and are leading us to hemmorhage out our money on services that are wasteful.

Like it or not, the US has a different path from other nations and I would like to see the free-market aspect work better. If we have to make all private ins co's non-profit to make this happen, so be it. I'l read the article at work.
