The U.S. Health Care Debate

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I don't understand this line of reasoning. At its most radical, the Dem proposal would put maybe five million people into a government sponsored insurance exchange. The much-dreaded "public option." And yet somehow this means we're going to become like Great Britain, where every medical professional is an employee of the state, where a truly socialist system of healthcare is entrenched?

This is utter Rubbish, and the mind boggels as to how the American media continues to press this. My Dentist is private, for example. I go once a year, pay up front and even my parents (who have horrific teeth) consider it cheap and worthwile.

Your system is totally broken, but it isn't to do with the public/private issue.
