The system I would like the most for the US would be the Swiss system of highly regulated private medical insurance, but we can never have it here because corporations run the government.[/quote]
How true. I think we ALL can agree on this.[/quote]
Yes I think we can. Again, my argument is not against reform. What I am trying to state is that once this is done, it is quite possible that it can NEVER be undone. Thus to say well if we study it and NOTHING gets done then I think it is preferable then getting something done that could very well be worse. I am in agreement that the country is essentially run by corporations. That while the “intent” is to provide competition to existing plans, it is not a stretch that many of these plans will indeed go away.
Take a look at the Hawaii (Obamas birthstate) mandated healthcare and look what happened there.
My argument is not against reform but it IS FOR a well thought out plan.
Once it is done, we will live with it. I would like to get a much better understanding of it.
Here… You have John Conyers himself saying
“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”
So is this what you guys are advocating? The *&*&$# bill is so complex that nimbus congressman are not going to even read it. However yes we must pass it because if we do not then nothing will ever pass. I am just sorry I don’t agree with this philosophy. I am sorry that the govt has fkd up in the past but please just have the guy read the damn bill okay?
