It won't fix anything because of our outrageous costs, it will drive us broke just paying for it.

We pay for health care now, we just do it privately and expensively.
I don't know why a collective option would be more expensive.

It won't per person, as a whole though it will be, but that's not even the problem with healthcare, the cost IS the problem. If we actually stopped the over-regulation through mafia-groups like the FDA and AMA the price will drop since there won't be anyone they have to bribe anymore and there will be actual competition.
Personally, I'm in favor of every American being taken care of, medically. I don't know if Obama's plan will be the solution, but we shouldn't allow American's to suffer when relief is available. This isn't to say they shouldn't pay for it, or that illegals should get a free ride on tax payers backs, just that people dying or suffering shouldn't be an American virtue.

Amanda, as it stands now each American can get medical even if they do not have insurance. So we do not have people dying in the streets. But, aftercare is affected and so is prescription care.
Our current system needs fixed. It clearly has problems. However, the Obama and liberal plan is overkill and is not going to be the correct answer.
With that said, I'm not sure that the GOP proposals are the best answers either.

The only way to lower medical costs in any significant fashion is to either A Remove the lawyers from the system, B. Remove the bureaucrats from the system, C. Limit access D. Limit technology.
Obama Care at least initially will do none of the above. It will almost certainly add more bureaucrats. You really can't limit technology with out adding even more lawyers to a system that is already up to it's neck in them. So eventually you will find that option C. is the choice and that usually comes at the expense of old folks. As in france where as you get older you are denied access to more and more life saving care.
You are dillusionall if you think socialzed medicine has never been successful. Other countries do it quite successfully. In fact, when compared to the US, the cost is less and more individuals get better quality of care. Of cousre, you have to research the FACTS to know this and not rely on right wing talking points

First define success ............ then list the countries!

I don't pretend to have any answers. I don't know what the solution is. I just think that as Americans we need to take care of our own. I know anyone can go to an emergency room and get treated but there is so much more than that. 1 of my friends works in a pharmacy and the stories she can tell would just break your heart. People go without the meds they need because they simply can't afford them and their insurance won't cover them. The insurance companies seem to place profit over human life. I'm all for capitalism, I think it's the best system for giving high quality products to people. And I'm all for people earning their way. But still... things happen, and people can't foresee what will come. Most of the stories she tells me are about older people. These are good people that have done their part to make America a good and decent place and now they are pushed aside and left to suffer. No 1 should suffer when there is a way to help them.

Ever been to an Italian or Costa Rican hospital ? it has worked fairly well here for 60 years but we budget for health care rather than sending 560 million to IsNtreal and invading sovereign nations.
My health care covers both private and public institutions.Dental too. $65 a month.
I spent over 40 grand up in that hell hole trying to get rid of chronic tachycardia since my deductible was 10 grand and the payments a tad over $400 a month.
2 little pills a day, non FDA "approved". Free. No tachycardia in 3 years.
Damned socialists.![]()
