Hospitals that have a patient load with a high percentage of Medicare/Medicaid patients lose money. The government sets prices low and the hospitals have no recourse. When government healthcare drives out all the private payers, your healthcare quality will go down. Overworked, underpaid staff; old failing equipment; cheaper low-quality supplies; rationed procedures; on and on it will go. Regulations increase, finances decrease - a set up for diminishing quality. Free high-quality healthcare for all is an illusion. People are willing to pay more per month for their cable TV and cell phone plan than they are for healthcare. The Democrats' plan for socialized medicine will destroy our healthcare system.

Do we need reform of our health insurance system or our health care system? If insurance, then we need to somehow decouple health insurance from employment, have some kind of guaranteed insurability, and make it affordable. Government can pass laws that would promote these basic changes that would be carried out by the privatee free market sector through competition for subscribers. If our heath care system needs reform why don't we see how things look after insurance is "reformed." Our health care system is far too complex for any one entity like the federal government to fix or run. I remain confused. Do we need reform of our health insurance system or our health care system?

Several states have attempted to achieve the goal of universal coverage. To my knowledge, none have succeeded, and several that have tried have found the expense unsustainable to the point of, more or less, giving up on the attempt: e.g. see TennCare in Tennessee. Those supporting a federal attempt to achieve universal coverage need to explain why failures at the state level would not be replicated at the national level. Ok.

You're 60 and have cancer? See ya! Hope you enjoyed your mediocre care during your life, but you no longer qualify for treatment of any kind.

I don’t care what kind of label you put on it, but the richest country in the world should provide free health care from the cradle to the grave of all citizens, period. Of course the Republicans would be against that, the one thing we know about them is that they do not care about the middle class, the working class, the poor, or non whites." Well you're just a freakin' idiot, aren't ya? How exactly does this "free" thing work? Drs work for free, till they starve to death? Medical equipment companies work for no profit and donate their goods? Really, please explain how it's free. Because what it looks like is those of us paying taxes will pay for the care of everyone else. Free to some, in other words. Quadruple the cost for 1/4 the care for the rest of us, IF we're lucky. And by the way, we're low-middle class and our last name is Sanchez. Please do not presume to tell me I should stop thinking and blindly support the dems just because we happen to fall into a group they arrogantly assume they own. It's insulting. After all, it's not like anyone is ever poor because of their own stupid life decisions is it? We shouldn't judge, oh no. Just happily shell out our dough. “If providing health care for all of our citizens is called socialism, then so be it.
