“Since you’ve read and studied the Bill, I would like to hear your thoughts on why you think it is good for the entire country, and those parts in it you find troubling and would like to see addressed further.”

I prefer a single payer. Yet this bill is very good as it provides competition to the insurance industry. Face the facts. Medicare works pretty darn good. You don’t hear any one wanting to do away with it, now do you?

“I am unwilling to “settle” for something less than what it should be.”

It’s not perfect by any means. Again I favor a single payer. And we all know that ain’t happening. A public plan is the next best thing.

“Maybe that’s because I’m being asked to pay for it.”

You are paying for our health care system now. Twice what the rest of world pays. For the same level of care.
