    Why would we want to provide coverage for everyone and reduce our burden by 50%? Single payer is scary! Why add thousands of dollars per capita into other sectors of the economy when we can pay for 50 layers of bureaucratic inefficiencies at insurance companies?

    Yeah the US government is far more efficient. Holy shit!
    It literally is, Medicare is way more efficient than private insurance.

    Here are a couple highlights:

    Medicaire's spending grows at a slower rate than private insurance premiums (4.3% per year vs 6.5%).

    It's administrative costs are tiny compare to private insurance also (2% of expenditures vs 17% of revenue).

    Are you under the impression that paying medical billing coders, insurance adjusters etc is a good use of health care spending?
    You are confusing people with facts again. Stop that shit.

    Medicare 2015: More doctors rejecting medicare patients

    And yet every single country with universal health care spends less than the US per capita, most more than 50%.

    Medicare and Obningo care are both rife with billions in fraud every year. I guess it's efficient at false claims.

    You think this is because their system is more efficient, or because their culture isn't full of mountain dew drinking cheeto eaters playing Warcraft in their mom's dads' basement? No offense to present company, of course.

    Obamacare is a shitty product, but acting like the Republicans have taken the high road on healthcare is so fucking laughable that I'm not even going to go into it. Look back to the Bush-era prescription drug handout for a little taste.

    Pass single payer and raise the tax ceiling for fucks sake and join the rest of the civilized world.

    Is cute how nearly every part of your life is traxed yet you think more needs to be paid.
    He's obviously young, not white and rich.

    Obama care was written and ready to go prior to Obingo being president. Written by the Apollo Alliance. You can look them up, quite interesting.

    It has to fail. We can not afford it. We are not entitled to health care at others expense. Get over it.



    The first part is right.

    I haven't heard of the Creed Alliance, so I'm guessing that 's some Birther BS.
