    Trumpy has been mooching off of the taxpayers for the past 20 years, so this helps Trump IMO

    Death panels were the best feature about Obamacare.

    maybe I enjoy paying higher premiums with reduced coverage, higher co-pays and higher deductibles knowing I am helping to support 18-24 year old Syrian refugees, who won't fight for their own country recieve world class healthcare for free. Have you ever thought of that?

    It's time to do away with the insurance companies and their "for profit" model for most health care and enact single payer universal health.

    We can keep the insurance companies for people that want to pay extra for some platinum plated insurance so that you can have a lung transplant when you are 95 and haven't accepted that it time for you to LEAVE.

    There actually is some truth in that.

    I'm not necessarily in favor of a single payer system or death panels - but the amount of money spent in the last days of life is absolutely ridiculous.

    You realize the profit margin for health insurers is around 4% right?

    The fact that the profit margin is only 4% (if true) doesn't mean that the health insurance industry isn't adding a lot to the cost of our national health care. It could be adding 40% to the cost, but still only have a profit margin of 4%. Sounds like you don't understand a lot about how corporations handle expenses such as executive salaries, etc.

    So what's a couple million dollars to a multi billion dollars?

    But the government is so much more efficient.

    Look at the VA you ignorant retard. It's criminal what the government does to our vets. But who cares...sign me up!!!

    Again...we are talking about billions. A couple million to even 20-30 million is nothing when compared to the billions in out going expenses each year. You show me where executive compensation makes up more than 1 percent of total expenses then we can talk.

    You of course realized that if insurance companies don't make a profit, they don't have money to pay large claims. I would much rather have an insurance company that barely squeaks by and then when I need them, don't have money to pay. That's what I like.

    And like Greenblood mentioned, single payer government healthcare sure is working out wonderfully with the VA.

    That's the point. The VA is underfunded and vets shouldn't have to deal with lesser care than what everyone else gets. Single payer solves the VA.

    I like it when someone says something thinking it's helping their point, when in reality, it's making the opposite point.
