    It's easy to say healthcare is free in other countries but gloss over the tax rates that are paid to help subsidize everything ...

    No question that healthcare can be significantly better in this country (particularly from a price component) ... but centralizing it in a government system that is overrun with bureaucracy, fraud, and no motivation to minimize costs is not the answer.

    Did you miss the part where taxes go up, but insurance premiums are eliminated?

    I think you missed that part.

    The money argument is a loser. To the tune of $5-9 trillion. And if you think insurance companies aren't overrun with bureaucracy, well I just can't help you.

    Why are you so smart and Obama so dumb? He let the insurance companies write the bill AFTER it was passed.
