    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.
    It is sad that you think money paid for health services is evil if it is paid via taxes instead of through insurance premiums, even if the total amount spent is lower by removing the insurance company profit.
    Fifth!

    Imagine actually believing that the government can provide services more efficiently than the free market, because "pr0fit!!!111!!"...lol profit is the reason WHY it's more efficient.

    The 20 countries that have all done it, disagree with your blind faith in the invisible hand when it comes to health care services.

    Not always the case with insurers, who eat up close to 70% of every dollar on overhead before paying claims. While I'm a free-market capitalist 'til the end, insurance companies are the closest things to government bureaucracies the private sector has. And many laws mandate that we buy their product. So, not the best example of private vs government provided product or service.


    Hmmmmm. I wonder what the problem might be?

    Just because they've all done it doesn't mean it wouldn't be more efficient if they hadn't.
