Aren't we better off spending our money on healthcare than the war in Iraq?  I mean Republicans have had no problem shipping American tax dollars abroad, why not keep some of them here?  Its not like healthcare is like passing out free TV's or something to everybody, it is something that people should be able to access regardless of how rich or poor they are.

 

 

we have socialized heath care... it's used by Veterans... if you google that I'm sure you'll find the countless horror stories.  This county doesn't need socialized health care... it needs someone to start kicking some asses up at these companies that keep screwing us over... insurance and pharmisudicals(sp?)

Which is why the current healthcare system will remain relatively intact.  The only thing that will change is that insurance companies won't be able to price gouge people and discriminate in who they offer coverage to.

It's a fine line Obama is trying to walk and frankly, I think it's going to fail.

Stop price-gouging? Then expect diminished care. More regulation? Expect companies to provide the absolute bare minimum, even more than they do now. If the going gets really rough, expect some companies to bow out of the business entirely, straining those who are left even more.

It's a tough situation and there's no easy solution. I know I'll be watching intently to see how Obama deals with the situation.
