Yeehaw. Government run health insurance. It can't be any worse than anything else they run.
The only thing that is run well by the government is the military.
Thankyou to those that are serving or have served. I owe you my liberty.
I guess from that explanation, which is more speculative in nature, I need to do some research of my own to see what's around the corner. I'll report back what I find.
Might be an option, it is not the same country anymore. I don't feel like a citizen and it surely is not the greatest country anymore. A sad day.
News to me about the taxes but then I don't follow this stuff much. Can you point me to where those taxes are discussed. I'd like to learn more about it.
In a 5-4 ruling based on the power of Congress to impose taxes, the nation's highest court preserved the law's "individual mandate" requiring that most Americans obtain health insurance by 2014 or pay a tax. The justices also preserved, with some changes, a provision of the law expanding the Medicaid health insurance program for the poor.
Are you contributing to a 401k or IRA? New tax for that coming soon! You have Dental Insurance? You have Mental Health Insurance? You have Accidental Life Insurance? What about substance abuse insurance?
Serious question to the Vets here. How is this ongoing debacle going to affect VA care?
As with most things, you can have something cheap, you can have it fast, or you can have quality, but you only get to chose two of the three...
If socialized healthcare anywhere else is an example you can expect rationing, long wait times and a severe drop in quality... which is why most of the European countries are starting to swing toward free market healthcare.
As far as dropping your private insurance, you might want to wait until after November. If the GOP doesn't win, then I would go ahead and enlist in the govt option...

I'm a health care professional-paramedic- as is my wife-RN/paramedic, and my comment is this. If you think health care was expensive before, wait until its free. If Gov't healthcare is so good in all the other countries, why do they all come here to live and to get medical care.
All the rhetoric I'm hearing is how this will greatly help the poor. Healthcare right now is free here for the poor, simply walk into any ER anywhere and this will be evident. So, if we are going to pay for something that we are already paying for, what will be be paying for?
You won't see your taxes go up if you make under 200k...I thought this was supposed to be free?How can it possibly be free?
tort reform
interstate sales of insurance
repeal of government mandated coverage
require drug companies to sell products for the same cost in USA that they do overseas
How's that for a start. All these have been shot down by congress in the past.
