>>> see how his reporting is biased.

If you want to discuss reporter bias, we could have a half dozen threads on that subject.

When you see a legitimate conversation between a cardiologist and his patient discussing someone else having to vacate a hospital bed before the patient can have one, and the discussion of 24 hours waits in ERs, I think it tells the story.

>>> What is it doing to include it's own citizens that can't come close to affording the $14,400.00 per year in premiums that you are paying?

My wife & I are self-employed old people, I'm not in great health, and frankly, I think 1,200/month is a damned bargain (although, I've found something a good bit cheaper I'm moving to).

But if they create a public option where I can have reasonable coverage for $200/month, you can bet I'm going to be first in line to get my taxpayer subsidy. Not because it is the right thing to do for the country, but because I'm getting tired of doing the right thing only to see half the country living off the other half's hard work. I'm going to become a taker just like everyone else.
