But there's nothing altruistic about universal health care. In fact, that's just the result of people not wanting to pay for their own health insurance like they do for car or homeowner's insurance.

Why not just expand Medicaid instead of coming up with grand plans of nationalizing health care?

And watch the republican complaints avalanche...

  • if you force people to buy health care they take you to court on the grounds of constitutionality...meantime they profess individual responsibility
  • If you cut medicare to lower costs as they did with MA....OMG they are cutting your medicare (even if they then pass a budget that essentially kills it)
  • if you recommend best practices panels to curb costs or EOL couseling...they are instituting death panels
  • if you expand medicaid...it's another government give away and the government is good at nothing it does, and it's rife with abuse, etc...etc...

How do you get anything done amid this cacophony....?
