re: a) The core cause does not lie solely within the insurance providers.

I don't give a crap about "solely". A large percentage of it does, so you eliminate a large part of the problem.

Do not make the good a victim of the perfect. There is no perfect.

re: b) Even if that were the case, a government takeover would not fix anything. You would only install a legal monopoly with all of its associated problems.

They are only "taking over" the payment system... thus "single payer". They control a lot of it now very efficiently. You wouldn't "only install a legal monopoly" you would insure everyone at a much cheaper cost.

re: And like I said before, the problems that I've stated before would only be multiplied.

What problems would be multiplied how? Be specific.

I wonder which department of the present government the socialist think should take over healthcare?

Thirty cents of every health care dollar spent in this country is devoted to DENYING care to people WITH insurance.

How could a government run system be more inefficient and brain dead than THAT?
