The question you are asking is if we should have a health care system at all. If you're going to keep telling me what I'm saying and what I want, you're just going to have to learn to read better.

The question you are asking is if we should have a health care system at all... You are not approaching this with any conviction that you want this to be fixed You and I must be reading different Lane3s! She has been very open to considering systems. But she also wants (as do I) to be very careful before committing to something this enormous. You seem unwilling to discuss the current broken system to see if it can be altered, supplemented, or expanded, without a radical and costly changeover. This seems to me to be the Liberal side of the RW refusal to even consider single payer because it smacks of socialism. I am really on the fence on this, but I am sure not ready to accept a system that is as undefined as this currently is, with no attempts at working on the initial causes of the problems previously mentioned. I want to know what will be lost or sacrificed in single payer, as well as what the cost will be. It needs a lot of daylight on it.
