"That's why you don't discard a system that works better than any in the world and replace it with something dreamed up by politicians. "... "You'll have $600 hammers and $1,200 toilet seats." I examined the bills my mother was getting for her hospital stay. $.75 for ONE aspirin. $.50 for ONE cotton ball. Such a great system! The French system is far superior, as are several others. But then, you're a ideologically blind moron that makes a living as a leech on our broken system - one of the reasons we pay the most in the world for inferior care. We have to pay idiots like you.

Doesn't that tell you something? Can't you see why the Obamacare initiative is failing? You can't turn something like this over to the government. it doesn't tell me that at all...it tells in fact me that medicare controls the costs of medical services and that the private section of medicine is FUBAR...medicare is not broke today...it will be broke because a disproportionate segment of our population will be aged to the most expensive part of its medical life AND people like you refuse to accept the fact that they must be cared for AND THAT will cost more money...so you go around making cynical accusations against those who would do something about the problem without offering ANY workable alternative...it's shitty beyond description.
