There are many way to reduce health care costs and also a number of sensible ways to enable those with pre-existing conditions to get good coverage, but clearly and obviously a government run plan is NOT the answer... for starters, remove the current within State monopolies and you'll see health care costs decline dramatically for everyone...

No insurance company would touch you. What socialist was in the White House? GW Bush. I guess we are all going to pay for it anyway.........that's pretty social.......... "Everything government touches seems to turn into a gigantic mess. Consider the Obamacare promise to have the government cover everyone who is uncoverable. The program began a little more than a year ago. The promise was this would cost taxpayers “only” $13,026 a year per enrollee. The actual cost is more than double the price promised by President Obama. “Each participant is expected to average $28,994 in medical costs in 2012, according to the report, more than double what government-contracted actuaries predicted in November 2010,” the Washington Post reported. <snip> This government screw-up may not last long at the government level. Democrats and President Obama have ordered health insurance companies to cover people who have pre-existing conditions that would cost more to cover than premiums will bring in. The costs will be passed on to the rest of us, who will be ordered to obtain health insurance coverage. blogs.dailymail.com
