If the government is going to decide what plans I can and can't get, then I'm against it. If the government is going to what equipment my hospital can and can't buy, then I'm against it. If the government is going to decide what services my doctor can and can't perform, then I'm against it. If there's anything obtuse it's advocating for something you can't define nor understand. You keep pounding the table for "nationalized health care" and "government health care" and I'm just asking for you to define that by describing the government's role at each constituent level, what the estimated costs might be, and who's going to pay for it when and how much. Since nobody's done that, I'm just asking questions and pointing out what you've failed to define. Be honest here: you don't (or didn't) understand the insurance business model and you don't (or didn't) understand how Medicare/Medicaid works. Nor the costs, nor the implications of expansion. If I was advocating for government run healthcare, those are 2 subjects I wouldn't want to be weak on. So let's agree: none of us here understand this subject well enough to advocate for anything, but we all agree that people are entitled some basic form of eligibility to health care benefits as citizens of the US. The big question is the best way to go about creating that system. I've thrown out my ideas on how to do that in some earlier post. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:288871 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
