For real. Do it for everyone, or do it for no one.

I don't want single payer, but I can't argue with "Do it for everyone, or do it for no one". It's not a right, but WTF? We can't let this current deal or Obama care with all the exemptions being awarded go on. I don't like this subject very much. It seems to me that this could be fixed very easily if all of our reps weren't bought and payed for.

I'll agree that there are whores on both side s of the aisle. I do think that the current bill has allowed too many fingers in the pie, but I think that single payer would eliminate much of that. I also think that eliminating the anti-trust exemption for health care insurers and providers would help level out health care costs. On the other hand, the GOP plan to privatize medicare will have the opposite effect - giving the monopolists another group of victim - er - customers.

Regards,

D-Ray

Single payer is indeed the only manner in which to enact national healthcare efficiently

Your thoughts mean nothing being a lawyer and all. TORT must happen before anything else.

Isn't that being rather unfair to whores?

Well at least a whore gives you something for your money, in fact she may even give you more than you bargained for.

I have generally found that they are very nice and industrious.
