Heath Care ran by govt = fail! Heath Care ran by non-govt = fail! The rich do not want to pay... The middle class are forced to pay... the poor get a free ride.... It does not matter what type of heath care system is put in place or who is running the health care system, it will fail... Health care will fail because we live in a society of greed.... What do you expect when you have a hospital that charges $1000 for a mere 15min visit in order to see the doctor....? Our heath care is a "for profit" system, it is designed to make money for those that work in the health care system, and for compaines.... and it does not matter who is in charge.... health care costs continue to rise year after year... and will continue to do so as long as "profit" is the motivator.... one day, costs will be more then what middle class can afford.... Even if Obama Care is replaced... then expect heath care costs to go up... These insurance companies are in this for money, pay less, and charge higher rates. If people opt out, higher rates for others... Does not matter how you view this... It is lose-lose no matter how you look at it.... If I had to go to the hospital today, then I would have to pay $1000s out of pocket before insurance even kicks in.... how much more is the govt going to tax the middle class that are barely scraping the bottom of the barrel as it is???? ironic is it not? Your bad/health is someone else's profit margin....
