And how many hospitals are going BK? Hospitals, doctors, etc, as a whole are doing quite well at the expense of patients very limited care or none at all. Sorry elitists, we actually have a descent president that won't work for legal immunity as the last piece of garbage did, but work for getting everyone healthcare.
Yes, coverage for all, what kind of sociopathic Republican could sign off on that?
REACTIONS:
- Republicans: Personal repsonsibility
- LIbertarians: I didn't cause your illness, why should I have to pay for it?
- Democrats: Help is on the way, we just need to convince 3 sociopaths (Republicans) in the senate and we can help.
People in the U.S. spend $2.4 trillion a year on health care, or about $7,900 per person. That's more than twice as much per capita as in other advanced countries. But few would claim those dollars are buying good value. The costs are a staggering burden for taxpayers, employers and families, and the recession is leaving more people without insurance.

About 1/6th of the annual military budget, not counting gifts to Halliburton via Iraq funding.Obama sees coverage for all as a goal to be reached in steps. His plan would not require every individual to purchase insurance. The estimated cost is about $90 billion a year, to start with.
Conservatives and insurance companies fear that a public plan offered to workers and their families could become the gateway for Canada-style government health care for all.

Right, how can drug companies, doctors and hospitals keep milking the cow when the government gets involved and actually regulates? Amd employers, fucking idiots, they should let it go, it could relieve them from having to supply healthcare.Employers, hospitals, doctors, and drug companies worry that the government's already pervasive influence in health care will become stifling.
Right, taxing employees who receive employer-provided healthcare.....and the neo-Nazi-trashpublicans scratch their heads wondering why they're watching the real politicians run the country? What a joke.Baucus has already outlined a plan that differs in some key details from Obama's. For example, it contemplates taxing some health insurance benefits to raise money for expanded coverage. That's an idea Obama has rejected but one that certain Republicans favor.
Watching and waiting are people such as Robyn Perry, 56, of Lake Worth, Fla., who recently lost a job with health benefits. She has struggled to find coverage now that she is self-employed. Private plans are either too expensive or won't take her because she had a ministroke several years ago. A plan sponsored by local government accepted her, but won't cover her outside her county.
