Wow, the only thing I think is that doctors and pharmacies charge way more than they should, but it shouldn't be government controlled. Everything else sucks.

I think most of this has already been debunked on another thread. And just incase anyone has forgotten, Health Care is already rationed by the insurance companies. There are already beaurocrats making medical desicions on your behalf. A guy I was working with Had some huge bill for an ambulance becaUse it wasn't pre-approved.
Well, here is another legislative disaster for which no
one will take the blame should it pass. The responsibility of the House and Senate concerning legislation is to spend time in study/debate then pass legislation that has been made beneficial to America.
However, this process has been corrupted. Lyndon Johnson was the first master at "declare an emergency and pass it quickly" techniques.
Bush2 after 911 took this from technique to normal daily business.
Obama continues the Bush2 playbook.
Should it pass no one in the House or Senate will take any blame for the bill's problems as it was "in the national interest" or as our Representative
likes to say, "I didn't like it but I voted for it because I knew they had an even worse bill in the works".
It is all about the House and Senate abrogating their constitutional mandate.
its probably not going to pay very well to be a doctor, not only will you now be employed by the US government if you become a doctor (hurray im sure) you will be taxed more and more
Don't know how the goverment would do with health care, still watching the wonderful jobs it's doing with the Post office, V.A . Man they couldn't run a whore house{ Mustang ranch} for more than a year , man how could that happen?

No Dr. anywhere is struggling, except here maybe because they have to go chasing people to get paid. I will say this though, Nurses in the UK are under paid.
the thing to remember is that this is America. we can look at other situations around the world, take what works and improve the rest.
The question I keep asking the people who believe in either Obamacare or Teddycare is this: if national health insurace plans are so wonderful and so effective, why do subjects of governments who have such national health care plans keep coming to the United States to have major procedures done?
Answer: Because in the United States, you don't have unreasonable waiting periods for the treatments such that you may die before the national health care system gets around to your turn for the treatment.
Even the British National Health Service has a two-tiered system. Her Majesty's Government guarantees free health care for everyone - but anyone who can afford it has a private doctor, and there are private pay-it-yourself hospitals where you don't have to wait for what may literally be the rest of your life to get an urgently-needed treatment. If this national health care bill (which Obama still hasn't really explained how the government will pay for other than to note he's planning to rape the companies and their employees to pay for those who cannot afford health insurance) becomes law, I think America is going to end up with a de facto if not de jure two-tiered system. Honestly, I think he'd be better off simply expanding Medicare instead of trying to leave his mark on the fabric of America by forcing this kludge of his through Congress.
so, I still don't see a problem. If you can only afford a mediocre plan (like me at the moment) you certainly won't be any worse off. If you are bill Gates, Will Smith, Ted Nugent stc you can go see any beverly hills Dr. you want.
Debunked to the current administration means vilified. Havent you heard that anyone who questions this idiotic plan is just a rich white racists? That is all .if you dont believe me ask MS. Boxer

I don't want to live in England with the elderly denied certain procedures based on age. I don't want to live in Canada long waiting list for treatment. I dont want to live in Spain with over 17% unemployment do to their crap and trade type policies. If the great spender loves these countries and their broken systems so much he should go there. Heck I am sure I can take up a collection to pay for his ticket provided he promises to never come back

My health care isn't rationed by anything but my bank account, which is how it should be.
I have only a basic major medical policy that doesn't really cover much of anything besides a life threatening event. I rarely go to the doctor, but when I do they ask what insurance I have. I tell them that I will be paying cash and, wonder of wonders, I usually get a 50% or so rate cut and the doctor usually says something like "We can do this test if you want, but you don't really need it. Here's a handful of free meds that should fix you up."
Remember folks, the insurance companies are not a charity. They take in more than they pay out. Think about it.
