do you really think your money is more efficiant moving through more hands? and where do you think they will get this money from... it isn't sound free market economics man, please don't support political ideas if you don't understand them... it further excelerates the lack of knowledge the average American already has about it's own exsistence.

i'm sorry but the right to choose these matters, should never be in the hands of the fed, but your local state government...

HighTill, I'm afraid you're the one here who has no idea what you're talking about. You're also the one who needs to read both our constitution and the Declaration of Independence so you won't be attributing information that neither document remotely addresses (your so-called "big government," which people who parrot what they've heard other say about free-market economics and univeral health care but who don't really understand how our health care economy works now love to shout about). Right now, you're putting the decisions about your health care, if you're lucky enough to have any at all, in the hands of big insurance, big pharmaceutical companies, and big hospital corporations. The assumption that private, for-profit industry is going to make decisions on your behalf, be a better steward of your money, and do justice by your personal health is just laughable. Talk to the people who need care now and you'll find out just how unfairly this is working currently.

Only the really uninformed are the ones who're frightened about "socialized medicine" or a "socialist state." I can already tell you that our future health care system--and it's coming eventually, one way or another--will have to be built around the privately structured system we have now. It'll most likely be a combination public-private system. That'll be very different from what you're imagining. You'd do well to read more, learn more about our current health care economy, and do far less fear-mongering until you know a lot more about what you're discussing. The right to choose these matters, by the way, lies in your hands and not in anyone else's. You elect your own government.
