The simpleton approach both offer is dangerous, not only to those who actually pay taxes, but also who actually pay the medical bills. Freeloaders have taken over the healthcare system. Healthcare is not a right, it's a responsibility. It is a personal obligation. Gov'ts only incent people to behave, and they incent people to behave in very irresponsible manners, hence "free healthcare." "Healthcare reform," shoved down the American people's throat by the bribing democratic party, is a farce. How can we actually expect healthcare reform, without addressing tort reform. Democrats are beholden to 'Big Trial Attorneys,' and until their greed is addressed, nothing will work. We are actually moving away from the solution, which is catastrophic care insurance only. Personal/maintainence shouls be borne by the individual and shopped around. Kucinich and single-payer are both “quixotic,” unrealistic.

Freeloaders have taken over the healthcare system. Healthcare is not a right, it’s a responsibility. It is a personal obligation. Gov’ts only incent people to behave, and they incent people to behave in very irresponsible manners, hence “free healthcare.”

Political campaigns advance an argument and they may expand the discussion well beyond the narrow measure of corporate profits, or the maintenance of the status quo. The undemocratic maneuvers he refers to are just that- but they're used two times as often by the Republicans. A fiibuster is undemocratic as well, and another ugly parliamentary maneuver. It's only a question of which party is in power that dictates which set of undemocratic tools is available. I'm not a democrat and I hate the corporate insurance bail-out this bill represents. Poll after poll does not assert that the vast majority of Americans oppose a European-style single payer system- they overwhelmingly support it.Single payer is a tremendous advantage to small business and the entrepreneur. Insurance costs are killing American business on a local and global level. No advanced nations are copying the American model. Figure it out!
