rod03801: There are two basic problems with the government's idea. First it will cost too much and can't be funded. The experts are all agreeing on this one. It's simply too costly. And it doesn't even serve everyone.

More importantly, it will create a health care system that will diminish the quality of care. All one needs to do is to look to Canada or Britain and it's easy to see just how poorly the mechanisms of a government sponsored health care system run. In Canada, there is no waiting for an MRI - if you're a dog. Seriously, vets can schedule MRIs for animals in a very short time.

For people? In canada the wait time is months. Even and emergency MRI can take months.

With government health care, you don't save money. You pay more and get less.

Not only that, but the medicaid fraud is in the billions. Now if the government adds more people to medicaid (which is the plan) it's estimated that organized crime will flourish. The devil is in the details and the details contain red flags on every page.
