Temo: Re: II just happen to believe that the government is far more fraudulent and full of abuses than most private industry's.
Czuch: Last time I checked the gov't was run by people as opposed to robots. Yes, there exists corruption & inefficiency,. But, it can't be any worse than private insurance companies. You raise hypotheticals about not enough Drs. practicing to take care of everyone. Well, its already happening because Drs don't want to deal with the red tape & dictates of the PRIVATE insurance cos. They have to hire numerous office people to deal with the filing, & they may not get paid for many months while the insurance cos. question everything.. It's significantly simpler with Medicare & Medicaid.
Its time at least for a public option to compete w/ the greedy & inefficient private payers. If they can't compete with gov't & cover everyone effectively, let them go out of business & leave us with a single payer. We will still be able see your private physicians under the system as it's proposed now.
