said by matrix3D:While this is completely off-topic, but since you brought it up... the US Government stepped in to take over a whore house in Nevada after it failed to pay back taxes and they couldn't even keep that from going bankrupt -- what makes you think it will succeed in running an entire healthcare system??
It's not "universal health coverage," it's universal health MANAGEMENT. The Democrats are selling you, and every other "the government can do no wrong" sucker, a pill of goods when they tell you that there will be no rationing of healthcare. Healthcare is a LIMITED RESOURCE and there are not enough doctors as it is right now -- this is something Congress (and Obama) have failed to address: who will get what and when? Have you ever read any of the proposed healthcare bill? It reads like stereo instructions that were written by a lawyer; it makes very little sense and there is plenty of "wiggle room" for Congress to essentially do whatever the hell it pleases. Furthermore, if their public option plan is so great and wonderful, why did they explicitly exclude themselves and their families from the same great coverage as the rest of us peons? Because it sucks!
Democrats live in some sort of utopia inside their minds... the rest of us live in something called reality.
QFT!
