Hillary wants a single payer system. I think you're mistaken in this list.

I'll make a bigger post later, but this is all I'll say for now:

This there is no public option. This is essentially a mandate that all Americans must purchase health care. Subsidies will generally be issued in the form of a tax credit rather than an outright payment via government sources. Yada yada yada. If you want to make comments on health care, read a bit before you make mindless comments.

The United States has the largest wealth and at the same time, one of the lowest life expectancies out of any first world country. It's generally safe to correlate life expectancy to quality of health care.

We have wasted over 800 billion dollars in Afghanistan and Iraq in the last 8 years on two wars that haven't made us any safer on the world stage (in before "YES THEY HAVE"). Point being: if there is always money for war, then why is there never money for our national well-being?

Again, longer post later.
There is no public option YET. This bill is not exactly what the preident wanted but it will get the job done, mark my words unless this bill gets repealed we WILL have public option before long. He has not mandated insurance costs yet be he will have to, because of all these mandates on insurance companies they will have to raise prices just to stay in business. Me personally, I am not really for the wars, but President Obama sure is for the one in Afghanistan. Oh wait you don't really hear that much, but he keeps sending more troops over there.

"The United States has the largest wealth and at the same time, one of the lowest life expectancies out of any first world country. It's generally safe to correlate life expectancy to quality of health care."
-- We are 11.4 Trillion in debt, I am pretty sure we aren't wealthy.
-- Why do people from these nationalized healthcare countries come to our country in seek of medical help?

The big issue to me is that our country was founded on strong state power and weak federal power. Every day the federal government is taking control of more aspects of this country. Which makes me wonder if anyone has heard of the state sovereignty movement.

* Tenth Amendment – Powers of States and people.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The founding fathers believed in a balance between state and federal power. This state sovereignty movement clearly arises from the belief that the balance of power has tilted too far and for too long in the direction of the federal government and that it’s time to restore that lose balance.
