Health Care Reform

[Spasm]

The Post Office isn't failing because of any other issue than people don't send physical mail anymore. This isn't as if they're hemorrhaging money based on poor service or poor management. With any economic downturn, mail gets scaled back by users. Claiming this is a fault of the Post Office is rather unsubstantiated, if nothing other than an attempt to claim the system doesn't work.

Capitalist school systems would be a nightmare and would boil down to the same exact situation health care falls under: Those with money can afford the good schools and those without get stuck with some shitty schools. This is unacceptable. With this, no standardized curriculum and schools focusing on financial bottom line rather than educational ones.. this is shortsighted. I'm a libertarian and even I can see the shortcomings of a purely open market. It's simply unattainable as long as human nature's greed is involved.

The main issue facing public schools are the unions (like every other industry), not the system itself.


Hardly. These systems make up a very small percentage of the nation's budget. The real reason we're in debt is our continually overspending of military. How many years have we built vehicles that could no longer serve a purpose due to how future and current wars are fought? Instead you'd rather people starve off the system? Sounds like a plan. There simply aren't enough jobs to accommodate everyone having health care.


-- Won't happen, the government will put so much regulation on the insurnace companies that they will not even be able to stand a chance against a public option. I read today that insurance rates are expected to go up 200 to 300 percent just because of this bill.

Yes, just like private schools, FedEx and UPS have failed against the public option.. Right? This is pundit regurgitating.

Sure, premiums will go up (see how easily people can twist the facts?) but you'll get much more in return in ways of full coverage and better co-pays. Spending less for shitty coverage versus, spending double and getting much, much more? That's simple mathematics. With this bill you can actually shop around for better rates in a centralized hub -- how's that for capitalism at work?[/QUOTE]

Here is the budget of the US spending, why don't you take a look at social security and medicad and medicare... Umm and true libertarians do not believe and stick up for the ideals that you are sticking up for. between medicad medicare social security and interest on debt that is 49 percent of our total budget, compared to the 21 percent for our military. Do you realise what will happen if we gut out military? When you owe someone TRILLIONS and you cannot pay it back, eventually you get fucking repod on
