WHAT A JOKE of a Health CARE Plan.

This wasn't ignorance, it was genius! It is the perfect way to move toward socialism.

If it were actually going to work, I might agree with that, but as Geo said, it's so under-funded it's going to fall flat on its face. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that will serve as a real-life demonstration of how universal healthcare won't work in America.

When it comes to healthcare, people want three things: They want high quality care, they want it to be easily accessible, and they want it to be affordable. Problem is, in real life you have to pick two. If you look at countries that have universal healthcare, meaning it's affordable (free) for everybody, they've made sacrifices, generally in accessibility, sometimes in qualtiy. You'll be able to get your hip replaced for free, usually by a good surgeon, but you may have to wait a while. In America, we're used to high-quality care that is readily accessible, and getting the American public to sacrifice either of those to make it affordable for everybody just ain't gonna happen. Look at the polls from before the healthcare bill was passed; 80% of Americans polled were happy with their healthcare the way it was.

Roadtoad, I fully agree with you except for one small thing, Obama, Reed and Polosi, and thier Liberal henchmen DIDN'T ASK WHAT THE 80 PERCENT OF AMERICANS WANT, they are shoving socialism, and Universal Healthcare, down our throats whether we like it or not. And, as I said above, we are paying for it with all of the enhancement fees being placed on all aspects our our livelyhood. Obamacare is just the start, you watch what happens when they get done with Cap and Trade!!
