But no one is arguing for healthcare to be solely in the hands of the government.
That is what the opponents of the bill fear, and from looking at it they seem to have a point. The conditions other insurers and providers would have to operate under appear to be prohibitive, and impossible to compete under.
Izanagi writes:
If our healthcare system is so great, why are people going bankrupt to pay their bills?
Because medical bills are a large, unexpected expense that also often puts a person out of work? If they are close to bankruptcy then it seems a likely candidate. Are you saying we should have a safety net to prevent people going bankrupt? Oh wait... we already have one! BANKRUPTCY!

Perhaps we should let greed tear our nation apart as it has torn apart other nations and allow the rich to get richer and the middle class and poor to get poorer.
The rich get richer, and the poor get... richer slower.
Are we really getting to the root of the matter here? I think we are; you think "the rich" owes you. You are greedy, you are practically salivating at the possibility of getting your hands in the pockets of those more successful than you, whatever the reason.
Kindness is helping your fellow man. Liberty makes it a choice.
