  1. Matt, there are horror stories with every system. I feel a free market system is the best approach. And every system has problems. However, what people have to realize that as a whole the US system and Canada's system are not terrible. Mainly because we are both developed country. Those who push for a single payer system in the US feeling it will be better are delusional as a whole.

  2. So the government increases my taxes and tells me that I will save money? So does the government feel I am too stupid to manage my own money? Because that is what I am seeing this as.

  3. John Doe, other countries don't switch to the for profit model because radical changes like that leads to economic decline. As a whole the US and other countries are developed and are very successful. Their system "works" well enough that they stick to it. A free market system will be better, but switching to that means telling millions of people to change their way of life they are used to, their finances, and the overall economy. It is why we should not go to a single payer system and why so many Americans oppose it (as seen in the Coloradocare vote). So it is best to stick with what we have and make minor adjustments. Compare it to this. Why doesn't the US switch to the metric system like every other nation uses? I feel the metric system is much easier. Answer, you tell 320+ million people to change. They won't. Now apply that to something complex like healthcare.

  5. "Healthcare=less dead=happier people." I agree, but is the government the best means to provide it? And why? Is the government hiding doctors, drugs, organs, etc. from people and all we need is to allow them to raise our taxes and everything will be all better? It isn't that simple.
