Insurance companies force defensive medicine?
Gee I thought that was ambulance chasing lawyers?
I have been with the same insurance company for over 40 years, they have never cancelled mine.
Raised rates, many times, do I like them, not really.
Do I like them better than Obama care, yes!
For all you folks that love Canadian health care, take a trip to Duke, count the cars from Canada.
Wonder why these folks are down here?
My wife doctor, guess were he is from.
That right Canada.
Health reform yes, Obama care, I hope not.

Mr. Lyle, many people have reviewed the government's track record of running other programs which were designed to 'improve the lives of millions' by 'lowering costs while improving service' and found waste, fraud, corruption, and poor execution. They have no desire to see the best health care system in the world turned into the DMV.

Please consider paying for your own medical needs and stop advocating government steal the belongings of others to foot your bills.

"The all-powerful corporation is just as capable of denying liberty as the all-powerful government."

But you can choose not to do business with the all powerful corporation. BCBSNC got too expensive so I booted them and switched to an HSA this year. I used Alltel for years and one of their "helpful" people pissed me off so I switched to Verizon.

But Dan, but Dan what about those with pre-existing conditions who cannot switch? Agreed, that is a problem that should be addressed along with making insurance more portable and ending out of state restrictions.

"The government, at least, is staffed by individuals with heavy regulation and mandates to be as nondiscriminatory and helpful as possible."

Govt. individuals are helpful?

Pause............

Sorry I had to quit laughing so hysterically that I couldn't type.

Heavy regulation? You got it, 2000 pages of it with Nancy Pelosi's name on the top page and her San Francisco values likely throughout. The House wants to vote on it this weekend and I doubt any of them have read it.

It will be interesting to see how some blue dogs vote after the smack downs in VA & NJ this week. Obama and Pelosi don't care if this effects anyones reelection next year, they could care less, they want this jammed through before the wheels fall off the wagon, which they are quickly.

" One of the biggest arguments libertarians and conservatives have against reform is that it will increase the size of government, allowing it to run more and bigger programs"
You are correct!
" The government, at least, is staffed by individuals with heavy regulation and mandates to be as nondiscriminatory and helpful as possible."
But that doesn't mean it will happen!

There is just about no problem that the guvmint can't make worse!

I'm sorry. I just can't see that you're entitled to the liberty of health insurance by infringing on my liberty by requiring me to pay taxes to subsidize it based on any constitutional interpretation.

Tuesday's election results seems to have deflated the cockiness and bravado of the pro Marxist healthkaya scheme supporters somewhat.

Haven't even seen truman slinking around crowing about "a democratic health care bill by year's end" since election day. What gives?

Yes he did, Dan. But now even dingy Harry is saying no senate action until next year.

But you can bet that there WILL be a DEMOCRATIC bill passed by next ground hog's day! And it WILL have the Marxist (public) option! And you have a great day! Seriously! :]
