I'm going to finish that article, is what I'm going to do (started it on the bus this morning!). And hopefully I'll read the analysis of the discussion tomorrow. Good luck.

The problem is
A) taking away incentives for private sector health care, govt mandates on coverage, taxation and no lawsuit caps that make it insanely expensive for doctors.
It didn't cost this much 40 years ago.
B) The millions of uninsured fail to take into account those (wealthier) who CHOOSE not to pay for coverage
C) Govt care makes no room for INNOVATION - why people come from all over to get care at the Mayo, Johns Hopkins. Private competition=cutting edge care.
D) If you love the way medicare, vet admin and social security function - you'll just die for govt run healthcare at all levels.

I am all for some form of govt insurance, but NOT forced on people, employers or at the expense of private care.

The problem is NOT health care - it's health coverage.

Praise be to the health care innovators...I'm looking forward to the day, surely still years away now, when a giant hospital bill strips away the house we've been paying the mortgage on for the last 7 years, due to the coverage limits on the medical plan I also have been paying into for years.
