Health insurance is the problem, not the solution. Why, except in a Marxist world, would you expect someone else to pay your legitimate bills? The bottom line effect is, as you add more parasites into the payment stream, you get higher prices. Then you have to get Mother Government involved because the prices are so very high and then you have infinite parasitic involvement and not only are the taxes spiraling out of control but the quality and quantity of delivered product is headed downhill fast.

I think you have your wires crossed.

Parasites? Would those be ‘the poor’? They’re already covered. It’s called Medicaid. The public option isn’t for them, it’s for the ‘working poor’ and those who the ‘insurance industry’ refuses now. And they pay for it, not the government.

The Republicans offer $5000 per family. All families. No matter how McCain you are. And against what? $12,500 a year to cover a family of 4? how do they pay the rest and what do they do when they are denied?

Oh, and those ‘parasites’? Guess what? You’re already paying for them, just at a MUCH higher cost than if they simply had access to insurance. What a win!
