I think they're focusing too much on the effect instead of the cause.  Healthcare can be costly and insurance cumbersome because of the constant threat of legal action. 

If you want to bring down healthcare expenses, start with Tort reform.

Yet another attempt to legislate the concept of RISK out of existence.  (That is, the risk of rolling the dice and not getting health insurance and spending thopse funds elsewhere.)  It has worked so well everywhere else it has been tried.

Forget Orwell's fiction. Read Whittaker Chamber's reality in Witness.  Hillary Clinton is a Communist. Be afraid, be very afraid!

 P.S. How many more "Asian" donors to the Clintons are there? It's much more than a "conspiracy theory". That's just what they want you to think. Be afraid.

BTW, is she going to wear one of her Mao suits to her inauguration? I hear they're still in her closet (among other things).

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

Maybe this has been discussed somewhere before, but is the picture of Hillary that's used for this story included because it looks like she is giving the nazi salute? 

at the top of this column is gonna give me nightmares now.

What is the secret love child of Eva Braun and Adolph Hitler doing standing in front of the American flag giving a Nazi salute? Has the U.S. been taken over already?

Far be it from me to advocate this HillaryCare nonsense, or whatever flavor of government sponsored/extorted healthcare is being discussed. But one good argument that their side has, is that these "uninsured" are actually already insured to a degree. If someone who chosses not to have insurance gets into an accident or better yet; fails to take care of their body and as a result ends up having a heart attack or getting a limb amputated because of not taking care of their diabetes, they STILL get healthcare when they present at an emergency room. And the rest of us pay for it anyway.

So if Americans truly want freedom from government imposed/run healthcare, they have to have the stomach to turn people away from ER's when they present without insurance or other payment guarantees. I do, but most people don't. It's the "feelings trump responsibility" problem that humans have.

If I was on their side, I'd use that argument all day long.

I'm not worried about Hillary successfully changing the U.S. to socialized medicine.  Democrats need causes to get elected and want to blame Republicans when they aren't, so this cause will not be "solved" any time soon.  If Democrats actually solved something, they wouldn't have that issue for the next election.  How's that war on poverty coming?

If the latest incarnation of Hillarycare doesn't convince you that HRC is a rabid communist, I do not know what will.

When it comes to our freedoms, Hillary Rhodam Clinton is the most dangerous woman in America.

When I'm president, privatization is off the table because it's not the answer to anything.

Doesn't it take as willing suspension of disbelief to accept HillaryCare 2.0?

I think it's interesting that they chose to use car insurance as an example of what works, especially given what's (hopefully) soon to happen here in Florida. Unless the Florida legislature votes to extend the requirement to have Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance by the end of this month, the requirement goes away as of Oct 1. The reasons for this change are compelling.

First, the reason for having PIP was because people were suing each other in court after accidents and being awarded damage claims. This ate up a lot of the court's precious time. So the original rationale back in the 1970s was that people who bought PIP insurance would be protected from any lawsuits. This was a pretty good deal for drivers... at first. But as always happens, it isn't long before lawyers and doctors start mucking up the works, especially the doctors who embraced the $10,000 limit in the 1970s saw this cutting into their fees as their rates grew. So over the years there have been more and more exceptions and exemptions added to the law to the point where Florida drivers are paying higher and higher PIP fees, and can still be drug into court to be sued for most personal injuries.

Second, fraud has had a tremendous impact on costs. When you damage your car, by the time you get repair estimates, and the cost of the parts and labor come through, it's pretty hard to fake a damaged car. Personal injuries are harder to prove, expecially since there's no requirement to show evidence and prove that you were injured, lost your job/wages, etc. You just submit your claim with the police report number and voila! instant money. So if you want to make some quick cash, you go buy a $500 junker, pull in front of someone and slam on your brakes, cause a "no-fault" accident, and file your claim. As long as you can convince some doctor that you're in pain, you get $10,000 no questions asked.

The end result of all this has been that PIP insurance costs twice as much as collision, even thought PIP only covers $10,000 and collision could cover over $40,000. This is due to the fact that injury claims outnumber damaged vehicle claims by about 40-50:1. If I was the MSM, I think I might want to use a different example.

I've read many comments here, referring to HilCare as Orwellian.
