Good for them I hope they succeed, as obozocare has nothing to do with compassion and everything with people control with the original intent to keep socialists in perpetual power. We have one of the best healthcare system in this world and along comes this clown and does everything possible to change it in order to suit his ideology.

What our existing healthcare system needed was some fine tuning and adjustments here and there, along with a dialog between healthcare professionals and law givers. But no, socialists invariable go at it with a sledge hammer and half baked and as usual it ends in a disaster and no one is happy and it doesn’t work to boot.

The “system” needs more than just some fine tuning. It needs government totally out of it, period.

Getting predetermination of costs for a hernia operation, the hospital, surgeon and gas passer charges would have been billed to insurance somewhere in the neighbor hood of $50,000. If I elected to pay cash it came down to something close to $15,000.

Doing some research on private surgical centers, I ended up paying a cash price of about $4200.

The “system” is the problem so long as hospitals and their willing accomplices in the insurance industry depend on the government to keep fleecing the public.

This unholy alliance has been building a public dependency for decades and they are the reason the “system” is broken. They broke it so they could do like any other “program” to be the only ones who could fix it, just like they fix every other damned government “program”.

Seriously? The Republicans Have No Health Plan?

Comprehensive Republican health reform plans introduced in Congress

Let’s start with 5 comprehensive health reform proposals that have actually been introduced in Congress—some well before President Obama even was nominated for president, and all months before the House (11/7/09) or Senate (12/24/09) voted on what eventually became Obamacare.

Ten Steps to Transform Health Care in America Act (S. 1783) introduced by Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY) July 12, 2007.
Every American Insured Health Act introduced by Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Bob Corker (R-TN) with co-sponsors Tom Coburn (R-OK), Mel Martinez (formerly R-FL) and Elizabeth Dole (formerly R-NC) on July 26, 2007.
Senators Bob Bennett (R-UT) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) introduced the Healthy Americans Act on January 18, 2007 and re-introduced the same bill on February 5, 2009.
Patients’ Choice Act of 2009 introduced by Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Richard Burr (R-NC) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Devin Nunes (R-CA) on May 20, 2009. [See Update #1 for why this bill was of particular significance]
