All you have to do is allow LOTS of competition.
Fed Gov doesn’t want that.
State insurance boards don’t want that.

Wonder why?

Hellcare continues the scheme of taking money from those who pay for insurance and funneling it to lawmakers and their families. Lots and lots of money funneling will flow to politicians and their buddies (those lucky enough to have politically protected CAT/MRI scanning centers and labs doing blood work) through inflated reimbursements.

Everyday is Christmas for these politicians.

The foreign occupier and his horde are a menace to our nation and damn near everyone living here.

Reid: Opponents Should Stop Trying To Give Power Back To Insurance Companies And Work With Us To Make Reform Work For Middle-Class Families

I'll do that Reid; right after you publicly sign a document stating neither you, your loved ones/affiliates or the United States Government will hold any individual responsible for you're demise who's loved one was denied access to medical care under a U.S. Government system that they could have received under a private system today provided they can support such a claim..

Cool?

Giving the insurance companies a guaranteed income from making everybody buy health insurance is Harry Reid’s doing. If you wish to get fooled by people like him, you will.

he must genuinely fear repeal is possible in order to make this statement

"It’s time to move on, and work together to implement reform in a way that puts families in control of their health care, and lowers costs for both families and small businesses.”

Yes it is, Senator Reid. Glad you are on board with repealing Obamacare which you previously helped shove through...oh, wait...you mean this was just another meaningless boilerplate phrase...?

“Opponents of reform have tried everything to protect insurance companies

In all that I've seen or heard about Obamacare, I've never seen mention of this.

I believe many have called for tort reform and that keeps getting knocked down. I think if the government wants to help they should work with the insurance companies to come up with affordable coverage for people at different pay levels.

And, work with the health care professionals to accept a minimal charge (like they do with insurance companies) from patients who pay in cash.

This is where the fix is, NOT in a government bill.

I trust profit-motivated insurance companies much more than I trust government agencies.
