Reply #11: Basic Misinformation...

I'd prefer to say that many aren't informed as to how insurance and our current healthcare system operates. They see all the bad and don't look closer to see how making radical changes could make things worse not better. Best of intentions, but missing many key elements to follow what is a very complex issue. Not that I'm a fan of many things that happened inside the beltway over the past year, but I don't see this bill as a total sell-out to the corporates and that there are many Congresscritters who did put their careers on the line on this vote...it better work.

People seem to forget that one of the biggest expenses right now are the many uninsured who end up at ERs in bad condition and require expensive care. A universal system will cut down on that problem as well as allow millions to get preventative care...the real key to a healthy and prosperous nation. The money has to come from somewhere...and it's all of us who share this burden. Be it a public or private provider, health care...especially end-of-life needs is expensive and the more people who pay into the system, the more affordable this access will be to all. Now there are ways to cut costs but that's for another day.

Cheers...
