Great. How about you research single payer and tell me how that does not work, and wont work for Americans? And how nothing can be done to repair Obamacare and why, and what would make a workable system from anything 'the right' has got, and why?

Theres your help, go to it.

I wasnt a big fan of frum for a long time, but Ive seen him a lot lately and some of this thoughts are promising:)
This is definitely interesting.

Another sentence I liked is

quote:

Paul Ryan still upholds the right of Americans to “choose” to go uninsured if they cannot afford to pay the cost of their insurance on their own. His country no longer agrees.

Of course there are people that voted for a repub/Scrotus because they believed they had something that would save them money on their healthcare costs( and insurance) but wasnt a major priority for their vote.
NOW The protests at town halls have been effective, and its not just "paid protestors" snerk, its THEIR own people that are angry and needing their healthcare.
its become vital to them as Frum says.


Obama SHOULD have gone with single payer/medicaid for all, or use bits from various systems that work elsewhere.
But thats been my opinion since before I left england.
Being a recipient of single payer(NHS OHIP whatever) my whole life and been involved in it, professionally it seems the only logical way.
The more I understand about the US system, the more troubled I am for those on the lower to middle rungs of america
