Healthcare

[casner6]

I am ready for a single-payer system of health care. I disagree with having my health care paid by my employer, whose interests may (do!) differ significantly from mine. The market forces don't actually work at the individual level. There aren't sufficient incentives in the short term to influence individuals to change long term behaviors

"The scare tactics being used by the big businesses that make hellacious incomes on the waste in the current system, and the knee-jerk loud mouthed Fox and Limbaugh listeners are really irritating."

Amen!

And if one more person says they don't want the government choosing their doctor for them, I will smack them up the side of the head with the list of physicians covered by my insurance company. If I see anyone else the co-pay quadruples. Mara
