Why not open the market up to competition ( imports and IP overhauls) and lower the price to the point where people can pay for their medical products themselves? And make the dollar actually worth something again?


Isn't this what we had (open markets for insurance) before Obama Care? It wasn't working very well for most people.

Determining whether or not government is evil or just incompetent is a never ending struggle. Is it just a coincidence that the insurance companies are going to be on the receiving end of a massive windfall from all the new 'customers' that are forced to buy their product?


And yet you still maintain that everyone's rates will go up. :scratch:
