Personally, I think it's unconstitutional for the government to require private hospitals to treat people for free and the same for requiring people to buy health insurance.

In this scenario, party affiliation is irrelevent. I agree that a certain number are irresponsible Republicans. My point is that it's the liberals who are advocating this guaranteed issue law and insurance companies are reacting accordingly. They are businesses....not social agencies. -Greg

It's a nice fantasy, appealing in its brainless simplicity: Liberals blow money and Conservatives do not. Sadly, the real world is not that simple. The US has the most expensive healthcare in the world and millions do not have decent healthcare. It's the worst of all worlds.

You're the simple one, as those are your words. I've stated many times and in great detail how to lower healthcare costs. What you call reform will not do it. It goes against the basic laws of economics. -- bill-o |
