U.S. Healthcare

Just cruising through the Drudge Report and came across the link to this article.  Trying to figure out what the various permutations on nationalized health care would cost versus current private insurance and coverage.  Thought a new thread would be good on this.

not only that, but think of the 55 agencies and the people companies and local governments have to hire to become familiar with the plan

people, you need to read the actual language of the bill.  try it.

Have too much work to do to start on the 1,000 pages of each version (House and Senate).  That's what the Pelosi and Reid Dems say too right before they vote for it.  It is easier and more effective to go stir things up at the town halls.  At least it has been slowed down.  With legislation this size, it really needs to be considered and debated in a methodical manner.

The same guy from the previous article I provided a link to had some interesting points on designing the "ideal" health care program (if such a thing exists).  However, he is at least talking some free market points.
