Guess what? I've never seen even ONE ad from an insurance company against the Health Care Bill. Not one.
And on all the news talk shows on CNN...I've see the Health Care bill debated by politicians. But not ONE Insurance Company guy. Not one.
This is total misdirection bro. And even though you may not want to think you can be fooled just because you're an intelligent person...guess what? You are being conned and led by the nose.
If I'm wrong...then WHY didn't the full Democratic White House, Senate, and House simply go with single pay?
Because they CAN'T. All of them are under the thumb of insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies.
This is about business. Don't ever think that any politician gives a damn about any of us. It's about money.
You're ignoring the fact that the insurance companies are now going to have hundreds of millions of new paying customers. Oh, you're 18 years old...healthy as a horse and over the next 40 years you didn't end up going to the doctor but a couple of times when you had the flu?
Well that describes how the vast majority of guys lives play out.
But now...you are gonna pay the insurance company. Oh yeah. And you're STILL gonna end up getting taxed to the ground on top of that.
It's a numbers and money game. Period.
And I wonder how this whole thing is gonna play out when the forced mandate (so anti-American) comes into play...and unemployment is running high with people struggling just to keep their homes.
The govt. needs to step the fuck up and stop the medical industry from ripping us off and shut the insurance companies down and go "single pay" if they really want to do something.

I agree with you that it is all about money and corruption, but the insurance lobby HAS been throwing money to push back and dilute this bill. They bused people in for the "angry town hall meetings" right off the bat!
I agree that both sides of the aisle suck it, but Obama's plan is still better than NO PLAN, which is what the other side has offered, and continues to offer.
Also your statement that 18 year olds will now have to pay for insurance is not true. Under the new system kids are covered under their parent's policy until they are 26.
As far as having to pay for insurance not being constitutional - that's just crap. If you drive you need insurance - is that unconstitutional too?
The righties bitch that the poor do not pay for insurance, and they are why rates are so high. Now that mandatory insurance is on the table, the righties are complaining that it is not constitutional.
It is so easy to complain, but it is much harder to actually accomplish something, or make changes.
If the Republicans get back in, what will change? What is the GOP's big plan, that is so great that Obama needs to be voted out?
