    No . Nor is it the British system. I don't mind an honest debate -- I just don't understand why folks repeatedly lie and think they are getting away with it.

    The fact is there isn't a single nation run program that works better than what we already have. The primary fact behind almost every section of HB 3200 is giving government control over every aspect of health care. Tell me. Do you trust the government that much?

    Based on what?

    Boo!

    You trust actuaries and profit-driven CEOs and stockholders that much?

    I don't trust anyone. There will always be a back and forth between conservative and liberal governance. When Republicans get back in power they can undo everything that might be done here. I just don't scare as easily as you.

    I think it will be closest to the Liechtenstein system. It's best to use a system that people know nothing about. Makes it's harder to criticize.

    You think it is being scared? Chump you are a highly intelligent man who makes plenty of money. You know you will be among the least affected out of a 300 million person population. Because you are so intelligent, you know you will be able to game whatever system you find yourself in. You are not the only one.

    What's wrong is wrong. That's what it is. Some people just hate seeing tricksters with power profit off destruction.

    What does that have to do with anything?

    Which could be fixed by requiring employers to contribute a set percentage equivalent of salary to any plan selected by the employee. This way, someone could get catastrophe insurance without the unwanted health management aspect of pretty much all health plans.

    If I could get my employer to contribute the $150-200/mo they would pay for me on their group plan to a catastrophe plan, I'd take it. I just don't want the managed health BS.

    I think we should abolish public universities too. We don't want any more "public options" than we have to have.

    The government is plotting to take control over any industry that makes profits, it's already got educational system and now the medical is right under its claw. Honestly the government-run care can cover more people than the private does, while the industry is exactly the same one. Then after the government takes over the health care system, the care will be recollected and redistributed among the 350 heads living in America, original and immigrants both included. That said, the original Americans will have to give up some of what they already have for those uninsured, even including those illegal immigrants. So it's no wonder original Americans are not so approval of Obamacare. As to the education, there weren't so many colleges or unis back in Lincoln's time, but we can see colleges almost everywhere today in America, most of which are crowded with students from other countries especially some asian countries, thanks to the scholarship they get from the government. However, the original Americans are charged hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition, and most of them can't actually afford it.

    conservatives and wrongies are only against govt intervention and regs for social programs.

    When govt regs protect corporations, the conservatives think it's wonderful. They only like money redistrubuted up the wealth pyramid, never down.
