I don't think anybody can argue with you that the system is not working now and lobbyists from big corps have a huge influence on your care, no doubt about it. But everybody knows you can sell the government a toilet seat for $700 and their ability to fix your crisis is crappy (New Orleans) so I don't think there's any question costs will go up and care will go down. Take Medicare or the VA hospitals for our military guys. Both of those programs need big time help and both are run by the government. Hospitals aren't run by doctors anymore either, it's big business, the professional staff is getting squeezed, the patients are getting squeezed, and the business/insurance/law part is getting fat. We need different rules, not the government taking over.
Look, I hope you are right and I'm all wrong. But I just can't see how it can possibly be good for you and me.
