I say push it hard, it should've been in from the beginning - but better yet: Follow Bernie's lead & go single-payer!This shoulda been put in the first place, as an alternative to BOcare.:2wave:
<President Obama is calling on Congress to add a “public option” to ObamaCare to improve his signature health law.>
<The pitch from Obama comes after he abandoned pursuit of a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers during the long legislative battle over healthcare because of opposition from some Democrats in Congress.>
<Obama’s call for the public option echoes Clinton’s, though Clinton goes farther in that she does not limit her proposal to certain areas and calls for the ability to buy into Medicare starting at age 55.>
<The moves also come at a time when Sanders has electrified much of the Democratic base through his proposal to go even further, and provide single-payer healthcare for everyone.>

Yes, that's a good example of a workable & easily implemented single-payer system!Make it simple, Medicare for all.:rock

Actually - he called for it, and Joe Lieberman killed it!Well, he can do it now, he's a lame duck with nothing to lose. It's what he was afraid to do when he started this thing.

Only the insurance companies are holding us back.
Not just insurance companies, but also big pharma and also the fact that we greatly over pay our specialists here relative to what they would earn in any other country on earth.
It was the point all along, they just wanted to ease people into it.
:lamo
So obamacare is a resounding failure.
Insurance premiums have yet to go down but continue to climb
Higher. Most of the people that had to get it couldn't use it either
Due to lack of doctors or the cost of the deductible.
So instead of coming up with a better healthcare plan Obama doubles down on stupid.
The government has failed to run healthcare successfully so of course the logical thing to do is completely hand our healthcare over
So that we all end up like Walter reed.
No thanks I value my health more than that and the health of my family.

:roll:
Which is why the US has some of the best doctors in the world.
We are number one in medical procedures.
Of course if you want that Doctor that can removed massive tumors from people
You have to pay for it.

You must value it a lot being you are willing to pay for more for that healthcare in this country than anywhere else on earth. Healthcare does not adhere to the laws of supply and demand. There will never be a fully privatized way of controlling health costs. Health provider says you need cancer treatment. You say its so expensive though. They say well just die a miserable death then. You say OK guess we got to pay whatever you charge me for this lifesaving care. And that is why you can't just privatize it all. If we ever want to get healthcare costs under control, its going to require a very heavily regulated system.
Just like a con man would.
See how well the VA runs? Yeah, start conning yourself that you'll like it. It's what government run healthcare looks like, at least here in the US. Far too many dishonest political elites protecting their bureaucrats for anything better.
No, we have the most expensive healthcare on earth. We don't necessarily have the best outcomes for that health care. Your argument is like saying that Italy builds some of the most expensive cars on earth, no one builds supercars like they do, thus everyone should buy their cars from Italy.
If you are a billionaire, then we got a great system. For everyone else, not so much.
You mean they wanted to try and tank the insurance industry.
To bad they were smarter than the government.
Saw they couldn't make money now they are closing those plans.
Almost all of the co-ops have closed.

I pay for the best so I am happy.
My co pays are reasonable and after my deductible I only pay 90%.
No it doesn't because of government they tend to get in the way.
Nope not heavily regulated at all.
You treat it like car insurance along with has type of account to
You pay for your sniffles and boo boos while the insurance only covers you in case of sever
Trama or injury/sickness.
It doesn't take a lot of regulation it just takes a bit of common sense and intelligence.
You would see healthcare costs drop like a rock.
They did not tank the insurance agencies, good grief it is still the most lucrative industry in the US.
