Amazingly, Switzerland can manage private insurance companies that are required to cover everyone, including pre existing conditions. Some of the largest insurance companies and banks in the world exist there and are still profitable. I guess greed is the problem in implementing this in the US. Oh, and someone told the companies what they had to do, versus the companies dictating policy to the government. I just bought insurance there for my family, including an autistic kid and a wife with an auto immune disease and I had half a dozen companies competing for my business. I assume they were competing as they stood to make money. Switzerland has among the highest standards of medical care in the world (no waiting, no rationing, better clinical outcomes, long lifespans), so I assume greed in the reason the US can't implement this type of system. I've not heard any compelling reasons to the contrary.

I know Michael Moore is a bit much at times, but his movie Sicko hit the nail on the head. Absolutely disturbing and one of those things where if you watch it once, you can predict exactly what those Bastards will do every... single..... time. You don't have to ask why any more.

Don't know if you've seen it.

Yeah... see... someone still has to put out the fucking fire! This is why the (local) Govt run Fire Department shows up and does so for free! Otherwise, the cost to insurance companies to repair fire damage would be insane!

Asshole just made the perfect case for state provided health care. They'll pay what it costs to put your house fire out, but if YOU are on fire... fuck you! Bandaids are expensive motherfucker!

Why do we need a coast guard, he is building the bigliest wall to protect our coastline. Because the coast between us and Mexico is the only one that isn't safe.

I'm not sure why this surprised me. Make the coverage worse, pay the CEOs more. Fuck the GOP, how anyone that isn't a CEO of a large corporation votes for them is fucking beyond my comprehension.

well to start with, there's the "dixie-crats" that were converted to republitards back in the 60's. then there's the reaganites, that were convinced that "trickle down" would make everyone rich, which of course is a fucking lie.
and lots of people have been convinced that anyone that doesn't have a job are welfare scum liberals. you know, the whole "pull yourself up by your boots straps and get a job" bullshit. as if you could actually pull yourself up into prosperity all by yourself. doesn't work that way, unless you started out as a multimillionaire. (hint hint)

I get all of that, but all of those reasons are bullshit and my 12 year old could take 15 minutes of her time and find proof that they are bullshit. I am talking a real reason that makes any sense.

I think the Dems should stop using the term "Obamacare" and go back to calling it the ACA. So many on the right hate Obama, so pulling his name away from it would be a good idea. In the mid terms, the Dems should campaign on fixing or revamping ACA.
