Washington does not have the constitutional or moral authority to outlaw private markets in which parties voluntarily participate. It shouldn't be killing business opportunities, or limiting choices, or legislating major changes in Americans' lives.

Step away from the argument for a moment. On either side of the coin, I'm certain all of us agree that the gov. has difficulties performing many tasks. The housing meltdown is a direct result of the gov. meddling in private markets. What's going to happen when the feds miscalculate their budgeting for health care? Go ahead use the euro example. Take into consideration the population differences. Our immigration policy alone will cripple this system. Just as social security has been bled dry, this system will too.

No, what I'm saying is to stop saying that the health care system is fine. SOMETHING needs to be done.

That's not the right attitude either. Matt 90% of your insulin supply is covered under insurance. 90%... 10% is a freakin' co-pay!!! Quit buying so much beer and save a shot or two for a rainy day.

Vancouver and all of British Columbia is much like our North West coast.
Mild climate, warm summers, cool winters, lots of rain, very green.
Threat of Earthquakes are pretty much the only natural disaster in the area (if you don't count blizzards).
I loved it up there.

This health care is another way to get more power.
Britain, Cuba's socialistic health care is horrible. STUPID long lines, horrible service.
I'm talkin about months and months of waiting for small things, and then you and your doctor don't even get to decide what is best. Legislature does. If this health care passes, good luck.

I had problems with my insulin pump earlier in the year. I ran to the pharmacy down the street from work and the only insulin they could sell me was around $95
Liberty Mutual (the "diabetus" guy) touting "affordable diabetes supplies" only carries two types of insulin!
