So when companies like jetblue leave Americans holding the bag for their ENTIRE health care bill, can someone tell me why I WOULDN'T support a tax payer funded health plan ala Canada?

Is the argument that it's far better to just pay for everything yourself in order to avoid waiting periods and preserve choice?

When I can't AFFORD an MRI, why in the world do I care if there is a wait to get one?

Of course the other option would have been for Americans to FIGHT but alas, unions and fighting are a thing of the past.

In the dozens of countries with universal health care, it is primarily Canada and the UK that have some wait time issues with non-life-threatening procedures. Most other countries don't.

However, here in the "greatest healthcare system in the world", I recently needed a pretty important test run, and I had to wait a month and a half.....

Don't believe the spin, although it sounds like you don't.
 
Have you guys factored in the $2500 per family decrease in health care premiums that Obama promised in 2008? :)
 
The whole Obama care plan shifts the costs to the Doctors and Hospitals, it was clearly discussed many times.. So many doctors are now refusing to accept the Obama plans due to low payments, further many doctors are leaving or closing there offices to join large hospital groups.. the bottom line is our level of health care is lower, concerns of missed tests and procedures are climbing and seeing your old doctors is not guaranteed.. they might have to close down... All these factors are, by default equal to the so called "death panels".. as there are groups of advisors that preapprove of denigh when and if a person gets a higher level of care, what care and when...
It's already happening now... I've had to wait to get approval for testing that a few years ago was automatic...

Obamacare is the insurance companies dream act.. now that get money from everyone some how some way and they are making an all time killing...

There has to be a better way to take care of people that need it, make sure everyone can get it, and its affordable.. nothing I see now or coming does any of that.... Obamacare needs to be "converted" to a better program.. The insurance companies have got to be regulated... but not on our backs...or our lives..JMHO
