Yes, the people are for health care reform. Or really cheaper healthcare.
But do they want the government telling them what services they can have?


Oy. Doesn't that happen right now? What makes you think the
government is going to deny any more procedures or care than the
profit making health care business?

The government has never run anything cheaper than private industry.


Oh boy, here we go. Isn't most medicare administration done by
private industry?


OK, I understand throwing the whole Magilla at you is a little
overwhelming.

Let's start with the two points above.

People don't want the "government" tell them what to do... As if
private health insurance doesn't wield that sword? Have you been
paying attention to all the folks who are dropped, can't get the
companies to cover claims, taking forever to reimburse?

To your second point. Most medicare processing is done by private
industry. Are you suggesting using prison labor or Haitians?
