The costs of the uninsured and underinsured are covered by "your" premiums and profit is taken from every aspect.<br /><br />You'd be very hard pressed to find any government program with the cost inflation, denials, and general ineffectiveness of the system you're defending. Yes, it takes an idiot to buy into this crap on the emotional argument that government can't do anything - particularly since the most egregious examples of that came from the "conservatives" of BushCo. <br /><br />Nothing from this site is ever shared with anyone - and no, I don't care who you are; the name request is for a handle to be able to deal with comments.Chuck Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656874242638324636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22183958.post-22318617989084215322009-07-31T20:11:34.048-04:002009-07-31T20:11:34.048-04:00Your belief in a single payer system scares the he...Your belief in a single payer system scares the hell out of me. With no (or at least none I can find) federal programs that are run successfully I would hate to think we turn one third of the nation’s economy over to the federal government to manage. Medicare, Social Security, hell even the new one 'cash for clunkers' is removing the demand that we could have in a couple of years for cars. The government started this program to jumpstart the economy. You take a car that's paid for and borrow money to buy a new one...oooh, great solution. You guys in Oregon have done what an outsider could consider a great job with mass transit, have a great left leaning community so why don't you go the whole solution like Mass. did, and start a single payer system at a state level. Wait, you had better not do that, their system isn't in too good of shape now that it’s been in effect for...what 5 years?<br />I do believe you have put 'your money where your mouth is' so to speak and admire you for getting involved but to basically call conservatives a bunch of 'idiots' is to do nothing more than make people that don't believe the way you do oppose you just on that principle. Call me names and while I won't come kick your ass I will walk the neighborhoods and oppose your candidacy...good luck and good hunting.<br />I'm going with anonymous because I don't know what you do with email addresses and am not predisposed to having hate mail coming directly to my mail box, but so you don't really think I give a damn about you knowing who I am my name is Randy PettyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
