Ther Federal Government spends 24,000,000,000 dollars a year on kidney dialysis. Now that’s just one thing.....dialysis. Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, Marxist, Socialist, whatever.....there will be rationing. You can’t spend what you don’t have.

I’m guessing if people were more invested in their own health care (perhaps health savings accounts), they would take MUCH better care of themselves.

What these turkeys have done is codify into law the WORST of all worlds: somebody else pays, but not you. You can live however you want and send the bill to your neighbor. Who will be forced to pay via the IRS.

People have no stake in keeping themselves healthy if they can pass the cost of bad health on someone else.

And NO, I don’t want the gov’t dictating lifestyles, diet, etc. Diabetes can be kept at bay and controlled in many cases. There is no incentive for this, in any part of this bill.

Not if you are a congressthing, or can afford exorbitant "supplemental" insurance.

There will just be rationing for the masses, who have to line up at the clinics who will accept the rediculously low payment schedules associated with the gov't regulation.

For the elites, however, there will be higher-priced practices with no waiting, plenty of treatment options, and lots of resources.

The illusion that you'll be sitting in the same waiting room as Gates or Soros is the dream that the libs need to sell the plan.

You can’t spend what you don’t have.

Congress does it every day.

I guess, actually, they are spending what you don't have.
