Yep. When we get national healthcare, it will be because Corporate America demands it. They desperately want from under that cost.
They accept it because there is no national alternative within their border, that is why there is "medical tourism ".
The citizens are already heavily taxed for their healthcare, so they see no additional expense 'out of pocket'.
I wouldn’t put it past the Democrats to do anot Obamacare clone, because they have to keep scamming us as people, they have to intentionally put a flaw in the law as a reason for us to re-elect them to solve exactly the problem they created, then repeat.
Don’t kid yourself. There’s a big medical tourism market for Americans too.
I am SURE the GOP will campaign on fighting this plan tooth and nail.

Of congressional democRATs all are functionally communists.
Of congressional republicans, about half (maybe more) are functionally communists.
THAT is why we cannot get 0bamacare repealed when it counts. THAT is why border security is going nowhere in congress. THAT is why tax cuts are going nowhere in congress.
Heading should have read:
Democrats' Same Old Plan: Nationalize Health Care
I’m not. I live on Guam but go to the doctor in Hong Kong. However, there is a huge market in Thailand for British and Canadian citizens to get surgery and cancer treatment that they don’t have to wait for. It is a major industry in Thailand.
Another evil idea from the cabal of totalitarian nihilists (I refuse to call them “progressives”). But, Javanka wants it, the Pukes (GOP) want it, the Commies (Dems) want it, and a majority of the electorate wants it. The fact that you and I do not want it and can see it is a catastrophic development is irrelevant. So, it will happen and health care world-wide will decline as our system created ~100% of the life saving innovations. A black market in quality health care is on the way.

Republicans ought to provide a binary choice here: Either slide into nationalized health care with Democrats or help us tear away the bulwarks of tyranny in health care in favor of freedom.
>
False dichotomy: Either one adheres to the Constitution, and the limitations therein, or one does not.
Rejecting the ‘tyranny’ in h’care does not exclude any OTHER tyranny imposed and supported by (R).
Course, acknowledging the same would cause the whole house of cards to fall....
Canada is not attractive for business unless you like hiring dead zombies.
It seems that here is a chance for Republicans to do what’s right. Wondering if they won’t screw this up too.
We can thank the do nothing Republican majority Senate for this.
Just out of curiosity, how's that working out for those patients? Especially cancer patients? Do they have access to the latest treatments, medications and equipment? Are the doctors experienced? Where did they get their experience?
Call me skeptical; I work in a healthcare industry, and I'm just not aware of cutting-edge oncology practices in Thailand. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.
Is there a functional, efficient, successful model fir that ANYWHERE on earth?
I mean-seriously!
Require them (congress, all state and federal leaders and legislatures, everyone) to get in line with the unwashed and see how quickly they change their tune!
