We need to fight this with all we’ve got. It’s all lies about “saving.” It’s all taking away from the freedom of doctors and patients. And there is no way we can afford “free” medical care.

‘And there is no way we can afford “free” medical care.’

If “free” Medicaid and Medicare are ALREADY unaffordable, how are we going to afford to add MORE people to the plans? Won’t that just raise the cost proportionately?

Note to self: Any transition between private medical care and government run care will be chaos. Many doctors won’t take medicaid now, some won’t take medicare because they are (purposefully) paid less than they are paid through other insurance. At some point, it will be impossible to find a doctor who willingly takes either plan unless they are ‘forced’ to do so...at which point I imagine they will (have no choice but to) become employees of the government.

Anyone who thinks government run health care will work, hasn’t had to go on Medicaid or Medicare. On the flip side, here in Ohio, the ‘government’ won’t even administer Medicaid...it’s all been pawned back off to....insurance companies.
