Re:Tax Dollars At Work

[Anonymous Coward]

We can't afford universal health care because imagine the tax dollars that would be spent; but we can pay for this kind of arbitration?

The dollars at work in this arbitration would come no where near universal health care. Have you even researched UHC and how it has worked oh so well in other countries? Do you understand what that would do to the economy as a whole? How well is the government handling your social security? And you want to give them control over our health care system. Even your comment makes little sense, you complain about the tax dollars at work, then you want to give them more...

Of course they wouldn't come anywhere close to the cost of UHC--it was an example of tax dollars being wasted on frivolous things. Luckily, this is the ONLY example of wasteful litigation, right?

Your arguments against UHC are typical. You claim all existing systems are somehow inferior to ours, which honestly boils down to a matter of opinion (no system is perfect)--not to mention that it assumes we'd have to implement it the same way. Then you list examples of how government has already botched programs, so obviously they would botch UHC as well. I sympathize with the rationale, but in the end it's just a nay-saying excuse to reject change.

Mod parent up!
