My position is we either ought to go with a complete overhaul of the system and implement a single-payer universal plan where we all chip in via taxes, or we simply rescind government care altogether including Medicare and Medicaid. With so many already dependent on government funded care it is likely the former will happen before the later. So why tip-toe around the fact the health insurance industry ought be disolved? Because they are massive campaign contributors and the politicians are in their pockets.

Obama's plan will likely pass. And it will eventually fail. It has the potential to bring this country to its knees it ballooning expenses. Where a single-payer system could save us a hybrid is flawed. Many MDs and nurses are advocating a single-payer as a cost-saving vehicle. Administrative costs due to the myriad forms and filings necessary to receive payment from the fragmentation of our healthcare industry due to the manifold participants has caused a ballooning of expenses for hospitals and doctors' offices.
