powerlineblog.com — The Democrats are trying to rush their health care "reform" bill through Congress before anyone understands what is in it. The bill is intended to be the precursor of socialized medicine, the "single payer," national health system that Great Britain, Canada and many other countries have tried, with uniformly awful results.

If Government can't keep track of amtrack , why in the world would you put your health and your life in their hands?

Roger, what amount of taxes are taken from your pay in order for you to received health care? Does everyone pay? Does everyone pay the same? I am curious.

The law suits are all about the "Deep Pockets" theory. The doctors and hospitals have "Deep Pockets" filled with ill gotten profits. The trial lawyers have convinced the public it is "their duty" to take those profits from the doctors. Of course the majority of that money ends up in the pockets of the lawyers. They not only charge for their time, but all of the ancillary costs as well. Just another form of redistribution of wealth scams on the people.My daughter is a doctor and insurance for medical practice, clinics and hospitals is out of control. If you really want to know why 'healthcare' costs so much, follow the money.

I have a strong suspicion that your health care is either paid for by your parents or that you are already receiving health care from a government program...and actually, yes there are some things that you can do to reduce your ignorance, you might start by turning off the major adverse corporate influences in your life... like Fox News and Right Wing hate radio...good luck with that!

Diggy...I'm older than you. My parents have both passed away. Nothing is free in this world. The wealth and industry in this world pay for everything. I work for a living...usually 60 or more hours per week. I like it. I attempt to give my employer more than what they pay for because my employer's success is my success. I have never worked for the government. I do have to work with government employees many of whom are slackass bastards who could give a rip about productivity and the "service" they are paid to render. I pay dearly for the government and it, in turn, wastes my money. The government then borrows from MY social security "trust" fund to extend its spending binge further. It again goes deeper into debt by selleing myriad securities all over the globe. My children will get to pay for that. The government has never managed money or industry well. What makes you believe otherwise....beyond the fact the lefty's have told you of the great panacea the government has in store for us if we'll but give them even MORE of our cash. I don't have the time or opportunity to listen to talk radio. My car's radio hasn't worked for years and I don't miss it. I DO think for myself. You, obviously, have no appreciaton for that talent.

Well now Digg has "temporarily banned" me from commenting because of user complaints. Wonder who/what/why happened? LOL!Anyway, it appears Digg has removed my ban, altho they never replied to my objection.

I never curse, try to make my reply logical and if I can add humor and the same thing has happened to me. They get their stormtroopers lined up and deluge the digg "watchers" or maybe one of the watchers just does it on their own.

digg4..what has the government EVER done well...beyond what's constitutionally mandated and that's questionable. We continually give the bureaucracy trillions of dollars and they have run the dollar into the dirt. What makes you so stupid as to believe they will manage health care better than the private sector. They want the cash and the control. Are you simply looking for another freebie? It's not the purview of the government (yet) to administer this for everyone. You can't even read my post to get a grip on what drives me. Read my words. I don't listen to talk radio and by the way, I don't get TV. FOX news is a talking point for you in lieu of rational thought.
