million dollars, and they won't pay. Why, you ask?

Well, you might think that the company was under scrutiny, or has
filed improperly. Not the case... the snafu is solely on Medicare's
side, and they admit it. They say they have a glitch in their system,
telling them to hold on while they try to "work it out". Meanwhile,
Medicare (the federal government, on Obama's watch) is hurting this
private business, forcing them to carry the government of the US
because of Medicare's clerical error!! This has been going on for
several weeks, and has risen to the level of letters and calls to
federal legislators for help, with no end in site.

So now you want to turn our health care over to this same
bureaucracy? Do that and watch as thousands of private health care
providers go bankrupt or simply shut down and walk away, unable to
continue to stay in business. We'll have a system where only the rich
and powerful (like the congress and senate) have decent and timely
health care because they don't have to rely *solely* on the public
option. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be fighting, and waiting, for
the scraps doled out by the government.

"We're from the government, and we're here to help you." Uh-huh.


I agree with this post.

Wow... such an inciteful follow up post Rob... one of many that are the
same. You must be above average.


In many ways, yes, I am.

Too bad you can feel good about attempting to put others down because of
their looks. I guess you're below average in that respect.

I'd describe "Rob" as exceptional, rather than above-average.

wall street doesn't pay, either...except to its top execs. and they
get the money from the US taxpayer...

yes. absolutely. the US has the most expensive, least effective health
care system in the developed world

courtesy of the same people who brought you collateralized debt
obligantions.

so, yes, i'm ready for govt health care

? Do that and watch as thousands of private health care
providers go bankrupt or simply shut down and walk away, unable to
continue to stay in business. We'll have a system where only the rich
and powerful (like the congress and senate) have decent and timely
health care because they don't have to rely *solely* on the public

we already have that system. ever try to get health care when you're
unemployed?


"We're from the government, and we're here to help you." Uh-huh.

'we're from wall street and we're here to take...ahem...make you
money'.

uh huh
