Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with reforming health care because I think it's too expensive, but I don't think that socializing medical care takes care of that issue.
I still believe the best medical care on Earth exists in this country. We have more safety nets and programs for people without medical care than any place on Earth. More people are covered, by far, than not covered with some sort of health benefit plan.
Proponents complain that there needs to be more competition in the marketplace, thus a public option needs to be thrown in the mix. Really? How about allowing all 1300 something insurance companies to compete in every market and state in the country? Currently they can't and that limits competition.
Proponent claim that places like Canada, Switzerland & the UK have superior systems for free. Well great, but they aren't trying to support the costs associated with a population of 300 million and unknown millions here illegally who will also receive benefits. And talk to me about the success rates in those countries for treating cancer & other illnesses vs what we have here.
The Chrysler once said, "Don't be afraid of this, it's a good thing. If we were afraid of outer space, we would have never gotten to the moon."
Well that's great, but NASA didn't go from conception to planting flags on the moon in 6 months.
I know we can use reform, that is a given, but don't jamb Chrysler Care down our throats in 6 months when nobody can explain what the hell it is, including the Chrysler himself.
