Patriotic? WTF? You are high, my friend. The only thing the government is going to do is charge us more and give us less. Patient care is going to suffer and you'll be wondering how you got stuck in such a ****hole for a healthcare system.
I'm not saying what we have now is great, because it's not, thanks to the joint efforts of Nixon and Mills creating HMO's and Medicare/caid. What we need to do is put the choices back into the patients' hands and let economics drive our healthcare system, this will help to autoregulate costs and it reward good quality care. If/when Obama's healthcare plan goes through patients will have fewer choices thus creating a situation more dire than the one we are already in. This will cause costs to continue to rise and will inevitably lead to fewer treatment options as a form of cost control. Then we will all be forced to grab our ankles and PAY MORE TAXES for FREE medical insurance.
No thank you. There are other solutions, but people don't want to think about them, because as always, people put their lives into Uncle Sam's hands and blindly trust our governement to lead us to the promised land.
Wake up, man. Go read a book, and please God stop calling people more educated than yourselves with more at stake in their lives idiots just because they know this new system will fail.
