    The guy on the left knows that you don’t get coverage for that. The guy in the middle knows that he’d like to go to the South of France for two weeks next month. The guy on the right knows people are being ripped off.

    HarleyQuinn how much do you pay for health insurance?
    Have you needed to use it? Are you confident that it will be there in the event that you have cancer or heart , liver , or kidney problems.
    Does it cover preventive medicine?

    Does it matter? Why should we try to gut the best health care in the world over maybe 5-7 million that are not covered? Maybe we should look at covering them.
    tj, glad to see the class warfare angle is still out there. really shows how shallow you are.

    Some of the government seems to know AND CARE a lot more about medicine than any of the insurance executives!

    Oh, this is so bloody tiresome. No one has EVER suggested that the government is going to administer “medicine.” Its proposal is to administer “insurance.”
    Cheap illegitimate shot, Benson. Perpetuating a lie.

    The funny thing is, she’s got the percentages right, but flipped. Surveys show 90% of doctors admit there’s something wrong with a system that makes profits when it DOESN’T provide a service, and 2/3 are FOR some kind of government option to provide insurance to people who are excluded or gouged by the for profit insurance providers. The stupidest thing the right can do right now is to make this into a war between the health care providers and the middle-man insurance providers, who add no value and simply skim profits away from the doctors and hospitals that deserve them.

    Yet Ian if the Obama care does go thru, 40% of Doctors will retire, switch practices or just plain quite. And I am sure the recruitment slogan will be “Become a Doctor and the government will be the one paying your patients bills” Will go over real big.

    HQ – 3 out of 4 Drs agree that we need a public option. The AMA doesn’t like it, but the Doctors do. So where are you coming up with this 40%? Also “government will be the one paying your patients bills” would only be true for public option patients… who would be the minority of their patients. And what would the Dr care if they had already negotiated a decent rate?

    Um ask them how they like being paid now? just about as well as cash for clunkers?

    “The best health care in the world” is only according to those against the health care reform that refuse to face facts. Every objective analysis leaves us somewhere in double digits. I think the WHO ranked us 37th. It’s one of those things where some republicans think if they say it loud enough and long enough people will believe it.

    Well, Vasmosn, it DOES work.

    lalas 3 out of 4?…not in this country! I actually did a survey of 50 actively practicing physicians and….none supported Obama or the public option and none supported the AMA. get yourself a white coat from Obama and get your picture taken

    ^^ First Magnaut claimed he was a physician, now he claims to have surveyed 50. Perhaps he asked himself in the mirror 50 times?

    enjoy your bliss…don’t get confused by facts…salute your glorious leader and follow him into the trash bin. the AMA does not represent doctors. Check their membership after this healthcare rerform abortion happens. nothing good, will and or can happen until Congress and their minions are in the same boat as us ON MEDICARE
