Not so sure...This may end up being the compromise every politician needs. Obamacare, if nothing else, has certainly brought the debate to the front. Republicans will have to put up or shut up now and democrats will scramble to get something that even remotely resembles the monstrocity they tried to force down everyones throat. I would look for something like this to get serious debate in early spring next year."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

What does ACA have to do with universal healthcare exactly?Originally posted by PLATO View PostOver the 10-year period from 2012 through 2021, enactment of the coverage provisions of the ACA was projected last March to increase federal deficits by $1,131 billion.
Because you get your news coverage from graffiti left on toilet stalls by drunken rednecks?Originally posted by PLATO View PostWhy do I keep reading about Europeans coming to the U.S. for Medical treatment?
That's right, sick people in Europe just die unless they can come and be saved by brave American doctors. You have indeed revealed the sordid truth. Well done, you should feel very proud.Originally posted by PLATO View PostMaybe some of you guys actually get really sick and want to get better?

Thought I would check out your link here...when you actually click on the word "poll" and it takes you to the results page this is what it says about healthcare:Originally posted by Dinner View PostFrom 2009: " “59% [of Americans] say the government should provide national health insurance" http://www.healthcare-now.org/anothe...-single-payer/
"On the matter of health insurance ... Nearly half of all Americans now want the government to provide it for all problems. That's up from just over a quarter in 1979"
Now I AM from the South and could be mathmatically challenged, but aroung these here parts "Nearly half" does not equal 59%. Of course, I am not up on the left coast fancy math...."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

They might be wealthy people who are willing to pay a lot of money to see a specialist rather than accept whatever their government is willing to offer to everyone. It would be helpful if you provided a link to wherever you read about this.Originally posted by PLATO View PostWhy do I keep reading about Europeans coming to the U.S. for Medical treatment?

Incidentally in the last month I was rushed by ambulance to hospital with a serious injury, treated including a night in hospital, had X-rays and followup tests, saw a GP twice, and will see several other doctors in the coming month.
It cost me exactly £0.00
An American friend is currently suffering dangerous medical symptoms. They are planning to go an see a doctor next time they get paid.
Yeah, we should certainly all follow Americas lead on healthcare.
