Jon, I love ya man, but you've got to separate your personal feelings (your friend's incident) and think about what's best for the COUNTRY. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

I am thinking about what is best for the ENTIRE country...you need to move beyond your tight ideological boundaries and see that.

Right back atcha. As long as it's an ideological difference, Jon, and not a personal one. Peace.

Jon, I don't doubt that you want what is best for the entire country but we do disagree on what that probably is and how quickly we should move to try and implement it. I'm not positive that a public option is the panacea that many seem to think it is.
In Britain, by contrast, having guaranteed access to care doesn't mean you'll actually get it. Twenty percent of British cancer patients who might be cured become incurable while awaiting the treatment they need.
Let's not rush into this Canadian/British model is the answer and let's just get it implemented but consider them under the light of what is wrong with what we currently have, what are others doing that is working and not working (see above) and what would fit within the "American" culture. Personally I like the idea of letting the states handle healthcare but I think competition leads to innovation and success.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88

Best for the country?!???

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that is nearly broke.

What possibly could go wrong?

A lot. Let's remember that this is the same government that took 3 days to get food into the Superdome.
