    They won't leave America because it's hard to emigrate. They also don't want to leave their families.

    Single payer is probably impossible to get through the congress. The unions won't support it and the Republicans are dead-set against it. The last congress offered the best chance in generations.

    Some idiot on Huffington Post suggested that liberals bankroll all the healthcare themselves and leave everyone who "didn't want" health care out of it. Nice try... talk like that will make the wicked disappear... into the ground.

    Congress will pass single payer when the people want it. And the vast majority of people will want it within 25-50 years at most, when they have to pay $500 dollar a person for premiums and Medicare is bankrupt. There are different ways to skin this cat, but ultimately price control and proper regulation needs to happen to skyrocketing health care costs. Most of the boomers will be dead, and most of the current and next generation will be totally unprotected unless comprehensive overhaul of the system occurs. They'll get to sit in the waiting room hell of the uninsured except nobody is coming to check on them. Hopefully that will get people to consider this issue without all the stupid political grandstanding.

    In this kind of bust scenario, most people will likely lose all but basic and limited benefits, and maybe that's the way it needs to be for people to be rational about health. Which include taking care of it, eating well and the proper preventive cares necessary to stay healthy.

    I ain't gonna be an old man when this shit goes through. If this bill gets "killed" by those pretentious old fogies, the shit will hit the fan and it will be in their face. FDR showed us how it's done: when the judges get tough with you, you have to get tough with the judges. They can put in single payer if they want -- I don't care. What I want is affordable health care NOW.

    You're ignoring the incredible power of Te in American society.

    It occurred to me yesterday to look into what a "equitable" share of the American money supply would mean in today's terms. Given the broadest measure, M2, the money supply is 9.5 trillion. Divide that by the number of individuals living in America (300m) and you get about 32k per individual. Think about that, and what the great LIE society might want to do with that number.
