Reply to "America's Health Care System"

Some one is getting screwed here? Like maybe all of us? Does free enterprise in health insurance need to be protected so that the four individual CEOs of the four largest health insurance companies can each be paid over $20 million a year? What's up with that?

--Michael Jordan - 31.3 million per year and an additional 47 million in endorsements. Tiger Woods - 112 million. What's up with THAT?

Stop listening to the Conservative Republicans. The health insurance industry has dumped over $200 million into lobbying to defeat any heath care reform. Those blocking health care reform are just opportunists supporting the industry for personal financial benefits reasons.

-- Those blocking health care "reform" don't believe in socializing medicine. Don't listen to the Socialist Democrats. What they want is control of a significant part of your life decisions.

Just remember that on the opposite side of the isle, the only suggestion to reduce the Federal deficit was to REDUCE Medicare funding to the group under 55. That's right. The Republicans want to talk not about reducing discretionary spending but they want to reduce Medicare AND Social Security entitlements as they currently exist.

I suppose those programs are too Socialist for them huh?

-- Absolutely. Congress had no Constitutional authority to pass either Social Security or Medicare. Noone in their right mind would give their money to someone as an investment when: They don't have unlimited access to it, they are unable to pass it onto their heirs and its looses net worth over time (adjusting for inflation)- Social Security.
