Comments on: Reform Or Making Things Worse? http://www.letfreedomringblog.com/?p=6335 The Revolution Will Be Blogged Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:02:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: eric z. http://www.letfreedomringblog.com/?p=6335&cpage=1#comment-115248 eric z.

There's a reason Ford is expanding its Ontario operations. NAFTA allows it and the coverage costs are not as severe because Canada has single payer. Runaway industry. That's what you get when you let Blue Dogs and others aligned in that direction monkey with things. Without looking at what will be funded, at what levels, at what is too costly such as some end of life procedures for the terminally ill, and without getting the profiteering and middle man costs out, it's just throwing money at the private insurance people. More cash, down the same rathole. It is bad so far, and progressives should demand more or vote against it.

If it gets to conference, the Doctor Fix will be in the bill because it'll only take 51 votes to pass it.

Both are exactly symptomatic of the Big Lie that is this "reform" bill. That is, Congress believes they can give more people better care for less money. It is not possible.
