What do I have to fear from a public health plan? That they might charge me less or, heavens, that I might pay the same amount, and actually get coverage?
Some might say the Corporate Government is more American, because I have the freedom to not buy it. Freedom to go bankrupt if my child gets sick in this bloated, parasitic health care system. Freedom, once I’m bankrupt, to go to the emergency room and foist the costs off on everyone else. Freedom, if I ever get out of bankruptcy again, to pay whatever skyrocketing price my insurance company might happen to be charging five years down the road. That’s the Corporate Government’s idea of freedom.
In this modern age, where power abhors a vacuum, you’re always going to have one Government or the other. As your doctor might say, choose your poison.

Semantics? How convenient for you to ignore the reality. To imply there is a "system" when there is not kind of creates an entire straw man out of thin air. Doesn't it? There is no health care system. There is a failure of individuals and a failure of government to help the 1% who cannot get insurance. There is a desire to use a small percentage of the population in order for the government to gain more control over people's lives. The uninsured be damned. The Left only cares about them insofar as the assis...

"Paul Starr suggests in his analysis of the American health care "system"......

...and yes, I am linking this to wiki because I really have no interest with going on and on about something that I see is plainly an attempt to argue the semantics.

How is it semantics? There IS NO American healthcare SYSTEM. How am I playing semantics when I am just stating a fact? Geesh, you people.

Here's an idea for you willhelm, instead of behaving like a petulant child on this clips' use of the phrase "healthcare SYSTEM", why don't you call your man Glenn Beck and tell him about it, he tends to use that terminology often. Last I checked he has a bigger audience than I do.

Oh, OK. That is a good one. No straw man, irrelevance, or ad hominem there...no way.
