1. Insurance be made portable - company to company and across state lines. Agreed. Not sure what you meant to be included in "portable", but I also think that if any employer contributes to a company a health plan that they should be required to offer the amount they contribute as a voucher that em...

A) You haven't actually responded to them. The nature of sovereign immunity, for example, remains the same. Just because you don't agree with my responses doesn't mean I didn't respond to them. I've addressed this issue at least 3 times now. I've got a novel idea-- why not respond to my response! B...

(after all, I've been blowing sunshine up Obama's holy hole right from the first post, right?) That's all I've read of you so far. Thats right, I keep forgetting about your reading skills. Go back to post 1 and try again. Try to respond to some other comments as well, you're great entertainment as ...

Okay, I want to write this down so I can be sure to benefit from your wisdom: Why are you repeating Obama's lies? = Thoughtful, intelligent question (after all, I've been blowing sunshine up Obama's holy hole right from the first post, right?) Are you sure you're not just repeating GOP lies? = Naive...

Ah. But with a corporation you have a contract. With government you have sovereign immunity. I at least expected you to remember this was already hashed out on page one-- after all, you're the one that first made the comment. I guess if you guys are going to copy and paste, I will too: [snip]Yet th...

Nor do they want a corporate board doing the same. Guess what? It's part of insurance public or private. You must take us for morons. If a private insurance company screws up, you can sue them. Isn't the GOP version of healthcare reform to make it illegal to sue? As I pointed out in my original res...

Only to try to get the townhall attendees to stay home. Before that it was essential. Was Obama lying then or now? I'm sure he would still prefer it. He certainly argued for it. But he certainly didn't fear-monger it the way the GOP is fear-mongering what a public option would do. He has argued it ...

Let's be realistic: who is really selling fear? Obama keeps throwing out scary numbers like "47 million uninsured" (the actual number is closer to 6 million, when you take out people who make >$75K, are illegal immigrants, etc) and talking about a "crisis." No, you are just reading the GOP's talkin...

Here's a breath of fresh air for everyone. I am opposed to government mandating ANY insurance, including car insurance. Insurance is nothing more than legal gambling. They are betting you won't need it, you are betting you will. That's great what you are able to do for your friend, but certainly wh...

...but medical debt is not a large portion of those defaults, partly because there are state laws on how medical debt is treated which generally make paying it back very easy, and partly because people are often able to obtain charity privately or from Medicaid. Is debt from the aftermath of car ac...

It is a difficult problem. Medical work is mostly art with a bit of science. People expect a doctor's judgment to be better than an aerospace engineer's with no justification. The malpractice premiums in some places and some specialties is clearly excessive. I second all of that. Part of the proble...

I don't care as much how it happens, but it seems silly to me that we, for example, find it perfectly acceptable to mandate car insurance, but not health insurance. There is one small distinction. Car insurance is in fact insurance. You are required to have some before you enhazard others by drivin...

With an insurance company you have a contract. The government has sovereign immunity. Do you understand the difference? Yet the GOP's idea of healthcare reform is to make it illegal for patients to sue. How, then, is the end result any different? Anyway, I don't think its impossible to sue governme...

Okay, here's where I stand. I am definitely for healthcare for all. I don't care as much how it happens, but it seems silly to me that we, for example, find it perfectly acceptable to mandate car insurance, but not health insurance. Just as uninsured motorists will have accidents , uninsured people ...

At least we won’t have to wait as long as for the equally secretive Polywell to find out the answer. Au contraire... we will never really "find out" about EEStore. By late this year they will have announced another delay. Then will come another. It will perpetually delayed until there are few enoug...
