You should pay more attention to the private sector who say they can't compete with overseas competition because of high health care costs. Nothing would help the private sector more than universal health care.

There is a reason that U.S. Business cannot in some cases compete against overseas competition. Why don't you tell us what those reasons are? What is it in this bill that has addressed the actual costs of healthcare? What affect does the govt. have on healthcare costs? Think about it and get back to us.

Want the U.S. to pay overseas wages? How about implementing overseas regulations on the healthcare businesses and R&D? Or how about the corporate tax rates that healthcare businesses in foreign countries pay? How about the legal settlements paid in overseas courts?

Providing health insurance is one hinderence businesses have. No, this bill doesn't fix that, but a universal insurer would. Do you favor one?

NOPE! Healthcare insurance is an individual responsibility not a Federal Responsibility. With over 85% of the people covered by some kind of health insurance your statement is faluse. we don't need this POS to cover the 15% that are uninsured.

Your arguments, as usual, consist of simply restating your previous assertions (in a circular manner), combined with liberal (ironic, huh?) use of the childish term "POS."

Don't change the topic. Right now it effects business. And will continue to do so without a universal payer. So, do you care about business or not?

LOL, it affects Business because of the costs of Healthcare and the govt. does nothing to lower costs. Until you address the true costs of healthcare, all of them, this POS is just that, a POS.

The government can, with a universal payer. Are you for it?

What has privatized insurance done to lower costs?

Yes, the Govt. can print more money and set whatever price they want for services but how does that reduce the cost of healthcare. It reduces what one pays but not the cost. R&D would suffer, the number of doctors would suffer more, the number of hospitals wouldn't increase but the cost you pay would be less. That seems to be only what you are looking for, someone else to fund your personal responsibility issue.

Same question to you that Boo refuses to answer, what are the true costs of healthcare? How much of it is due to govt?
