Leaving999, there …
Leaving999, there is no way to avoid using the ‘commons’ of today’s society. Water, food safety, education, defense, tgransportation networks and facilities,police, fire protection. No doubt you have benefited by these all. Where there is a necessity for something and savings by pooling resources to provide them, it is rational to ’socialize’ them. Health care is an area where it makes sense as well. It makes no sense to allow a small number of people to become enriched off of health care.

doctors in france average 65000 ayear, the same goes for france…

You sound awful …
You sound awful socialistic, may I remind you what happened to the last major socialistic country in the world(other than China). It collapsed economically because there was no incentive to make money because everything belonged ot the government already.

Unfairly taxing a …
Unfairly taxing a minority? You must be kidding. Passive income, dividends, is taxed at a rate of 15%, regular income is commonly at least 30%. Last year the top 1% took in 33% of income. The unfair part is that the top 1/2 of 1% have a lot more to say about our financial, trade, mfg., and political systems. Perhaps you have resigned yourself to being a wage slave in this society. I am not too hot on the idea and neither should you. I have an upper middle class background. So what!

I think there have …
I think there have to be better ways to do it than unfairly taxing a minority. Offering larger tax breaks for more substantial charitable giving is a good way to do it, for example. The problem is in putting a system in place which punishes people who work hard or have ambition and a drive to succeed. I don’t oppose taxing the rich, but taxing them more and punishing them for being successful through their own merit sounds unfair to me and I am lower middle class.

The doctors have to …
The doctors have to charge as much as they do because of all the litigation they need to avoid. This idea that doctors are meeting in secret to screw people out of their money is absurd. There needs to be change but the goverment is the problem here, not the doctors. Goverment is the reason things are so broken and we are gonna give them total control now and expect things to be different.

Emotions are toxic to rational thinking. Don’t let all this Good vs Evil propoganda sway your feelings.

How does you …
How does you reasoning put the blame on the Doctors? There is a severe shortage of Doctors - and will be for years to come. Reduce the Drs. pay - they move on to something else (remember - Drs are smart people) then you have no healthcare!

If you let that …
If you let that type of thinking prevail on the part of a minority in this country, you certainly do not deserve a humane society. Let the Globalization sham continue to offshore your jobs. Join the race to the bottom, there’s plenty of company, billions of others. I was once proud of this country but there are now so many lazy, ignorant ’sheeple’ who just let life wash over them. They just live here, this is not ‘their’ country. ‘Taxpayers’, ‘consumers’, that is what they are called now.

We all need to …
We all need to relize that healthcare in america is a privilege not a right. Nomatter how you look at it if you cant afford it you dont get it. What we need to ask ourselfs is should we all be coverd or not? Should we all have the right to go to school or not? Should we all have a law enforcment patrolling our streets or not? There is no right or wrong answer, after all its about what you think not what is moral or just.

That is debatable. …
That is debatable. I feel that no matter how much money we flush into that toilet we call our public school system it won’t get better because the system is broken and run by corrupt officials and the teachers union. I don’t support public healthcare at the cost of private healthcare for that very reason. It will undoubtably be as broken and ty as our public schools are. You are just replacing the greedy insurance company with the greedy federal goverment.
