If the government is a third-party payer, it will still be expensive and inadequate. This is due to the economic principle that you are conscripting doctors to provide services, not competing for costs for services, or for quality of care. Let the freemarket do its job.

You just don’t get it! Single payer in any form does not work. The UK has killed two kids with their system in the last year or so. How many do you want to kill with your system?
-
we kill off an average of 18,000 people each year through the denial of care. I am truly sorry for the friends and family of those 2 kids in the UK, but REALLY?!?! Universal single payer health care now!
-
What about universal income, universal housing, universal food allowance? Oh, that would be socialism! Never worked because eventually you run out of other people’s money. This country was built on each person being responsible for his own future.
-
Actually, this nation was built on communities of concerned citizens banding together for mutual safety and prosperity. We are as strong as the weakest among us!
-
We are not as strong as the weakest. What made this country great was that the strong lifted the weak, but it was an individual responsibility not the job of government. Government weakens the individual and takes control and almost always fails!
-
We ARE THE government!

This is pathetic. Failed to pass this incrementalist measure when you had a filibuster proof majority in '08. It is ONLY for individuals in very select COUNTIES - not available for companies to cover their employees. This is built to fail - intentionally I fear.

You keep pushing towards socialized healthcare which is government run. We all know that anything the government touches gets expensive. You take away the free market and it will drive up prices guaranteed. Example Obamacare, Promised to be affordable. Yeah right
-
Yeah, insurers did much better by healthy people in 2007. Dropping off all those nasty sick people sure saved money. Now, with guaranteed issue, everything is *so* expensive. I miss the days when sick people just died cheaply.
-
I miss the days when I wasn’t charged 10X the insurance rate just because I didn’t have insurance. Price gouging the uninsured has created a world where only the insured can get care. Why are the charges not the same for everyone?

Also, why can’t there be a no frills option that simply covers basic care?? Why does every plan have to cover everything?? In a bipartisan way, House and Senate need to re-examine requirements.

I’d advise not calling it Medicare X. That name implies that you’ll use Medicare funds which will scare the he!! Out of people! I understand WHY you’re calling it that, but with the recent push for Medicare for all, lots of people won’t understand.

And create an option so the naysayers can opt out so we don’t have to hear them whine about socialism. Be sure that they can’t change their minds later when they are up against he wall and finally figure out they need it
