[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2968592, member: 24302"] That's above my paygrade to answer. As I said before, if they can come up with a better plan that works then why not? I didn't say such a plan is out there and if you are trying to move the argument to single payer then only if it works. Government plans tend to not work well with cost overruns. Business models are more efficient because they are profit driven. And people who fall into cracks are not left out in the cold. My stepdaughter developed a rare disease 15 years ago when she was 10. Was in the newspapers. The hospital that treated her in Kansas City took on the expense of it, didn't charge my wife anything. Over $100k in treatment. Yes I know people declared bankruptcy all the time due to medical bills. That's what should have been addressed instead of scrapping entire system to benefit relative few, harming most. [/QUOTE]
