No more free lunch! let people fail if they can't afford their life style.

Yep,
People need to be allowed to fail - it can be a good learning experience.
Businesses also need to be allowed to fail, and executives need to be held responsible for illegal behaviour with more than just 'Club Fed' style lockup.

State and Fed government needs to stop subsidising people and corporations.

Remember too that Government spending estimates are ALWAYS grossly understated.

Health care reform under HR3200 is estimated at $1.6 Trillion EXTRA. The real number WILL be more than double that. Even triple. Medicare covers 45 million people. Health care reform under the Gov will cover 330 million DAY ONE + 12 to 20 million ILLEGALS.

Medicare covering ONLY 45 million HAS ACTUALLY COST more than $1 trillion per decade. How would covering 345 million people cost only $1.6 trillion over the next decade. That number is compiled of too much booze, lies, or stupidity.

If Cap and Trade gets passed, $9 Trillion will look like the good old days.

THEN they start in on EDUCATION. Reforming the educational system that produced this bunch should be worth considering.

We keep hearing about all these other countries with different Government involved systems.

Canada has a system and it works fine. [according to whom? But that is a different discussion.]
England has a different system.
France has a different system
Germany has a different system
Japan has a different system
Switzerland has a different system

If we go universal health care we will cover over 350 million people, and our population is growing.
ALL THOSE OTHER COUNTRIES TOGETHER, have a total, diminishing, population of 368.2 million. 6 different systems, each fraught with its own problems, to cover essentially what we would have to cover going in. And ours is growing.
Why is our population growing when all those longer life expectancy countries are shrinking?

Our present Government health care systems, Medicare/caid, VA are all unsustainable and bankrupt NOW! They ONLY function because they HAVE the private for profit health care system to succor from.
