I think anyone who is against health care insurance reform is either ignorant, selfish, or a right-wing idealogue. I could list numerous examples of the collusion between insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, and drug companies, and ways they screw consumers- patients, people at their most vulnerable. Price fixing, gouging, upcharges are all routine.
The government doesn't have to run care itself, they just have to open up the pool of insured to all of us, and regulate pricing.
Those that say this is socialism, who have an "every man for himself" attitude, are ignoring that we ARE a society, and we will all one day get sick, old and die. Think it won't happen to you?
