IMO, getting rid of the government and insurance companies will lead to huge cost reductions. But liberals are too worried about the irresposible. It would take a little time, but society would get with the program.
The world has survived just fine before modern medicine, those who want it can prioritize it.
This statement is beyond absurd.
Who is protecting the insurance companies--it is by and large not "liberals", but people (who have been bought by the insurance and pharma companies) who want to prevent the massive shift of power and money that the insurance and pharma companies represent.
I find it very interesting that conservative politicians, who have the finest socialist health care around don't think average Americans should have the same. Hypocritical.

I do not look at politics from an republican or democrat position any longer. I view both parties as a detriment to american freedom and prosperity.
Americans should have what they can afford and nothing else. Politicians should be limited in terms and buy their own insurance.
You get the government and insurance companies out of healthcare and the lobbies will loose their power.
The only way you will have fairness and pay as you go is through less government involvment.
The only right that people will not stand up for any more is the right to decide for myself and live with the consequences. This country has no idea what real freedom is and the responsibility that it comes with.
We should just rename this country to: The United States of a European want a be.
