If you force people into a government plan then that would mean less ofr the current ins companies there for raising the price on everyone with private ins. in turn forcing the company out of business and the government in total control. We see how they work just look at SS , medicare and medicaid.

No to any government run ins

No to the Obama care trash bill

The only thing the health care bill thats in the house now will do is rais taxes and limit care for millions. Not to mention bankrupt the country. We are broke now how can you add more people and spending and think it wouldn't raise the debt. Foolish thinking to say the least

If health care is a business as it now is, why would a company be interested in an individual's health if it is detrimental to company profit??

More goods cheaper prices rite? A cheaper option would force established companies to reevaluate prices?
