Reply #53: getting where?

I can disagree with parts of the bill without drafting a bill of my own.

However, I have already stated that my preferred solution would be to eliminate insurance companies completely. They are not required to provide universal health care. They are just parasites who provide no other function than to distribute money from the patient to the doctor, and along the way make huge profits in usury.

eliminate the middle man. Any profit an insurance company makes is gouging everyone. And, they can decide who gets care and who does not.

Yes, taxes would have to fund universal health care, but it would be much more efficient than private for profit insurance company premiums and copays.

of course, you're probably not going to like that solution, but it is what I would implement if I had the power to do so.
