3. It doesn't work that way

you get credit for the amount of time and money earned in your work years. When you are 65,68, or 70 talk to me. It comes faster then you think, today you are young and healthy next your old and tired. Anything you receive from SS you will be happy to have, even if you have a pension.

4. If the government is going to keep "borrowing" from it, to pay for wars and tax cuts for the rich

5. Failure to understand difference between single-payer and mandated private insurance.

6. Isn't Public Education and SS basically a single payer system?

Opting out of a single paying system is a method of bankrupting the system and creating unequal levels of services (refer to 2 teir debate of HC in Canada).

If this is a pro-mandate post regarding health care, its a perfect argument when the health care system is single payer. Otherwise, its misdirected and utterly confused.
