Reply #26: Well your facts are wrong

1) Obama has not taken the public option off the table

2) Tort reform. A favorite right wing talking point but it accounts for less than 1% of the cost of the health system. It actually has had an impact on only two areas OBGYN and Neurology, and these areas, especially the former can be handled seperately. IN any case not significant.

3) Having a public option means that they will have the option and letting people choose.

4) Your comments o medicare and medicaid are just laughable. Life expectancies and costs in all of the other developed countries show a much higher result and half the cost.

The reason for higher costs is that our system takes about 37% of the gross simply to decide who gets what procedure and who should be denied. Single payer is a much more efficient and cost effective way of providing broad based public service. For that reason we have single payer fire departments, single payer airports and so on.

Oh and thanks for dropping by with your Right Wing points.
