Reply #17: Taxes and cuts in spending (wars, for example) would pay for it

[Vinca]

IF WE CUT THE DAMN INSURANCE COMPANIES OUT OF THE MIX!!!!!!! As long as profit driven, greedy, heartless companies are in charge of what health care we get, we're screwed. You insured are screwed, too. You file your little claim for surgery on the infected mosquito bite on your head and they reject it because you had acne 30 years ago when you were 15. Or you rack up a hospital bill of $200,000 and get a bill for the 20% that isn't covered. And forget about preventive care.
