    Incorrect. Medicare negotiates with medical. It allows many thousands of private market providers to all play by the same rules.

    Insurance companies have a profit margin around 3.5%.

    What do you expect ? our community organizer in charge was a community organizer in Chicago. And we see how big of a shit hole that is. He's just tryin to make the rest of the country blend in. And he chose to start with our health care system.

    You aren't going to see many liberals who aren't just blind followers cheer this bill on. I'm not in favor of it what so ever. While it may be a starting point, it doesn't do nearly enough. I don't understand why a price tag has to be put on every fucking thing on this planet. Taking care of sick people should be a basic human right, not only does it help the sick, it helps everyone else. Single payer or bust. Flame away...

    And a state legislator and a US senator.

    He won two elections running on that health care system.

    How does being a state legislator and a US senator qualify him to completely revamp a nation's healthcare system?

    Because it qualifies him to be President of the United States of America. It was Congress that enacted for the Health Care Law, by the way.
