to get away from the pooling of money to pay for others expenses, you might as well start a savings account and not have any insurance at all. I dont care where the money comes from, just as long as the system can be improved... and any time you privatize, you open up the costs for profit. Based on what ever profit levels private insurance company's operate at, why not have the goverment take it all over and create a price cap??

what am I missing here? what is the difference if the goverment provides insurance over private insurance?

They are doing such a great job with Social Security and Medicare I think they should run everything. Hell give them your whole paycheck and they can tell you what to buy and when. And when your kid has to wait for a kidney transplant because of all the paperwork and more needy ( as determined by the goverment) people ahead of him/her I'm sure you will understand.

right... but UCLA just preformed 3 liver transplants for 3 japanese mafia bosses, who paid a %$%$%$%$ load of money so they would get speedy treatment..while there are hundreds of us citizens waiting for one.. including my mother.. which is worse? A slow goverment controled system, or a corrupt profit based private system?

Sorry about your mother. I hope it works out well. Most big Universities are more corrupt the the goverment. They will sell out the whole country for a big donation. How would you feel if the Bush administration was in charge of kidney transplants?
