So Let's See What Happens

[BanginJimmy]

This is a very interesting debate and I hope some others will jump in so we have more than 3 opinions. I think Jimmy and David have many very valid points but we have differing morals that can not be reconciled. Just to summarize my opinion:

1. I am not advocating single payer for ALL healthcare expenses (only basic and preventative that can be shown to save money)

Why do you keep arguing against things I am not saying. I have never once said that people are going bankrupt over routine health care costs.

So you arent advocating a single payer system for ALL heath care expenses. Just basic, preventive, and major medical should be covered. I have a better idea, why not tell use what medical issues you ARENT in favor of a single payer for because it seems you have covered everything in the areas you are in favor of.

You said you liver replacements for alcoholics, what about all the other medical issues caused by alcholism? What about the costs to treat a smoker with emphysema or lung cancer caused by their smoking? Maybe someone that is obese with diabetes?




EDIT: it seems I just basicly copied David's post.
