If we developed a 'single payer' system, thousands and thousands of people would lose their jobs. How should we adopt this single payer system? Just shut down every health insurance company across the country? What about all of the investors of these companies? If this is a good idea, why dont you propose a plan to impliment it.

The USA has been an inspiration for a lot of democracies, but we really need to realize that the rest of the world understands this issue much better. The overhead the US spends on feeding health insurance companies and the gouging we take from drug companies, hospitals, etc. needs to be brought under control. It will eventually become apparent to companies, as it has to the majority of the country's doctors, that private health insurance is a racket and needs to be eliminated and replaced with a normal democratic system.

Health insurance is so up in the air right now - and it seems like something is going to give soon...but what do I know...the market says Im wrong. http://tinyurl.com/3qb699 On another note - they must have one heck of a profit margin per transaction - or one helluva b-plan...judging by compete & alexa - not that many people know about them yet.
