- I do not believe this, and I consider this communistic solution to be a step backwards.
Manidate profits, make coverage national, and allow plan choices, like Medigap, and everyone will be better off. An overly strong government is taxing at best, and evil most the time.
Businessweek is a liberal rag.

- To quote Winston Churchill: "The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative."
One day, we as a nation will collectively realize that private, for-profit health insurance only serves shareholders at the expense of policyholders. It is a cancer on our system, and ultimately we will cast off the oppressive boat-anchor-tied-to-a-noose that is the private, for-profit health insurance industry.
It is an accident and an anachronism that we can no longer afford. Millions of Americans are literally dying for this change.
Let's let insurers focus on home, business, auto, life, and other forms of insurance that make sense and get them out of the business of routinely denying health care to those that need it.
We can save hundreds of billions of dollars a year as a nation, improve innovation and quality, and make sure that nobody is exposed to financial ruin as the result of medical misfortune.
It's good to see the docs now on the side of National Health Insurance. When Canada first converted (in Saskatchewan), all the docs went on strike for many of the same reasons the AMA has opposed it here. They all soon realized that those fears were unfounded, and the Canadian leader of the opposition now acknowledges his 'mea culpa' and says that he would not ever want to give up the universal health care system they have now.
