		<description><![CDATA[America should be wary of any law which Congress passes for US -- but not for THEMSELVES. 
 
In fact, we should seriously reconsider ALL of the perks which Congress has voted for its&#039; members. If eevery law they passed applied to themselves -- no exceptions -- as well as to the rest of us, we&#039;d see a whole new demeanor in DC -- and a vastly DIFFERENT set of laws. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The real question is why they want a single payer system.  Clearly, that is what the ACA is designed to do; all the interim fussing is necessary as transition steps along the road to hell. 
 
I think they want it because the government can then unionize all the workers and create a vast army of loyal Democrat voters.  What do you think? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You got it exactly right.  Obamacare is designed to devastate the private healthcare industry in America and create chaos that will all be blamed on greedy insurance companies, hospitals, and doctors.  Single payer will be touted as the &quot;solution&quot; to the problem and trumpeted everywhere by the Democrats and their media shills.   
Obama knew he could never get the single payer system he wants until he destroyed the current system that most people like.  
  
Obama said as much in this video back in 2003.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpAyan1fXCE&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpAyan1fXCE&lt;/a&gt; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maybe some of the good doctors and staff will have medical ships outside the territorial waters, for we people who want to pay for our health care.  When I read somewhere China does not have socialized health care, I wondered why.  Then was told it is TOO EXPENSIVE AND PEOPLE DO NOT GET GOOD CARE. 
Go figure! 
Best advice I have is hide your money, close your businesses, stock up on supplies, and let Obummer and his troops flop around in their waste and fraud pool and get ready for some really scary times in this country. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Please explain to me, if Obamacare is the wonderful answer to medical insurance, then shouldn&#039;t the first people to sigh up, and lead by example be the President, VP, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of congress? Why are some powerful Unions allowed to be exempted? From the begining it sounded and smelled fishy, shouldn&#039;t all Americans be required to participate? 
Also using President Obama and his administration&#039;s numbers, 30 million americans are without affordable Health Insurance. Even realizing the 30 million figure included some very generous accounting, the latest tally of Americans exceeds 300 million. So for less than 10% of the population, the Democrats have ruined the best health care system in the world. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, I had also mentioned that it takes on average $300 million dollars for a compound to go to the bench to the pharmacy.  One of the reasons drugs cost so much is that pharma has put so much money behind just the ones that actually get to market, let alone the many compounds that never get out of Phase I.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris,  
 
My other message got deleted/delayed some how.   
 
I was writing that federal researchers, who make critical discoveries about human biology but which can not be (and often should not be) monetized, create the basic knowledge for private researchers to hopefully create new drugs and devices which are practical, and profitable. 
 
Private companies would go bankrupt discovering, for instance, how a disease works, if there is no way to make up the enormous investment.   
 
Private researchers would not have the information they need to create new products without the feds, and the federal researchers&#039; knowlege would be meaningless without private industry coming up with innovative technologies.  Both work hand in hand.    ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Relax, Chris.  Not every discussion has to be war.   
 
Basic science researchers get a salary from grants and universities, and discover basic things about human biology for which there is often no profit, but which are enormously important.  Often the knowledge doesn&#039;t lead to practical applications at this stage.   
 
Drug manufacturers take that basic biology knowledge and hopefully transform them into practical new drugs and devices, and of course do and should make a profit from it.  It takes about $300 million dollars for the average compound to go from the bench to the pharmacy.   
 
This is probably the best example of public and private cooperation there is.  Private industry could not possibly stay in business for very long figuring out the human genome, for instance, because it is so very costly and no way to monetize it.  But it will probably be private industry, using government-gained knowedge, that will create practical usages of it. 
 
That&#039;s how it works.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Really, the inefficiencies are the same?  Then why does Medicare have a 45 trillion unfunded liability.  If you remove federal impediments and let them compete just like any other market prices go down. And your solution is the European single payer system that you love.  The NHS in Britain is the third largest employer in the world and it only has 60million people, how many bureacrats will we need?  Researchers work for free?  Do you do your research for free?  What breakthroughs have you made?  The company doesn&#039;t pay them.  Are you saying there is no private funding.  As for the profit model, it works, what happens when federally funded i.e. taxpayer funded research fails?  They just take more.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;...you could buy a lot of medical care for that much money. And, if you didn&#039;t use all of it, you could use it for other things you needed to buy.&quot; 
 
That is sort of the basis for the medical savings accounts, by the way, something I think is innovative.   
 
You are illustrating how crazy the whole costs of healthcare are.  The question is why does it have to be that way?   
 
I&#039;d love to pay $100 a year cash for my annual physical, $20 if I need a flu shot, and go on my merry way, all while paying say, $1,000 a year spread over 12 months to cover any big accidents, surgeries, chemo, etc. I might need, but it doesn&#039;t work that way. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The inefficiencies of Medicare are the same for private insurance.  The perverse incentives are the same.  The cost of billing is the same.  Hospitals overcharge whether Medicare or private insurance.  It&#039;s a terribly inefficent market.   
 
&quot;Researchers&quot; don&#039;t get paid for their inventions, the company does- as they should.  And much of the innovations are first found in basic, federally funded bench research for which there is no profit model.  I happen to have worked in clinical trials/drug development for the past 20 years. 
   
Yes, we agree on the need for tort reform, and a lot of other things.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Read my stand alone post below, EarlyBird.   Obamacare is designed to bring about a single payer system, and barney frank admitted it on video to some fellow moonbats who were upset that obamacare wasn&#039;t one, and were hounding him for it.   Obama, his heath care advisors, and appointees have talked of this &quot;intermediary,&quot; or &quot;transitional&quot; phase, and obamacare is obviously it.   It&#039;s certainly &#039;working&#039; like it is. ]]></description>
