That's the reward the insurance industry gets for its millions of dollars in campaign contributions. Nice to hear that even Obama can be bought. I was afraid things were going to change.<BR/><BR/>We can only hope there is a reasonable public option that employers can opt into. It would be simpler and less costly to go to a universal single-payer system that employers did not have to pay for, but there are enough politicians on the take that that will not happen overnight. Isn't our free-market political system great?<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, over 60% of Docs prefer a single-payer system, as do even more business leaders. So the Docs will not opt out for long.<BR/><BR/>And yea, yea, Ken. We'd like to trash freedom altogether.<BR/><BR/>Jack LohmanJack Lohmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214373845549362680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-46430407007254845372009-04-07T08:43:00.000-05:002009-04-07T08:43:00.000-05:00For some time now I have been advocating medical c...For some time now I have been advocating medical choice. (Is it not funny how those in favor of choice in one area so oppose it in others?)<BR/><BR/>That is, if you want socialized medicine, you can have it, but must pay a much higher tax rate than those of us who want freedom. The other part of the program is that any and all medical providers who wish can also opt out of the program, and refuse to provide services to the government funded program. I suspect very few socialists to favor my program, because freedom is probably the last thing on their agenda.<BR/><BR/>Ken Van DorenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
