75% of people have insurance so majority shouldnt take a hit...the middle man should not be cut out...

people forget ...what we got or get will never be enough so deal with it!

i like how you say "could" a lot in your paragraph...do we wana take that risk?

Oh, so you caught that. I bet you would also agree that it could work. It's not impossible, simply unfeasible. Every single entity that touches the treatment, be it the colleges, pharmaceuticals, DRs, hospitals, insurance, EMTs, builders of ambulances and medical technology etc etc would all need to lower their prices and fees for the common good. if not, OK, raise those taxes to pay for it. Then raise the taxes for the government jobs that would be needed to oversee the coverage. I just don't subscribe to the theory that it can't be done; of course it can; it would just be painful as Hell to the middle class.

A question to ponder; is there such a thing as semi socialism?
