I should have phrased as "will eventually kill private insurance, and a single payer plan will be 'necessary'."

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Sometime in the future - if A and B and C were to all happen - the sky is falling!


Can't we stick to debating what "is", rather than what someday might be?

There's plenty of difference of opinion and stuff to debate if we just concentrate on reality alone

You are completely unawares that one of the first things you received from Obama was a tax cut, aren't you?

The tornado warning is WellPoint raising insurance rates in most of their markets.

was this tax cut I got the one where I rec'd 250 from IRS, with the express
demand it would be included on my 2009 record.....good one!

Who is under WellPoints' umbrella? Don't worry....not a trick question!

Anthem Blue Cross. They are the ones with the rate hike in CA that has everyone in a tizzy. But they are also raising rates double digits in other states.

I'd seem rumors to the effect that Medicare rates were going up 40%. I have Anthem Blue Cross now, but have to switch to Medicare in June. Oh well, I don't really need to have vacations for the rest of my life!
