Well, I have news for some of you. Some of us doctors won't be taking ANY of your stinking insurance, public or not, because the pay is CRAP. "This is my fee. I will provide you with a receipt. You may seek to be reimbursed by whatever insurance you have, that is your business. No, I will not speak to your insurance company."
You will notice one thing that is missing from any of this discussion: incentive to live healthier. Fatty nation, led by a smoking president and a portly Surgeon General will magically administratively lower the cost of healthcare. It's going to be "magic."

Incentive to live healthier is a huge part of this discussion. You haven't been listening. Preventive health care, for example, is one of the primary goals of the new plan.
And you pulled out the communist card? Why didn't you just go straight for the "it's the plan the Nazis would have loved" argument? Sheesh.
