You can bet your derriere that the Insurance Companies are against Government Provided Health Care.

Now just why would that be? Because they want us to have the best of care? You know better than that don't you.

Then there's the DumA's who think that "It's Socialized Medicine and that is bad". Pressed they won't be able to give you and honest answer, all they will do is repeat the mantra.

They don't realize that Medicare doesn't cover dental and vision care and has great limitations on what is payed. A person depending strictly on Medicare is in danger of dying from LACK of medical care.

  "You can bet your derriere that the Insurance Companies are against Government Provided Health Care."
  
  Agreed.
  
  I have been a healthcare reform advocate for years. In fact, I was a whistleblower in the healthcare industry for roughly seven years. I am not enamored of Obama's "reform" plan, because it is largely reform in name only.
  
  There is nothing like single payor. Administered in the same manner as Medicare, it eliminates not only the vast majority of administrative overhead on the payor end, by simplification of billing, collections, and receivables it results in significant savings for health providers as well.
  
  The Obama plan is based on a contradiction - He doesn't want to go single payor because "healthcare is the sixth largest sector of our economy" but it is the sixth largest sector of our economy in part because of the insane waste and unrestrained profiteering. Thus, if he wants to implement meaningful reform, it will negatively impact the cash flow in the healthcare sector. Duh. If he wants to keep healthcare as profitable as it currently is, he cannot implement meaningful reforms which will reduce the waste and the unrestrained profiteering.
  
  I say there's nothing like single payor, and what Obama proposes is nothing like single payor. It is much like the Clinton plan, a disfunctional proposal to fix the chicken coop without getting rid of the weasels.
  
  Don't fall for the Obama plan. Demand real healthcare reform. Demand single payor universal health coverage for all Americans.
