    Time for single payer? If the price gouging goes on long enough, and if we get another liberal administration, it's within the realm of possibility...

      I see what the government does with the VA. Pass.

          Many folks figured that was what the whole Obamacare fiasco was designed to lead to from the start.

              so if they went to a single payer system, what happens to all of those huge health insurance companies? United, Humana, Anthem?

              And if there is a single payer, does that mean that eventually the doctors and healthcare workers will just be working for Federally owned hospitals? At government mandated salaries?

                And everyone associated with the hospital. More government employees. More government pensions. More government overspending. More corruption and collusion...

                  Bill Clinton caught making another truthful utterance!

                  "One of the problems with [Obamacare], we can all tick them off, right? The copays, deductibles and premiums are too high, and the drug prices are too high."

                    or less doctors, nurses, etc. Why would they want to go into a profession where they have to work for the government, for government pay? Instead of making $400K a year, or whatever, the government could say doctors only make $100K now because we have to cut healthcare costs or there is no budget. It will be the VA system for everyone!

                      well that is the setup for the Government control of all healthcare, including the pharmaceutical companies so they can control drug costs.

                        You would think people would be suspicious of a full government takeover after Obamacare has done exactly the opposite of what was promised. Unfortunately, there are a lot of very stupid people out there.

                          They are thinking of how much money it will save them if they don't have to pay anything for healthcare. It will all be free. Yet what will actually happen is instead of paying premiums to insurance companies and deductibles, the government will just charge a health-care tax, which you have no choice over, and make you pay even more for worse care. And they can raise the rates any time and you have no control over it at all.

                          Or worse, they will charge you taxes and you will still have to pay a "deductible" to the doctors and hospitals.
