When you are in uncomfortable position and have got no money to get out from that, you would have to receive the business loans. Because it will help you unquestionably. I get college loan every single year and feel myself great just because of this.

I just wanted to thank you very much for this illuminating article. I have already bookmarked your site, when I have more free time I am going to have to do some further browsing. Well back to my dreaming of Panama or back to the books – I wonder which one is going to win out.

Maybe government run healthcare will work out as good as other government run entities. Ya know, like the Post Office, Social Security, Medicaid itself, public schools (as of late), welfare, the national economy, and on and on and on. Yes.. lets let the government “fix” something else.

According to the TC blognosceti, you would think “progressive” and “capitalist” to be contradictions in terms.
At least they label every progressive idea as “socialist”.

Whoa, John Lloyd. I think your domain name is a little misleading. No doubt you are supporter of capitalism, but “progressive”? Not by the usual definition of the term. Based on your website, you seem to be of the “government is the problem” ilk.

Reading that you prefer government by popular referendum reminds me of something that has always resonated with me. In 1957, I believe it was, during the unrest associated with the integration of Little Rock High School, a popular referendum was held. It seems 70% of the citizens of Little Rock were opposed to integration. Does this mean that popular prejudice should have carried the day?

“The question is do we want to trust that largest corporation in the world, the U.S. Government.”

That would be “we the people”, and while I admit the people aren’t that trustworthy, they are more trustworthy that Aetna – at least they will provide heathcare while for many citizens Blue Cross won’t – not profitable. Medicare would be an example of this and I think it proves that it is better than private coverage used to be.
It’s too bad we can’t jst get Medicare for everyone.
In any case, my Rep – Grijalva – knows all about this and can be relied upon. Those of you unfortunate enough to have Gabby should write, though – she needs constant spine transplants.

USPS/IRS Health Care
Of those “50 million,” that lack insurance there were 45,000 who died without health care. With health care, 98,000 died FROM health care because of malpractice.
The question is do we want to trust that largest corporation in the world, the U.S. Government.
Do not expect house calls anytime soon.
We have seen how well the government delivers on its promises and its bureaucracies pursue the money without giving us benefits on so many levels. Imagine another organ of the government that only ultimately must listen to the Secretary of the Treasury – another “service” of which is the IRS.

That blog of mine above has several .pdf connections (HR. 3962 and two summaries, a few videos, and page references for new taxes and other mandates). If you cannot use the link, google “Progressive Capitalist H.R. 3962.”
If you believe the promises of this bill, you have to deal with the lie that it fosters competition with a government option called the “Public Option” and establishes the government as a monopoly making its own rules.

Don’t worry. You’ll run out of “rich” soon enough. We have at least a$12 trillion economy of which at least $1.8 trillion is spent on health care. If you read the bill, there are plenty of opportunities to soak the middle class, if you do not mind the 1.6 million made jobless.
