[CitizensTruth] The Government can ...

[Mike Kirk]

Hal,

My primary opposition is sending more money to Washington - they seem to re-allocate it for other purposes (war, bailouts, foreign aid to dictators, pork projects) that I disagree with. 

If the states were to manage the healthcare option, then I would be more likely to support it - as the funds would have less chance for misuse.

Some needed changes that could be achieved through legislation:
   - Laws requiring all health insurance to be non-profit only
   - Laws to prevent exclusion based on pre-existing conditions
   - Financially reward providers and patients (tax deductions) for taking early preventative healthcare measures to lower costs of catastrophic care.

This might help to improve the problems with the current system - they are probably already there in some form.

But, the three best doctors I know of are:   Dr. Diet,  Dr. Quiet and Dr. Merryman.   :-)

Regards,
-Mike

Thanks, Mike.

Back at you:

Why We Need Government-Run Universal Socialized Health Insurance

The topic is health insurance, but it could just as easily be public works, gearing up for sustainable energy, healing and protecting the environment, relocalizing our economy, dealing with peak oil/soil/water etc.

I think there are good reasons people shift toward either libertarian or liberal (or you could say anarchist vs. socialist to be inflammatory) poles.
