HUH! And how is Medicare implicated in this "scam"? What would they get
out of it?



i dunno. nothing. just funneling money to the wheelchair manufacturer(?).



As for the argument against the public option, the most serious one is
that it could be manipulated to control the insurance industry -- even to
squeeze it out. Interestingly, that's also a serious argument *in favor*
of the public option.

Which side of that argument do you fall on?



i want to see the private health insurance companies driven out of business.

Yeah, ditto that. The whole private insurance business model for health
care just doesn't work. The idea that a company that is out to maximize
profits for it's shareholders is the best method to provide good quality
health care for all is a joke. They have to reduce payouts as much as
possible and eliminate as many sick people as they can to increase
profits. How can a system like that be the best to provide good, low
cost health care to a country's population? The simple answer is that it
can't. Time to face that fact and move into the 21st century.
