And you are 100% sure this is what's going to happen? what's your theory based on.. besides wishful thinking I mean? For cryin' out loud do you just swallow EVERYTHING the Federal Government tells you without at least giving it a seconds worth of thought? Companies will still have to pay for health care, just like they do now, only instead of putting the money into private sector companies they'll be sending it to the government and passing those costs along to the consumer. It's a zero sum game all this plan does is transfer who gets the money from the productive private sector to the non-productive (in our case counter productive) public sector.
The gub'ment promised that Medicare part D would save money and reduces costs, guess what , the latests estimates from the Social Security Administration show that is now carrying $8 Trillion in longterm unfunded liabilities and growing every year, how many times are you gonna fall for the same lie?
Our current unfunded liabilities ($56.4 Trillion) GUARANTEE that the federal government will need to either raise taxes to draconian levels, cut entitlements drastically or both... will you folks on the left never learn that there isn't an infinite supply of money to plunder from your fellow citizens and their children to pay for your social experiments? It's something we that live in the real world call UNAFFORDABLE, perhaps you should look it up.
In the meantime maybe you should take 30 minutes and watch this video, perhaps it'll open your eyes a bit.....

Single payer won't cost anywhere near what FOR PROFIT is costing us. Fact.
And social security has funding problems now because a lot are using it and not enough are paying in. That'll change when we go single payer for all.
Your fear of Gob'ment stems from back when Reagan and the GOP demonized it. Well you can't run government if you don't believe in it.
Everything wrong today is because of private companies. Big Oil, Big Insurance, Big Banks, Big Defense Contractors, etc.
Time to reign them in.
I love the arguments from both sides. Maybe we should just get rid of all government and all big business since they are both such bad things.
I don't want to get rid of either. Just like I don't want to get rid of church or state. I just want SEPERATION!!!!
We all know corporations own our politicians.
