Because it is intended to compete with private insurance companies. It is intended to negotiate rates with providers just like every other insurance plan. Sadly, the current text of the bill does not reflect that, and if that doesn't change, I definitely do not support that provision.
Actually congress is pushing for non-negotiated reimbursment rates based on Medicare.
I can't attribute that to anything but pure paranoia.
Tell that to Venezuela!
I just can't understand how anyone could be for a government running something that is as important as health care when everything else it touches goes to shit. I guess I'm too stupid to wrap my head around it. Medicare, Social Security, FEMA, USPS-why they're just such a model of efficiency and solvency. Yes please give me more government; it's done so much for us already.
