Really? The current Senate bill supposedly being voted on says
different

We?

It's not health care thats destroying the system, Take a poll on
people who are happy with their coverage, I'm one of them. And if you
had read the Senate bill you'd know that "Option" becomes mandatory
when you change jobs later.

We?

And when has government intervention resulted in anything being more
affordable and easily available?

Apparently that isn't the case since last year the Post Office lost
almost 5 billion dollars. And very soon have those same people plunk
their package down on the counter at any Post Office on Saturday and
see what happens. I used to work for UPS, you'll never find any
company more efficient, government can never compete with the private
sector, they can only hinder and destroy it

Yet they aren't are they?

Yet they aren't are they? When you give people something for nothing
I'm sure they will say no way

Soon people will be saying that about Obamacare if it passes, then
again it will likely be several years later and like Medicare too late
to be able to fix it
