Why have the people that sold this country out including retirees so opposed to health care reform?

Propaganda! I have read the entire 1018 pages of the the proposed reform. Im also a third year Med student. I have read and heard all the lies and added language from lobbyist that have placed major spins on the topic. The current system is broken. It appears that the ones with money to lose are spreading all the lies. Leading cause of bankruptcy in America is from individuals with health insurance but are overwhelmed with medical bills. A great example is my wife's policy is 900 a month. She has a 2500 a year deductible. Preventative care costs have to be paid as part of the deductible (500 for a mammogram and 375 for a prostate exam). I was hospitalized and transferred 3 times each time a new MRI had to be conducted billing my insurance over 16,000 for duplicate tests due to each hospitals policy. It is stealing. Go to a dentist and pay cash you will find the cost will be a third of what it would of been if you had dental insurance. The time is now. I have interviewed veterans in our local VA hospital. None of them have been asked to sign away their right to life. I suspect the same individuals that are profiting from outsourcing customer service, textiles and manufacturing base (tangibles that have rebounded us from previous recessions) are behind this.

The current system is broken and needs changing, but putting our fate into the hands of the government (which has shown they can't even run Cash for Clunkers properly) would be a HUGE mistake. For one, it will be a case of cost-cutting, as you are a med student I'm sure you are aware the majority of health costs one runs up takes place within the last couple of years of life. There are documented cases in other nations with a NHC system that the government denied care to people not only for money reasons but felt that the treatments would not help them. Do you want that here, your fate and the fate of your family in the hands of some bureaucrat who has screwed everything else up to this point? Plus, the option of public care will eventually be the ONLY option. Many insurance companies will go out of business because they can't compete with the federal government and then the only option will be a government-based system. President Obama has said in the past he supports such a program and they are piecemealing it in. Finally, let's just say all this happens and the recession continues to chug along and the economy is still slow for the next few years. Are you willing to pay skyrocketing taxes to pay for this system? Because the biggest propaganda thing is that it's free health care, and there is no such thing as a free lunch. I'm already taxed enough and I'd only be willing to such a program if it's effective, efficient, convenient, and doesn't use one penny of mine or anyone else's tax dollars to pay for it. A real solution would be one that Governor Huckabee proposed during the presidential election. Individual-based insurance that we can purchase from private companies at an affordable rate that we can take with us. If we change jobs, we don't have to mess with changing around insurance or anything like that. I know companies like Blue Cross/Blue Shield offer them but they cost an arm and a leg.
