		<description>Anyone who wants this - especially health care providers - should read the first 10 or 15 pages of SB 840.  I counted at least 8 layers of bureaucracy (not including the little fiefdoms it mandates).  If this bill eventually passes, even watered down, I, as a future health care provider, am leaving the state.  I would suspect there will be a mass exodus of doctors out of California.  And by the way, prescription prices will not come down much, if at all, because a provision in the bill protects research at pharmaceutical companies.

Read this bill and find out who is going to be exempt (it&#039;s almost entirely arbitrary - union shops, state employees of all stripes as well as the entire legislative branch, and anyone with a contract, such as CEO&#039;s and directors of private companies).  Otherwise, your employer will dump health care benefits the next day and let the government take it over as a means of cost savings.  Doctors, because there is no tort control and because fees are set by the government, will flee California en masse.  So, doctors will not see a dime&#039;s savings in their $500,000 yearly mal-practice insurance payments.  Californians will move to the border regions in order to see doctors, clinics, and hopitals along the Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona borders, where there will be freedom to practice as you wish.

Back around 1974, the Democrat-controlled US House and Senate passed the HMO bill.  Now, fast-forward to what we currently have thanks to government intervention.  These people think they so much smarter than you or me and that we are too stupid to know what is good for us.  Reagan was right - government isn&#039;t the answer; it&#039;s the problem.</description>

		<description>But again, the USA is different.  The USA is very multi-racial (basically a new Babylon) and the different racial groups compete with each other to get goodies from the government.   So while single-payer might sound good, in the USA it means that health care will be rationed out on the basis of race.  If you are in a race that is in favor with the current administration, then you will get decent health care.  Otherwise, you will get just the leavings.  Nobody who advocates single-payer wants to face this issue.

Another issue is the rationing.  Health care is in limited supply.  Huge numbers of baby-boomer doctors are on the verge of retirement.  If health care is declared to be &quot;free&quot; then people will start making massive numbers of appointments to see the dwindling supply of doctors.  A rationing system will have to be imposed.  There will be waiting times, perhaps many months.   Think about what would happen if gasoline was made &quot;free&quot;.  Anyone could drive up to a gas station and fill up without paying.  Every station would be drained of gas in a few hours.   They wouldn&#039;t get a refill until a week later.  I&#039;m describing a Soviet style existence.  That&#039;s what single-payer would do to us.  But the Left doesn&#039;t care. They don&#039;t care what they do to us.  They just know the single-payer is &quot;good&quot;.</description>

		<description>I just stumbled upon this and must say that Michael Hampton is the stupid one and he needs to be the first in line to see Michale Moore&#039;s new movie, which is getting rave reviews from even Fox News. Michael, there would be no lines to wait and see doctors - that&#039;s an outright LIE.  Where did you get this nonsense?  If you would like to know about the bill, now renamed since its last introduction, go to www.myspace.com/onecarenoworg or onecarenow.org

And here are some FACTS for you about our current system, you birdbrain.

The U.S. ranks 37th in health of its people according to the World Health Organization.

According to the Institutes of Medicine 18,000 people die a year for lack of health insurance in the U.S.

44 million people in America are without any insurance—most working full time—and including many children.

The cost of insurance precludes many from affording the premiums.

Many of those with insurance are hit with co-payments, deductibles and restrictions that keep them from getting the care they thought they would get or need.</description>

I kind of automatically disagree with that sentiment, because I detest whatever you want to call the way we do things now. [...]</description>

California is different.   We have a very large number of immigrants.
Most of the immigrants work &quot;under the table&quot; for cash only.   They are
not part of the income tax system.  They don&#039;t pay.  The only tax they
pay is sales tax and gasoline tax.
In France you don&#039;t have this problem, or not as much.   Here, it&#039;s
a very big problem.</description>

		<description>HEALTH CARE BY GOVERNEMENT: IT WORKS WELL IN MY COUNTRY !!

In France,there is a national health care system, finaned by companies
and employees contributionand also by a tax on all revenues.
You can choose your practicer,and we do not experience any significant
emigration of our best doctors ro surgeons.
Why the californians could not take benefit of a sort or US RED CROSS ?
It&#039;s a good idea to implement such a system to secure people , excluding
all the cost of comfort as TV set in your room at hospital.
Thsi will be a good exemple of american solidarity .</description>

		<description>&quot;Canada, the UK, and France all have LOWER infant mortality rates&quot;

43% of school age children in the U.S. are from the third world.

If the U.S. has a &quot;third world&quot; infant mortality rate, it&#039;s because
increasingly, the U.S. _is_ a third world country.   Most critics
of the U.S. fail to address this crucial point.</description>

		<description>Canada, UK and France also have much lower population growth rates. Life expectancy isn&#039;t merely based on the state of the healthcare system, either.</description>
