Jock, the reason that buying Medicare now or any other Government run healthcare program simply moves the power from private sector to the Government. There is no cost savings. Medicare and Medicaid are both way under funded and could go broke without hefty tax increases. Nothing is free.

Now, to compete against a government run anything is easy until they start taking money meant for other things to shore up their own ineptness. Look at the Post Office, they are closing offices left and right. They continually drain our tax dollars to subsidize that dog of a busioness. Look at most any government run entity and you will find both waste and fraud. Did you know Social Security will be the real back braker. It is so far in the whole people will be paying forever to dig our way out.
While everyone loves to pick on the insurance companies they are only a small part of the problem. Our healthcare delivery system is in shambles and mustt be changed but not by creating another government entitlment program....

i actually agree with just about everything you're saying. to clear things up, if you pay attention to all my posts on all the sci-tech feeds, i just like to argue on a random side. we used to do it in the tag program when i was in high school, we'd come up with a discussion topic, and you'd pick the side you disagreed with and argue that point. great exercise, and i love the reactions from other people, it's pretty cool to hear someone argue on your behalf when they think they're argueing against you.

one side effect- eventually it gets to the point you don't side with anyone. ah, i miss having adamant feelings about specific topics...
