Yes. 1)Gov is stockpiling food, 2)Endangered Species Act used to withhold irrigation water from northern California farmland, we'll feel it starting this autumn, 3)built detention camps (yes), 4)border patrol training maneuvers included tactics to keep people IN, 5)hundreds of thousands of UN peacekeepers/soldiers quietly stationed here, 5)shadow gov's been testing tech insurgence, attacking our grid, 6)disarmament maneuvers conducted recently, anti-constitutional gun search and confiscations, (LA, MT)---anything I've left out?

I haven't been to see a doctor in over 20 years, and will not. I could pay more taxes and accept coverage, but will I be forced to use it under 3200 or the House bill? I think the answer is, "yes" because if I don't receive "preventative" care, I will cost the system more in the long run, (according to BO and proponents). So, they'll fine me for being healthy and responsible for my own health. Does that sound ridiculous to anyone else?

Thank you!

That sounds reasonable and covers a couple of bases. About keeping the money out of the wrong hands and prevention of augmenting the coverage to include other diseases, maybe the program should be state-run?

My idea is that, if health care premiums dropped by 50% or more, then there would be no public outcry for further reform, then such augmentation of the program would not occur. I really should contact an actuary and sit down with a medical administrator and delve for facts. It would be great if people dropped their politics and came together to forge an actual solution to the problems that costs us less than our expenditures today, while providing for the needs people can't afford to because of the system today. Win/win.

First of all, thank you!

I haven't been to see a doctor in over 20 years. I stay away from fluoridated water, eat organic when able and watch my weight, so I'm pretty healthy. Parents are old and the same way--no doctors, and opt out of Medicare.

I don't, personally, care about health coverage, but the left won't stop trying to get universal passed, and we all know what that would lead to. I'd rather do something like this that actually benefits people, can be cost-controlled and keeps universal and single-pay out of the picture. Is it really socialism, or protecting our freedom of choice?

No one? Posted this at least 5 times since yesterday without a single response. What are you all trying to do here on this site--just b & moan, or help? If your end goal isn't to improve the state of our union, then you are a waste of time.

What happens if we take cancer out of the actuarial scenario? Why not publicly fund cancer care centers and make that care available free to cancer patients and leave the rest of the health care system intact? Would this be an efficient, cost-effective improvement to our health care?

Dental insurance is very affordable and easily available at around $100 year. The reason is you never see a million dollars of dental work for one patient, often not more than $10,000, right?

What happens if we take cancer out of the actuarial scenario? Premiums would certainly decrease, and it would be interesting to find out how much. Any actuary reading this who can shed some light on this? I was thinking that insead of public funding of ALL health care, why not just publicly fund cancer care centers and make that care available free to cancer patients and leave the rest of the health care system intact? Most pre-existing conditions precluding affordable coverage are cancer-related, so that would take care of that issue.

Would this be an efficient, cost-effective improvement to our health care?

I agree, I just can't list them all because people stop reading once the post exceeds a tweet. What are we coming to...
