Some probably have but will never admit it.

I can already see that you have deduced that this is an incredibly complex problem. The mistake often made here is that more medical procedures equals better health. In America, that might be marginally true, and I agree that obesity is the #1 health problem in the US. I am not in favor of throwing more money at a problem so large and so pervasive that few really understand its true nature. I AM in favor of a detailed and lengthy analysis of just what we are doing wrong, or badly, that other economies aren’t doing.

Meanwhile, we must allow access to medical care for those who need it, and at a cost/price that is affordable to them. One of these problems is the preexisting-conditions clause of private insurance. No matter how much money I make, I can’t get private insurance because I have 4 preexisting conditions. For Americans in the same boat as I, there needs to be serious reform and control of the oligopoly of the insurance industry, and I believe that this move should come first.

The FACT is that Americans pay DOUBLE (per person) what Europeans and Canadians pay (on average), and still have a SHORTER LIFE EXPECTANCY ...

37 million uninsured Americans is not enough?

"But can we at least use facts to debate the real issue instead of liberal "scare tactics." "

You mean like saying that the government is going to use "death panels" to "kill grandma"?

Or saying that Obama is proposing "socialized medicine", that you won’t be able to keep your same doctor, or you’ll have to give up your current coverage?

The current "system" is a mess, and you seem to minimize the huge costs associated with providing expensive emergency room treatment for all of the nation’s uninsured at taxpayer expense.

Wow, I can see you can cut and paste. Congratulations.

Edit: I don’t care what your position is any more than you care about my position — do you think you’re going to "change anyone’s mind" on the issue because you post an article?

You are only allowed to use facts approved by the white house. To do otherwise, it would seem that you are questioning the wisdom and vision of The Obama.
