If by government run you mean they collect the dues and then bid them out to private companies who compete for the business, then sure.
The biggest problem is people aren't paying dues. A lot of the people without insurance choose not to have it. |

Abortion funding within set parameters is fairly standard amongst other countries so I would hardly call it hardcore left.
Well I have no say in the policies of other countries. In fact, I would like to close all of our foreign bases and let other countries defend themselves but that is for another thread I suppose. As a Christian and a human being, I think abortion is cold blooded murder and I won't have the crazed liberals taking my money to pay for it. |

We've gotten the reckless spenders out of office already, the Replublicans, you know the ones that keep raising our debt faster than the Democrat presidents. |

To put it bluntly, they will take money from our pay checks to kill babies. Obama and his liberal cronies are sick in the head.
Your healthcare is the laughing stock of the world. Sheep though most Republicans are, some intelligent conservatives can see healthcare being a basic human right. I personally believe Obama needs to fo further and try and implement a NHS style healthcare system, but no doubt selfish and ignorant Americans such as yourself will make that very hard for him.

Better not cut your fingernails in future, you'll be killing as many cells by doing that as you would aborting. How could you possibly live with yourslf after killing those poor, innocent fingernail cells? You'd be a cold blooded killer for sure.

Why do they choose not to have it?

Agreed. How can anyone argue against "liberal cronies [who] are sick in the head?" |
