questftbest, it appears you held a number of misconceptions, hopefully they have been cleared up so now you can come to an informed conclusion.

As admirable as your attempt is, facts have no place here. Reid is a Democrat, and therefore he hates babies with the burning passion of a thousand suns. There is no counter-argument.
Not to mention that they are all Communist/Socialist Fascists!

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.

What then is living idly in the world's super power which exploits countless third world countries through trade relations resulting in hundreds and hundreds of child deaths hourly?
We all have to call and write our Senators and House Reps to stop a government take over of our health care system that the majority of Americans opposse. We will end up paying more and getting less.
We already pay more and get less than the rest of the world.
Tell you what...the rest of us will choose affordable, public health care. You can cut a check to the insurance company CEOs and fund their golf games and golden parachutes.

what would be wrong with letting capitalism work, and allowing insurance companies to compete across state lines?
Why, so the rich can get richer? Capitalism is already working. The corporations are getting more and more of our money.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against a business making a fair profit and getting a return on investment. But these big health insurance companies have been making their own weather for far too long now, jacking up premiums at two and three times the rate of inflation for many, MANY years.

capitalism is not evil...it is broken by special interest groups. you do realize that in states such as Alabama there is only 1 insurance company? being as how there are around 1400 insurance companies in this country, allowing them to compete aginst each other would bring prices down.

I agree that capitalism in itself isn't evil, but some who operate within the system could be classed immoral . . . as in those who deny healthcare to their clients despite them having proper insurance cover. The problem is more that the quest to make a dollar often overrides the individual's need for access to medical resources. In a civilised, first-world society, that can't be right surely.
Opening up the insurance market SHOULD bring prices down (but I wouldn't bet on it being much . . . funny how companies can "agree" financial levels), but it may also increase the number of denials occurring. It would increase pressure within insurance companies to save money . . . perhaps at any cost? So, you would still have PROFIT battling against HEALTHCARE.
