Hard to farm out services, but if UHC is going to be I'd rather see it done by those with a track record instead of a bunch of politicians who have decided that legislating in advance of knowledge.
Hell I'll let the French pay me if they have a clue.
So you are for single payer? I thought you were against reform. I'm glad I was wrong.
I'm against forcing something through without due consideration. What we have proposed is legislation in advance of an open and thoughtful process to determine what may be done and how. Because of this, I strongly oppose the government inserting itself when it has no idea what's going on.
I'm not married to any system. Health care has problems, and I'm all for examining the possibilities, however to make an analogy, how stupid would it be to mount an armed campaign without knowing what the situation is? Would you want to risk your life to leaders who won't even consider the possible outcomes of their orders? No, you would not. Likewise peoples lives will be affected by this for good or ill.
Would you send your men into battle with nothing than a plan that says "fight the enemy, and here is a thousand pages of documentation, but we don't have any information on what it really means?"
Hell no you would not.
Since lives are going to be forever affected by this I want it right. If people thing it's hard to get this in at all, you're going to be astounded how hard it's going to be to change.
As I've been saying, I won't sign off on a pig in a poke. Show me something well examined and thought out by experts who actually care for people, then it's another thing entirely.
That's not the same as wanting no reform at all.
