What if there were a health Care option that cost less, covered more, and provided quicker access to doctors? What if your health care provider offered 24/7 video chat and instant messaging for mental health counseling? What if there were no co-pay, if prescriptions could be renewed online or via phone? what if you had access to the best medical specialists in the world? what if emergency room waits were reduced to minutes as opposed to hours? Guess what. That option exists. Our servicemembers have it. They wouldn’t trade it for your BCBS plan for anything. It’s a Government managed program. Your legislators, the Republican ones who insiste you don’twant a plan like that have and use it.

So. Either it’s good enough for our Soldiers and Legislators who, could always afford a private plan if they wanted to, or we are shorting our Soldiers and legislators. Pick One.

Let’s keep a few points in mind while this debate rages.

1. Every one will still have the option of a private plan if they prefer one. CHances are good that the private plans will actually become cheaper and more competitive in the face of actualy competition.
2. No one’s gonna kill Grandma. BUT they will offer grandma counseling to help her decide where she wants to live out the last of her life. I for one know that if I know for a fact that I will be dying soon, with no reasonable options to prolong my life with any quality of life, I would love for my health care provider to provide a way for me to spend those last days in my own home surrounded by my own family and not be limited to seeing them during hospital visiting hours. THAT is what the living will portion of the bill addresses.
3. Illegal Immigrants won’t suddenly get free health care. As a matter of fact, under a Government option, Illegal Immigrants won’t be eligible for care.

Try to read just a little, learn just a touch, avoid the hyperbole, avoid the hype, avoid the drama, learn the truth, develop your OWN opinion, don’t just adopt someone else’s just because they speak louder than the next person. and don’t mention “Nazi Programs” to a Jewish legislator.
