"waste, fraud, and abuse"

"waste, fraud, and abuse" heard of them? They are the mythical strawmen used to prevent the elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse. The waste, fraud, and abuse inhering in the current medical insurance scheme in America arises at the profit centers of the health insurance industry. Want to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in health care Mr. Prez? Then nationalize all the health insurance companies now! seize all their worldwide assets and jail their corrupt, criminal, cartel leadership! No, of course that won't happen...unless... the American people DEMAND it!

Everyone's health care is

Everyone's health care is already in jeopardy. And the strategy of "enhancing" the current system, is laughable. Single Payer. A single risk pool. Everyone in, no one out. Economies of scale. The mandate to negotiate for the best prices. Single Payer would be the best possible reform. We need a leader President Obama. We DO NOT LIKE THE PLANS WE HAVE. And we have no choice. High Deductibles. High co-pays and co-insurance and when you need it most - it's not there. Number one cause of US bankruptcies are medical related. THAT needs fixing. Single Payer, NOW!

Thank you for explaining

Thank you for explaining this plan. As a senior it was very upsetting to hear about the Social Security cuts in Medicare.
