Reply #16: If it is not single payer, it will fail [View All]

Any politician who makes a plan that will force people to buy anything will not be invited back. No one has money. Even those with money dont' have money. So if it comes with a $200 a month bill, Americans can not pay that, and will not pay that, and will resent anyone forcing them to buy for profit product that they really can not afford. Forcing people to chip in on high end executive pay, after already pumping trillions of our dollars into the banks....what are we, chattle? Human ATM machinces?
People who do not have insurance can not afford to buy insurance. Only an idioit politcian would think that a mandate will suddenly make it possible to get blood from a turnip.
If they want to mandate a huge monthly premium for their buddies, they will fail. The project itself will fail. And the politicians who did it will be sent packing. This is a very bad econominc time, and all the help is for the Banks and Insurance Companies, the very entities that put us in the gutter.
