I am 63. Been disabled since 1980 when I got injured at work. I have had 3 back surgies(5disc & 2 nerves.) I was forced to go on SSD after my workers comp ran out in 1983. At first medica was pretty good but then my wife ( a LNA) put me on her insurence because medica was covering less &less of my medical, They would not pay for a heart operation because they said it was not a medical emergency. I got the procedure but 2 years later after fighting in court but not by medica but by my private insurance. I still have medica but the only thing they pay is my deductable$ 5. I spend about $650 A month on meds which they use to pay half but pay nothing any more. Is this what we can expect if we have goverment run insurance for every one?

Government run insurance, just like government run anything else, is the highest cost for the least benefits - it's the least effecient.
The purpose of government, in the eyes of the bureaucrats, is to grow itself larger, and make more problems, because if it doesn't do that, the government employees are OUT OF A JOB. They don't WANT to be out of a job, they don't WANT you to be able to get what you want on your own, or in the private market, because THEY DON'T WANT TO LOSE THEIR JOBS. Which, by the way, provide benefits and compensation better than you can ever find in the private market, because . . . YOU PAY FOR IT.

The government exists (at least ours) to oppress its own people.
