Isn't it funny how liberals can turn into conservatives, but conservatives NEVER turn into liberals

Our health care costs way more per capita than any other country in the world. We need more preventive medicine and we need to regulate the out of control drug prices and the over-prescribing of medications for starters. Doctors get kickbacks to perscribe drugs. There should be incentives to be responsible. No health care for illegals. You have to pay more for certain high risk activities like smoking, getting fat, etc. I don't like this culture of telling people to do whatever they want, and the government will take care of you if something happens. We should have some kind of health care system in place for all, but it should have some common sense stipulations that encourage being responsible.

Once that switch is flipped, you don't can't go back to seeing the world that way.

As I stated in my previous post, you simply don’t resolve these problems by instituting a “government run” healthcare system overseen by the very people that corrupted the one we have already. The overriding issue is the corruption and lack of accountability. Fix that, fix the problem. The socialist way is a recipe for abject failure and much bigger government/more consolidated power, which is precisely why they’re pushing it so hard.

I agree. Every healthcare issue mentioned is an issue that desperately needs to be fixed, so let's fix it. Having the state run it because it's broken is just a bandaid. It's overly regulated and infested with cronyism, so adding more .gov into the mix can't be good.

Name one thing the government has effectively, or even efficiently run other than propaganda campaigns...
