Obama has always wanted a single-payer health plan for the United States, this is nothing new. He does not like the concept of profit based insurance. In many ways, I'd agree. That putting health concerns with a price tag is a problem, however, I live in the real world. Innovation in medicine costs money. It isn't free. Look around the world, you'll find that 80%+ of all Nobel prizes given in medicine go to US citizens, why is that?
Should Aspirin in the hospital cost $140.00...of course not, but you don't fix that problem with what we're apparently doing. Do people get turned away for no coverage? If so, I'd like to know where. This isn't the case in Maryland. There is a placard on every hospital wall that states you can not be thrown out or not allowed care because of lack of insurance. Also, if you work for a small business, in most cases, no pre-existing condition keeps you from coverage. So please someone enlighten me as to what states do not apply these practices. I have a funny feeling, they will be the liberal states
