We do not have the infrastructure in the US to support this and there are few cost containment measures in place. Though in reality, all the government is going to do is print more money so it doesn't really matter. - I'm not saying I am a fan of the current system, but this one isn't viable. lack of support for the arts is another issue as those who know me are aware, i’m a fan of figuring out how to fix that (and Riese amazing health insurance).

The current bill may have room for improvement, but new things can always be added on gradually to improve the healthcare system. Once we have a passed piece of legislation to work from, we'll be able to prevent healthcare costs from rising and make nationalized healthcare even more complex. why the condescending “darling?”
