I also want employers out of the system. Having said that, I want the damn government out of it as well.

So who's gonna pay for it? The fucking Pope?
Everybody should go out and buy their own insurance and fend for themselves against the insurance industry? Are you fucking nuts? The blonde and I have been there and done that...we were self-employed for 10 years and had to go out and buy our own health insurance coverage. We were raped with our pants on by the insurance industry. $10,000 dollars a year in premiums with a $10,000 deductible and that was just for two of us. Do you have a fucking clue what it would be for a family of 4 or 5? Really?
The only way to make this thing work is to have the government pay the doctors and hospitals, and have the money taken out of our taxes. Medicare works fucking fine. The government is not in your healthcare...all it does is pay the doctors and hospitals for your healthcare with your tax money. And if it was a universal system, not only would the cost as a percentage of GDP be cut in half, but whatever medicare fraud there is now would go away pretty goddamn fast because the federal government would be the only game in town if you're a provider.
Get caught defrauding the system and you're fucked forever. Go be a doctor in the fucking Democratic Republic of the Congo because once you're identified as a medical fraud perp, it's one of the only places you're gonna find where anybody is willing to give you a job.
