Please do your homework on single-payer systems. Without exception they are a disaster both in quality and quantity of care. Study both Great Britain and Canada.

Obama didn't say anything new, and he never addressed the real problem: Cost. The medical programs currently run by the government are bankrupting the country according to his own admission. He claims he won't sign any solution that isn't self-supporting--NICE TRY! Look at the facts. Anyone who believes this hasn't been paying attention to what happens whenever the government does anything.

Cost can be controlled through changes that involve the government in one way: Get rid of government mandates altogether.

No one who has been paying attention would fail to notice that there is no problem bad enough that the government can't make it worse.
