(10,237 posts)If so, that's ironic because I'm watching "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" right now on Netflix streaming.
You can tell just how exciting my life is!

Seriously, though, i heart Ruffalo. A lot of great activism, and him being more famous can only help put a bigger spotlight on them.

(2,515 posts)All the prices went sky high gradually beginning 2-3 decades ago once people stopped paying for health coverage by the household and started relying on employee provided insurance companies.
Govt sponsored insurance has an even worse track record.
I hope this ends well but it will not.
The latest plan has already doubled in estimated costs from what was first passed by the administration.
This philosophical meandering about war or health care is white noise.

(10,283 posts)...what was first passed by the administration."? Do you have some documentation or a source for that claim?
And where did you get this idea "Govt sponsored insurance has an even worse track record."? Medicare and Medicaid and the VA while needing improvement all have much better track records than private insurance.
The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)That says it will cost a family 20k/year.
Idiots are liars and didn't read the actual report.

(36,392 posts)This is a lie. It works in every country in the world except this one, and Medicare has about 1/5th of the overhead of the insurance leeches. Take your Hate Radio memes over to freeperville and peddle them to the idiots.

How about Bobby Jindal with his privati-- oh.
Can you provide some numbers for your claim please, because all of the policy studies contradict your claims. See privatized jails for help.

brush
(53,853 posts). . . but if we had single payer health care you wouldn't be filled for that tooth brush. All we have to do is get our priorities straight, like say less for war and more for care. That sounds like beautiful music to me.
