Which healthcare plan would you find acceptable?

[Dawgs]

Please choose the plan that you would be willing to accept; not necessarily your most desirable. For example, if you prefer single-payer, but would accept a strong public option, please select the public option.

1. shames to to admit I'd accept a strong public option

but I have no hope for even that amount of change anymore

[invictus]

2. First Choice: Single Payer, Second Choice: Strong Public Option, anythng less is unacceptable. nt

8. Agreed

[DrDan]

9. exactly - very simple

lets start to fix the problem - and lets fix it right.

No more band-aids.

11. My thoughts exactly

[Mass]

3. Mostly any plan where the government determines what will be covered at what price.

Anything other than that will be a failure, because either people will buy cheap insurances they can afford but who do not cover enough (sometimes thinking they are adequately covered), or they will have to pay way too high for a decent insurance.

7. This may be too broad of a critera

Being that 75% of insured people with catastrophic illness go bankrupt. Even being covered at an affordable price by the private bastards isn't enough to prevent death or bankruptcy

[Mass]

12. Which is why the insurance companies should not be the one deciding what goes in an health insurance

I am all for single payer or at least a public option, but the fact is that, as long as the government is not made responsible of what HAS TO be covered in an contract, the insurance will screw people by proposing low cost, no insurance contracts. This has to be regulated.

4. shoot the fucking Trigger, stuff it and bury it next to Roy Rogers

[hedgehog]

5. If public option means what I think it means, it provides a

smooth path to single payer without too many economic bumps along the way.

[Dawgs]

6. How bout, 'Will the Dems fail on reform if they don't pass a bill with a strong public option?'

IMO, any bill without a public option will be a win for Republicans. At the same time, I would consider any bill without a STRONG public option as a failure.

[invictus]

10. I agree. nt

[bigwillq]

13. Single-payer (nt)

[yy4me]

14. Single payer, the only fair way.

We need to cover everyone without the Massachusetts type forced coverage that costs a fortune and is going broke already.

[BlooInBloo]

15. No strong public option (at a minimum) = no reform.

16. The best is Single Payer with top up insurance.

Where the top up insurance pays for the nice amenities and elective cosmetic surgeries and such. The Single Payer just takes COMPREHENSIVE care of you and does it well.
