First off, I'm an Obama supporter and i want to say that his healthcare plan' flat out sucks! Hillary's plan flat out sucks! Edwards plan flat out sucks!

Americans need to self insure with a not-for-profit single payer universal heath insurance plan.

It's the only way that makes sense. Everything else is an over price band-aide that doesn't do what self insuring as a country would do.

So how come the Dems say don't privatize social security, but yes, we need a a privatized health security system?

It's flat out stupid, it's hypocritical, and it just doesn't cut it.

1. Agree 100%
The people defending mandating private insurance while calling it universal healthcare are engaging in the kind of doublespeak that would make Orwell himself proud.
