First we have to define why any insurance system works. It is because many people pay into it. When you need it (hopefully not at the same time) you draw your benefits.
In a health system some may never need more than their yearly physical, etc.

Republicans forget this definition of insurance. They say it will be too expensive. Yes that is true since they only include the poor, cheap labor, immigrants, etc. (including women and children of illegals). They mostly don't make enough to pay into it or not at all.
Repubs want to fund insurance company profits and cover cheap labor costs for low wage workers. Corporations win big time.
Here's the bottom line of a government run system. Everyone has to be in on the system or it will be too expensive.
Kucinich has told them that a pay into government system by all would be cheaper. Yet the media has those talking heads...and even President Obama on warning of this and that...saying it won't work for all. Lies once again by our own leaders.
Both party constituents want government health systems without insurance companies. Boy is that scary for the politicans since they get money from them.
Europe has health care for all yet aren't bankrupted by it. Why? Most systems are controlled and everyone who qualifies pay into it. We have the most expensive and poor health system of any developed country. It is more costly than theirs right now (and going up faster than the cost of living).
Paying a tax to health insurance companies is just outrageous when we consider we are the most costly and poor health system in the world already. This won't make it cheaper.
It is too expensive. Care is going down hill quickly.
Too many doctors give patients drugs which are bad for them and don't follow up on warnings, etc. There are drug deaths and seniors are losing their homes.
Most of Congress have good health insurance so they aren't worried. It's our money which protects them. They don't have family in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. either. That's another subject like health care that is just unfair to be discussed at another time. The elite few live well on our money and labor. It's an oligarcy who can't seem to run the country.
