Obama Wins and Dems get 60 so....

[Useless]

Since Obama's health plan is closer to Canada's then anyone elses, I doubt it'll pass. Canada's health care is ****ed up, some people have to go into the US to get proper care.

Before you make a comment like that. Whats so ****ed up about it?
If you ask me, if you have to pay about $80,000 to attach a finger that was cut off then that's more ****ed up.

Agreed. I'd rather move to Canada.

Love how my topic never actually started and instead changed to a topic on Canadian Health care....

Okay, Let me reword that. Canadian's health care plan when used for Americans will not work as well as McCain's policies. But since we are focusing on Obama, there are some flaws. First off, Canada's tax rates are 10% higher than America's, something that Obama promised not to do. Also, his plan only covers the basics, so things like drugs you would have to pay for. The current health care is not causing many problems, why try to change it?

Yes McCain's policies. You mean the guy who has no understanding of health care what so ever? The one who admitted to not understanding the economy? Let's give everyone $5000. Some people still won't be able to get health care because they won't be accepted because of conditions they have. Some people still won't be able to afford it if he gets elected. People will still be getting screwed over by the Health Care companies that care about nothing but money. It would even cost less money for the government to run it Obama's way.

The goverment already pays about $35 per head to healthcare companies.
France, on the otherhand, pays about $2 per head.

We already pay more than enough money. There may be a higher cost during the switch, but once the system is fully implemented, it can cost less than it's currently costing us.
So, no raise in taxes needed. In fact, we could get a tax break!




As for the OP, I think yes. It will be hard, but if the dems win as you described, it might be possible.
Though the push from the insurance companies will be a big one, and that will be where the biggest challenge lies.

Most likely.

But imagine everything else that might go through.
