This country's problem goes way beyond just healthcare, but the idea of government dictating healthcare is just one more steep hill for the proverbial snowball to roll down.
Medicare is filled with fraud.

Now, we're giving them a bigger piece of the pie? An inefficient government run program is going to all of the sudden be run as a tight ship under ObamaCare? If people would take the time that they do to figure out how to defraud the government, and put that time to actually be productive, we'd be way better off.
More and more Physicians are dropping Medicare because what the government pays on a claim does not cover their expenses. Welcome to Canada. Goodbye Medical students. The Medical profession will not pay, and we'll be stuck with fewer physicians. I'm not even delving into education budgets being cut everywhere, which may lead to poorly trained medical personnel. That's a whole different discussion.
If Obama had just focused on jobs by reversing the outsourcing, more Americans would have jobs, we'd have a bigger tax base and those who are actually willing to work for a living would have health insurance through their employers.
We truly have become an idiocracy today. Thank you politicians and lobbyists, gotta love em.
