Ike-agree but let us put things into perspective. The population of Switzerland is approximately 8.3 million people. The population of New York city is 8.4 million people.
A plan to cover 8 million people is easily designed and administered. Conversely, when we are looking at covering over 300 million people the plan needs much more thought than was given the ACA. Also, the Swiss would have a higher patient participation rate than we here in the USA because we have so many low/no income people and many seniors who exist on Social Security alone. The democrats rushed into this thing just so that Obama could get something passed. Nobody read the entire plan but they passed it anyways. Good idea or not so good ?? I am all for people getting health care however there is only so much money to go around and when about 50% of our people depend on the government for their livelihood or assistance it puts a load on those who are working and paying the taxes. There does not appear to be an easy solution and we need a plan that is fair and equitable and benefits everyone in lieu of only those who are subsidized or on medicaid. Good Luck America !!!

Again you liberals miss the point. Who said anything about social security. Dude, that started in 1935 after the depression when half the people over 60 lost their life's savings. 1 in 6 people were on charity assistance. Social security was started and later disability insurarance to insure older Americans would never have to endure such hardships. Fast track 80 years today. Seniors retiring today no longer have assurance they will receive social security for their lifetime. Why? According to social security, 2 years ago they stated the program is in the red. That means more is paid out today than is being paid in. Let me explain this: the money hard working Americans and their employers paid into the last 40 plus years is not enough to cover even todays expenses much less the future. What does this mean? Your government turned this into a ponzi scheme by borrowing the reserves out of the fund to pay for your socialist agenda (freebies). They called it investing in our economy (actually freebies). We all know today every dollar our governement invest has a return of 1 to 2 percent. Reality-waste of money. We would have been better off investing in our US businesses (helping creating jobs)for a reasonable interest rate and return of principal. As bad as Japan's debt to GDP (over 200 %) they are smart enough to leave the money in their social security alone. Let me explain this: they did not borrow from their SS fund to spend on nebulous social programs. Their money is acutually there. Have you ever heard Obama lecture you need to invest in a US government IRA retirement account. Get ready its coming. Once the US looseses the World Reserve Currency and other nations realize the US can't pay its bills without borrowing and stop buying treasuries, the only place else is your 401k money. It will sound like this: invest in a govt ira for a safe secure return (1-2 percent) government backed. Good luck with that. If you Libtards allow that to happen and do not hold your elected officials responsible for passing a viable budget to pay for all this largesse, then there's no hope for you and have only youself to blame- not us illiterate conservatives. Your smoking fairy dust if you think they can print money forever with no serious consequences.
