For those of you who think our government will be able to provide us with better healthcare because they say they will, please watch this video and then read the article. I will then ask, is this what we want for our children and loved ones? With a track record such as this from the article--and they have had YEARS to improve it--why would we expect an imporved service provide by same administrators? We need reasoned debate on this issue, not a bill rushed through congress before reading or extensive debating.

"...two existing government-run health-care systems and their myriad problems: Medicare/Medicaid and the VA. It seems I missed a third that may be worse than either or perhaps both combined. Mary Clare Jalonick of the Associated Press provides an eye-opening report on Indian Health Service, a single-payer system that rations care to Native Americans on reservations across the country - and kills them through neglect and a severe lack of resources.
Without a doubt, the people on the reservations represent some of the poorest of the poor in America. Yet we already have a single-payer system in place to provide health care to Native Americans on these reservations. Do we properly fund it? Do we make sure that enough resources are applied to ensure good health care? Not at all. It is, as the agency itself describes, a system of rationing medical resources, and the end result is a poor population unable to seek out its own care locked into a system that only works when someone is on death's door.
When government owns the nation's health-care system, we can all look forward to the same level of care. After all, as Obama himself insists, a government-run system will "save costs," but he never explains how those costs get saved. We will all go into the rationing-system grinder, just as veterans do with the VA, seniors and disabled do with Medicare, and Native Americans do with IHS."
