Run health insurance companies out of business
If we really want healthcare reform health insurance needs to go extinct.They have more power and money than we do and the only way for us to be heard is to stick together and stop giving them money.I know this will never happen because we will never stick together for anything.

1. and
if nobody had insurance the hospitals would go bankrupt waiting for the government to implement something. It's also not about sticking together it's about the fact that nobody is willing to turn themselves and their families into martyrs.

3. I'm thinking the President has a plan.
He'll allow people to have a choice: go with private insurers or go with the government plan. I'm sure that given the choice, most companies will drop providing their employees with private insurance, since it's so expensive. Most people will choose the government plan, since it's going to be more affordable. Private insurance will slooooowly go out of business. The problem will solve itself.

4. Yeah, but I am afraid the sold-out critters will then just bail them out
with our (not born yet) grand-grandchildren's taxes.

It's not that they already did that for the crooks they work for...
