private insurers is extremely costly for the consumer. Spreading the risks across the entire nation, putting patients info on file, and making it non-profit, govt run will save incredible amts of money. We spend more money per person on healthcare than anyone.. and our current model excludes very many people. Bushie has shed 2.5million jobs.. that's many without any insurance now.. and many companies are passing on the entire cost to the employee or cutting it completely, which means many are working without benefits. I'm very sure we are well past 47million without healthcare at this time. AND if you saw Sicko, you'd see that HMO's and PPO's still cost a person a lot out of pocket if they are actually sicker than the standard dr. visit, and then there's the whole other issue where the ins. co. denies covering a Dr's reccommendation because its too costly.
