    when someone goes to the doctor, they give them their #, see the doctor, doctor submits request for payment, receives payment...

    Medicare is projected to run out of money in less than 10 years. It is financially insolvent. Not a good example for the pro-universal health care folks.

    As for choices ... I'll give you one example ... As it stands now, I have the choice NOT to enroll in a medical program if I don't want to. Under the Obama plan, I'm forced to enroll in one, basically at gunpoint. They want to fine people for not having medical insurance, kind of like they fine drivers who don't have car insurance.

    Hey! Just curious slightofjeff...where did you see that you would have to enroll or be fined? Are you an employer? The only thing I can find with regard to a tax/fine being imposed it for employers who self-insure and if they are not meeting certain standards of care/insurance. I just finished reading the whole damn 1017 pages this weekend, and I didn't see that for anyone other than employers who self-insure. I am not sure if I am for it or against it yet, so I am not taking sides.

    I realize this is a link from Fox News ... but it is an Associated Press article, so you can probably trust it ;)

    ok...fine...then lets do away with this program...how about that...? let's go ahead and get rid of that costly program...all those folks can fend for the themselves on the wonderful free market...

    and btw, "projected" does not equal fact...

    seriously, let's do away with that socialist Medicare program...are you ok with that...?
