"It will be at a lower cost" which really means what healthcare you get will be rationed so don't get old or really sick....
Why get government involved? If we could drive down the cost of the insurance Dr's pay, we could cut healthcare costs... Oh, I forgot all the lawmakers are lawyers how stupid of me.
Interesting information I got from another source:
The biggest argument for healthcare reform is the uninsured. The number reform advocates like to use is 46 million or a little over 15% of the population. The reformers never tell us who these people are or why they are uninsured. Doing so would damage their attempt at wholesale changes. According to the Census Bureau in 2007, 9.7 million or 21.0% are non-citizens. There are 18.3 million or 40% of the uninsured are young adults in the 18 – 34 age range. Many of these people don’t see the necessity of paying a health care premium when they are young and healthy. In 2005, the Kaiser Foundation found out that 6 million of the 8 million uninsured children were eligible for existing Federal health insurance, but were not enrolled. 3.1 million parents of these children were also eligible for Federal programs, but were not enrolled. These groups compose over 70% of the uninsured. If you don’t believe that age should be a determining factor in health insurance cover!age, the Census Bureau breaks down the income range of the uninsured. 17.5 million have incomes of $50,000 or more, which goes against the advocates’ picture of everyone being poor, and thus unable to afford coverage.
