I hope your assessment is correct. As you know Americans tend to listen quite a bit to soundbites which is the reason we have such bad policies in many arenas. On a whim I asked myself if I were the Right Wing, what would my ad sound like to support healthcare reform and the two ads below with is what I came up with. The quality is not good but it was just a stab of what it may sound like.

Until we get honest with wealth distribution in this country we will continue to have not only healthcare problems but many others to come.

Unless we marginally increase taxes or some other revenue base today to support healthcare reform with a public option
1) Jobs will continue to further migrate overseas since the current burden on employers make them uncompetitive and you will eventually lose your job.
2) You will be ultimately left without insurance since companies cannot sustain a continued 7%+ increase in insurance yearly.
3) Pandemics will be prevalent as more and more are left without insurance and not seeking medical treatment early enough thus emulating many third world countries.
4) More to come but your point is well take.

The size of Canada's population has nothing to do with the outcome. The numbers scale quite well. Right wingers have said that and it drives me crazy. It is like these guys believe we never took simple arithmetic let alone algebra. Healthcare cost like everything else scales.

We are in agreement. My statement is consistent in that Obama gave up on forcing single payer. I think there are staunch Conservative Republicans that will continue pay more for plans just not to be covered by a government plan. Conservatives are fanatic in voting against their own economic interest for their ideology.

Single payer is mathematically unbeatable. The only reason we have private insurance is to tranfer wealth to a few shareholders etc. I am a capitalist but for issues like healthcare payments there is no need to give away 30% of our premiums for paying for healthcare when they provide no intrinsic value. The only reason to have profits in any part of healthcare is to ensure innovation. That said it takes no innovation to pay a bill.

You are absolutely correct. But politically the politicians simply want to keep PI in business. That said if the American public really new the facts we would have single payer yesterday.
