Is anyone considering making insurance companies Non-Profit and regulating charges for provided healthcare services across the board with consideration to regional cost-of-living indexes?

Will someone please as the Republican members of congress one simple question. Why didnt they design healthcare the way the wanted when the had control of congress starting in 1995 till 2007? I hear every member of the republican party doing this crying that we know there is a problem with healthcare but this isnt the way to do it, then why didnt they do it their way when the had the chance. I think the answer is that they are really and it's not just a saying the party of "no ".

This is a question related to the health insurance government option issue.
Don't members of congress get their health insurance from the U .S. government? Why are so many of them against a benefiet administered by governmet which they seem to be satisfied with.
Couldn't ordinary Americians have health insurance administerd by the same government entity that makes it work for congress?
Thanks

Instead of a 2000 page bill for the ordinary citizen Congress should just expand their coverage to include all the citizens – why should we have to pay for lesser insurance for us while we are paying for better insurance for them? For really good insurance like that I think we would all sign up.

The majority of Americans do not want the government to control more of their life and this includes their medical care. If you like the idea of socialized medicine then you should support the Obama heathcare plan.

The true healthcare solution is to allow workers to retire with benefits at age 62. The cost would be less than kick starting the economy for younger workers entering the workforce and allowing mandates to private industry to provide health insurance.

I agree that one solution would be opening up the Federal employees' insurance program to anyone. One of the better policies in CA costs the Federal government $585 per month. That same policy costs a private employer as much as $890 per month, and over $1,200 to an individual depending on age.

I made a honest attempt at reading and understanding what was written in the almost 2,000 page health care bill on your site. I must say, I could not make any sense of it, or understand what it is going to do for anyone. How do our elected officials know what they are voting on? This is all smoking mirrors, we are in big trouble if this passes.

My question is , who is going to pay for this 1 trillion dollars, or the last 1 trillion dollars, or the trillion dollars that the Bush administration stuck us with. Or the next silver bullet that congress needs a trillion ,for.
you dont get something for nothing in this world. Someone always has to pay.

Regardless of which party you favor just ask yourself this one question and try to come up with an answer. Why would Congress exempt themselves from the bill they are going to vote on. It seems pretty obvious.
