Democratic House Passes Healthcare

WTF... Our democratic House of Representatives decided in their infinite wisdom on Saturday that government provided healthcare is something that should be included in this trillion dollar spending spree of Comrade Obama's!

COME ON, the government runs so many things so well (e.g. postal service, social security, medicare, etc)

Healthcare continues to be a hot button topic for all but no one seems to have a silver bullet to take care of all of the ills that plague the United States healthcare environment.

I see it simply as this... personal responsibility.

We have become accustomed to having our health insurance providers pay for our visits to the 'doctor' (which includes all healthcare providers). If we as Americans truly believe in a capitalist system and not communism/socialism, we should eagerly embrace a healthcare system that WE pay for day in and day out. When we have to pay for something, we can make huge changes/advances.

I suppose we could have the option to insure ourselves and our families for catastrophic situations (e.g. claims in excess of $10,000, $15,000, etc) almost like life insurance or car insurance which is adjusted annually for inflation.

The "market" will then work itself out.
