It's bloated BECAUSE of Government interference and regulation, and more regulation, and even MORE regulation. It's the medical professionals having to jump through hoops to satisfy current bureaucracies that cause the MONEY problems (and that all it really is - health CARE in the US is the BEST in the world). And this atrocity creates even MORE of that same mess. Sorry - no thank you. And please, show me WHERE it is in the Constitution that I have to PAY for someone else's health care COSTS with my taxes?

There is a very large demographic of people that are being overlooked right now, and a public option would benefit them. Eva Mor author of (Making the Golden Years Golden) responded beautifully to a key part of the problem: “The administration of the existing health delivery system is bloated with waste and unnecessary cost. If information was shared by all providers of health services and all insurers by using computerized systems to store all medical records, it would cut costs and reduce errors that would save and improve lives.” http://www.ourblook.com/component/option,com_sectionex/Itemid,200076/id,8/view,category/#catid107 To regulate costs in the medical industry and update the existing Information and communication technologies would certainly cut a large portion of spending, which has featured as primary complaint in this debate all along. I do hope that the fight for health care continues and does not find its way under the carpet as it did back in the 90’s. The rejection of the public option is very sad.
