I get that it's a cartoon, but . . . you actually think government run health care will be simpler and less bureaucratic ?

LMAO.

You overlook the massive cost savings, which is precisely the point of the public option.

The nanny-staters crack me up. Especially their leader Barry, what a joke.

Right, Medicare and Medicaid are such a sparkling success! No fraud or potential burdens to be had on taxpayers there?

Right, the massive cost savings by limiting care. I get it; I don't want it.

Also the massive cost savings that will COST $1-2T for the first 10 years.

The limiting care argument is a bit of a misnomer. If there's an equally effective but less expensive treatment then that's not limiting care.

And you'll see an overall reduction in health care spending and the cost to you and me. That's the point. It's more of a shift in health care spending as opposed to an increase, though of course it's an increase in government spending. But again, that's to get the overall cost down.

No, the new TRILLIONS are for the currently uninsured, none of that is for the currently insured. They're paid for either 1) as they are now or 2) by more government money if they go with the public option.
