Elizabeth Edwards talks Health Care on Jon Stewart
Created and posted for your consideration by Matthew Glenn at 6:50 PMThe other night Elizabeth Edwards was on Jon Stewart and they started talking about health care in the USA. What she said made me so angry, I had to post this for you to see. The comment is about 3 minutes into the segment of the show when she begins to talk about United Health Care and the President of United Health's salary. According to Elizabeth Edwards 1 in every 700 dollars spent on health care in the USA, wen to pay this asshole's salary. 
The crowd in Stewart's audience had the same reaction I did.

But, I kinda like her idea of having a government healthcare option as opposed to completely universal healthcare.
I then decided I better do some fact checking before I sent it on to my conservative anti-gov father. I found alot of people trying to fact check it, and no one being able to come up with $1 in every $700.
I, like most Americans, like choice. But what if choice costs 30% more? Single Payer doesn't mean doctors work for the government -- just like your doctor doesn't work for Blue Shield right now. The efficiencies gained by one paper/electronic system would drop the costs by 30%.
Single Payer would not eliminate 3rd party insurance. It would mean everyone's primary would be a Gov insurance agency. Just like people buy additional AFLAC today.
It supprises me that REAL Medical Professionals what this:
