ANALYSIS: Republican field shies away from history on insurance mandate | iWatch News

ANALYSIS: Republican field shies away from history on insurance mandate | iWatch News:
Single Payer is still the best bet but still not passable. This article shows how flip flopping has become the norm. I certainly would prefer a model that provided that all citizens were guaranteed health care and not one that 'mandated' that you buy an insurance policy. I am going through trying to figure out which Medicare Supplement to get and the annual review of Part D coverage. No wonder most people don't switch even if they can save money. It is a nightmare. And then you get all that paperwork every time you go to the doctor. All that crap is intended for one purpose -- to provide profit for insurance companies. We really need to get them out of our health care and out from between us and our doctors.
