Basically what the democrats are doing is pretending to let you keep your private insurance when actually their goal is to push the insurance companies out of business and get you on the single payer government plan as Obama himself even said is the goal here.
Here is a video of Obama talking about it:

They are trying to socialize our medical system and take it over. People try to say that it is not socialism, but socialism is the socialization of responsibilities and risk across the population. That is exactly what they are doing. They want to take over health care for no other reason except power.
Cancer Survival by Country
Coleman and colleagues drew on data from nearly 2 million cancer patients, ages 15 to 99, whose medical information was entered into 101 population-based cancer registries in 31 countries. The patients had been diagnosed with one of four cancers: b****t, colon, r****m, or prostate cancers during the years 1990-1994. They were followed up to 1999, with the researchers comparing five-year survival rates.
The highest survival rates were found in the U.S. for b****t and prostate cancer
The study showed the US had the highest five-year survival rates for b****t cancer at 83.9?nd prostate cancer at 91.9?
The UK had 69.7?urvival for b****t cancer, just above 40?or colon and r****l cancer for both men and women and 51.1?or prostate cancer.
The U.S. has a five-year survival rate in all the cancers studied of 91.9 per cent, while Europe's is much lower at 57.1 per cent. However, survival rates within the U.S. can vary.
Older people are refused organ transplants and kidney dialysis in socialized countries.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7510121.stm Socialized medicine is killing people. People that are covered now and would get excellent care, will be killed.
You may be deemed to old for health care and the government may choose to put you down.
Basically socialized medicine kills about 40?f all people that get cancer over our medical system.
That is just the ones they report. i wonder f they even report the ones that they simply refuse to even treat because of age or costs.
basically like any other time that the government gets involved it punishes those that are responsible for those that are irresponsible.
If you look around the world at their socialized system you would be loosing health care. It would take you longer to see specialists, if you were to be stricken by cancer the government would decide weather or not you would be eligable for treatments.
Right now, anyone in this country can have top notch health care. It simply has to be their priority. I got a job at 18 that provided health insurance. I was a teller at a bank. It was far from my ideal job at that time, but I needed health insurance and I made it a priority.
Basically the government is taking health care from those that have it as a priority andgiving it to those that do not.
There will not be more doctors, in fact the government will cap their pay and highly regulate them meaning there will be less doctors. There will not be more hospitals. Basically the government will not create any health care, it will simply distribute it.
Also, they will take the profit motive from all companies related to the health care industry and that is where the only cost savings will come from. This may sound good, but it really means no new innovation because they will nto be compensated for R&D and the risk of putting all that money on the line for research if they do not make anything off of it. In countries where socialized insurance exists, there is no new innovation.
We can not afford it. Basically the democrats claim that there are 47 Million people without health insurance. The Government plan costs way to much and it will still leave 20 Million uninsured. We will not only destroy health care for the middle class, but we are going to burry our children and grandchildren in debt all so able bodied and minded people simply do not have to take responsibility for themselves.
Finally, The government health care plan will destroy private insurance plans. In this video it shows Obama talking about it as well as other democrats. They are fully aware that it will drown out private insurance.
