Unfortunately everyone forgets to look at the incentives. Cenk, you always look at the incentives (such as how the proposed bill would drive up prices).

 Well, think about the fact that if you have a public/private system, then the private sector will simply be cheaper than the public sector, while it rejects all the unhealthy people. This dilutes the public pool and leads to increasing costs. Eventually the public system becomes cost-ineffective and has to raise rates, then the private sector raises rates but still keeps it slightly lower than the public healthcare, and restricted to the healthy.. and so on. Eventually the entire system fails and the private systems bleed everyone to death.

 The system is flawed. You can't do anything other than a single payer system.  KILL THE BILL.

 I'm a Canadian btw, and all the people who complain about a lack of doctors in Canada, think about why.. The unethical doctors go to the US on TN visas because they can make more money while not servicing as many patients.

 We have to understand this is all or none, you can have as perfect a system as you want, but as long as there is one loop hole, there is one bad apple, and that will always ruin the entire system/batch of apples.
