The Government decades ago got into the healthcare business when they created Medicare and Medicaid.  Has it worked?  Does it serve the People as intended?  The answer to both questions is no.

 Medicare and Medicaid is rife with fraud, mismanagement and abuse.  That is a fact.  So now the government wants to expand that incompetence and expand their control of health care to all Americans.  Why not fix that which is broken and has been broken for years before attempting to reward failure with more failure.

 The President is wrong.  A public option will create bigger and more inefficient government, waste, abuse and fraud.  If you like going to the Department of Motor Vehicles, then you are going to love the public health care option.  Americans will wait in large caverness waiting rooms to see doctors they don’t know and then be told they can’t be treated because of their age, wait time for treatment, cost, etc.  Under Obama Socialized Health Care everyone will be “covered” but no one will be properly treated.
