This means that if we don't get a single-payer public option in, taxes will rise. A single-payer system wouldn't raise taxes a bit, as it's for by premiums.

You don't understand. When everyone starts going to medicaid, the companies lose business. Companies don't like losing business. Therefore, they lower their prices to make them affordable and compete with medicaid. It's how the economy works.

You're assuming that they would, when they won't. If they cared about that, premiums wouldn't be so high. Plus, the system would just fail again.

Prices stay in control due to competition. Grim your asuming that prices won't fall after they rise.

I really doubt anything bad will happen to the companies since Obama works for them.

How did the stimulus cause a raise in oil prices? Eco-freaks? Caring about the environment is bad? I for one love to breath air.

Arthur, Obama is actually center-right. He's not a liberal.

The Stimulus didnt help the Oil companies because they took money from what they could have used for leases in drilling and instead made a useless, road or park.
