what specifically was I wrong about regarding the end result.

1-You were completely wrong because you refused to recognize that the present healthcare system was structured to benefit only the health insurance companies of which you probably have serious interest in.

2-You refused to ask yourself why healthcare insurance premium is going up like a patient with high temperature who is suffering from cronic H1N1.

3-You did not ask yourself why over 50 million Americans are without health insurance.
Did you ask yourself why most American are filing for bancruptcy from health related issues becuase your present insurance company dropped them due to pre-existing conditions or for reasons of those finelines that were not explained to them from the get go.

4-Because you were adamant to the fact that America is the only supper power with the worst Healthcare structure where thousands if not millions die every year because they could not afford health insurance and where they can, the best of it was not adequate enough to be considered complete health insurance policy.

If you went to school at all you will understant that a health insurance with public option will allow for market competition and thereby drive prices of insurance down, Americans will save more from high insurance premium, more will be covered and bancruptcy will be out of the equation. Small businesses will save more from the high cost of insurance and that will mean such savings will be reinvested in alternative investment opportunities that will generate grouth and employment
It will actually be a good opportunity cost to let go the present health policy dispensation in other to allow a health policy that will benefit the American people.
