No there arent other ways, at least not to this point or else they wouldve been implmented. Ideas without action is $hit. Until there is a plan than fixes the problem its just polical jockeying on both sides----who really dont give a crap about it anyway IMO-----then its just what you are doing and saying no to everything instead of seeing any practical benefit. Notice I did not say no tort reform, state lines, ect. were bad ideas. I did not shoot down your ideas and I could indeed entertain them, but not as a total fix all and not justy with input from one side of political idealogy. The difficulty is that withpeople who vote for canditates only by the R or D next to their names we will never get this solution because neither side wants to look at other ideas, masquerade it as "indivdual rights" if you want to, thats just a catch phrase to lump ideas you feel are too far reaching----for instance, any you dont agree with.
The transcripts are out and worth reading, if you have a few hours. The justices, although each biased in their own ways, all posed relevant questions and comments. The libs were trying their best to find reasons for a nay vote, but even Sotamayor and Kennedy were having a hard time seeing the SG's argument. This may go 6-3. And from my reading, as the mandate goes, so does the entire bill.
I understand we can't fathom living without it, but the government does not force you to own an automobile. The comparison really isn't valid. Seems like we could come up with a way to offer service to those who can't afford it in fewer than 1 or 2 thousand pages.

If you walk into an emergency room, and need medical treatment, you cannot be refused that treatment. Those who do not have insurance are therefore requiring everyone else to pay for their irresponsibility. That irresponsibility is one of the primary drivers of ever increasing cost of health care and health insurance. I used to think that conservatives were all about personal responsibility, but I'm beginning to understand that they are really all about subsidizing selfishness and greed, usually advertised under the banner of "liberty".
