The difference here is that CJ's pie chart sites a source. Where as you posted something which has not been cited. Therefore, CJ's pie chart carries more weight in this debate. I am not saying you made your chart up. I am just saying we don't know where your info came from. I also forgot that libs think that profit is a terrible thing. No one should make profit, spread the wealth. The real reason why our insurance is so high is thanks to lawyers and malpractice insurance.Here's a different poll, probably more like the truth. One can find polls to fit ones own opinion, all one has to do is look. I found this in 10 seconds.
Think what 300 billion would do to treat those without health care, that is the amount the insurance companies keep for profit, the amount that does nothing to promote health care.
Why, just like CJ, I got my pie chart right off the internet. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112818960 You like me now? The real reason our insurance is so high has little to do with malpractice, less than 2% in fact.( Malpractice costs amounted to an estimated $24 billion in 2002, but that figure represents less than 2 percent of overall health care spending. ...)http://www.cbo.gov/doc.cfm?index=4968&type=0The difference here is that CJ's pie chart sites a source.

Ask him how his birther lawsuits are goingI already put Cracker in the category as having zero creditability.. Too many times his arguments are based on lies or misinformation...He really should see about going to work for fox...
Amen brother! Polls are all b.s. as are most policticians and the political process itself.the entire system is to blame for the high costs of health care in this country. the only way to change the trend of higher and higher costs is to change the system...
polls mean nothing if not properly executed. my line of work relies mainly on statistics and i know how numbers can be manipulated. a former professor and good friend of mine calls it "seeing what you want to see in the numbers, and proving it true, no matter what the reality is, or what the data says".... that is why conservatives and liberals alike can come up with a poll that is supposedly representative of the population, asking the very same questions, and come up with completely different conclusions...
I see polls and they mean nothing. unless i work intimately in executing it.
The point being (which sailed straight over ur head) the only industry which is NOT regulated is the Legal industry.regulate an industry, so regulate lawyers, yeah, that makes total sense....
you are right, the gov't is to blame for the high costs of health care, because the government created the industry as it exists today....
