FL, everything you just posted is either a republican talking point that has no basis in fact, or an outright lie.
Watered down standards? Hello? The uninsured don't get to see the inside of a hospital room, hospital food, tv, or surgery at all here.
Most of whom can afford it but choose not to? That is a ridiculous soundbite that was pulled out of thin air.
Astroturf, tinfoil? LOL. Do you really believe that the same industries that spent hundreds of millions to defeat Clinton's healthcare plan aren't going to spend as much or more to oppose this one by any means necessary?

Your arguments and statements make Michael Moore look like Walter Cronkite by comparision... speaking of MM and comparisions, asheep, if you want to see a look into the differences of our healthcare system compared to healthcare in the UK, Canada, France, and Cuba, go have a watch at freedocumentaries.org of the documentary, "Sicko".

While there is some cherry-picking of interviews (most notably showing some Canadian hospital ER patients who only waited 30-45mins for treatment as opposed to not showing others who may have waited 4-6hrs for treatment), overall it gives a very spot-on look at the way treatment is handled between the USA and NHS and what those who have experienced both have to say.

On a side note, my mother has experienced healthcare in the US throughout her life both uninsured and with company provided insurance, and she has spent the last 16yrs over in the UK under NHS.
She visits me here at least 2-3 times a year and she follows our news/politics very closely.
She makes no bones about it, according to her experiences the healthcare system in the UK is miles above and beyond the system in the US, and everything we are being told by the insurance industry, the drug industry, and the opposition party that they own is nothing but distortion and lies to keep the status quo and not cut into corporate profits, period.
She has had multiple surgeries and treatments under the NHS and the longest she had to wait for a non-life threatening surgery (cornea transplant) was a month because there were others ahead of her who were more in need or going blind.
