Pro-parasite referendum on the ballot in Arizona

Initiative on health care will be on ballot after all
PHOENIX — Arizonans will get to decide in November whether they want to block the state from imposing a universal health-care program, after all. ...
... State House Minority Leader Phil Lopes, D-Tucson, has proposed a universal health-care plan that would pool everything being spent by all parties on health care — including government, business and individuals — to set up a plan under which everyone gets the same basic coverage. Lopes has pegged the cost at close to $35 billion.
That clearly would be forbidden under the terms of the initiative, which would bar the passage of any law, by the Legislature or voters, "that restricts a person's freedom of choice of private health-care systems or private plans of any type."
Readers, how much choice does your present plan offer you? Very little? None? Or are you part of the 48 million with no insurance?
If this passes it will be very difficult to persuade any Arizona Representative or Senator to support HR 676. Anyone in the Mighty Corrente Building from Arizona?

Is It Too Much To Ask Those Democrats In Power...
...
Is it really so hard to modify and extend the CHOICE of subscribing the FEHB Plan to every Adult Citizen. SCHIP to be extended to every child under age 18, and Medicare to be simply LEGIBLE, simple, and thorough for people of age for that Program?
If Citizens really think they can get better on their own, let them go for it. (Of course, BigInsureCo will be sure to gin up that Super Care For The Super-Rich, and try to spoil Reality for us down here).
If real America is smart, they'll notice the price/quality difference, and stay true to Single Payer.
Even Corporate America is realizing that with Single Payer, their payments go way down.
