The return of harry and louise

Harry & Louise are back, but this time they are for healthcare. Maybe you didn’t get to see the commercials in the 90’s. You see back then they spoke out against healthcare.
Oh what could the reason be for this change of heart, please tell us about this epiphany you had so we can all be enlightened. Why is it you are working against doctors, what about tort reform to get rid of the overwhelming issue of frivolous law suits. Or address the waste and abuse that is already in the medical system. Unlike Harry and Louise, I am still against the principle of universal healthcare (regardless of house you name it). While in the military I saw people claiming physical and mental ailments when they had none, this was done to get them out of work. On the civilian side I know of people who are collecting money from the government because of disabilities. Some do hard work but are only allowed to earn so much so they work part time. Others get paid off the books so they can get a pay check and government check, others do nothing and just get the government check. Imagine what an already overwhelmed medical system will do, someone comes in with a complaint there is a good chance that the doctor will simply give the person what they want so they can go onto the next patient. That person will then take the doctors papers to claim disability and get on the government dole.
This is the truth of government healthcare, fraud at every level. Some medical people will bill for services and medications they didn’t provide. There will be administrators who will spend money on expensive office equipment and travel on taxpayers dollars. This is not what every doctor does but this does happen all the time and will only get worse the more government gets involved. So what was it exactly that changed the mind of Harry and Louise?
