Flu shot?

It makes no sense we can get it free faster then trying to pay for it.

Reason to support public option?

Yea right. Our doctors who have the people who actually work and pay for the services cannot get enough of the shots from the ones who hand it out THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT. While the people who don't pay into the system and use the FREE Health services get a larger supply. Sounds backwards to me.

It is you who has it backwards. Seems to me if the government (the people) pays for the production of the vaccine there is no reason to let private practice doctors get it first and have them charge the public for it again. They are more than welcome to do business with the pharmaceutical companies that produce them to get some.

Well last time I checked I pay taxes and I'm sure that the others that go to my doctor pay taxes also. You don't think the people giving the FREE shot don't get paid? I'm sure some donate time and do it free but I'm guessing most get paid. My doctor is no different and should charge the $29.00 to administer the shot and should get equal treatment when they are passing it out.
