are we talking about the government or insurance companies? oh, which the government all but forces people to use over here.
either its the insurance companies taking the money, or government officials raiding funds to give themselves raises.
Thats my point. The Gov should provide health care. You have one buyer and no middle man skimming off the top.
the government IS the middle man.
get the government out of my healthcare. period.
At the moment, yes. If the Gov employed the Dr and owned the hospitals and there was no need to worrie about insurance if you are at a high risk of cancer.
okay, and who in the government decides how much a doctor is worth?
You can choose to have private health care here. But if that fails you you have the NHS to fall back on. Or if it's somehting small and you don't want to increase you insuance you can was the NHS.
private health care is always better
first the implement polices that make hospitals nothing but money sinks without charging crazy prices, then they try and force me to pay insurance companies, the solution to their own problem, then you want to give these guys the direct power to waste my money so i can't help anyone else?
competition makes things more competitive and yes, people make money, its a fact of life
the US within "crap health care system" does most of the worlds r&d
so all these socialist healthcare systems are riding on our coat tails
sure its got its problems and I do content that I dont' think anyone should go into poverty if they get sick
but it sure beats the competition, regardless of what people may think
i have more power to shape the system when i have money. much more than i have power to tell dick-wads who know nothing of healthcare who have the power to decide what does and doesn't make sense.
yup
and I can always find another doctor
i have enough of a problem at my work. When leaders doesn't listen to the boots on the ground, it always ends up poorly for the boots on the ground. and politicians NEVER listen.
and why would they? i have not CHOICE but to pay their salary.
or they come in with guns
oh and I dnt' have to pay taxes to cover medicine I wouldn't use because I'd go with private anyway
look at how fast Battlefront 2 got fucked.
we should have that power over our politicians
and we don't
You can have private health care if you want. but for people that have the choice to have the care they might need if everyone put in some cash so that no one has to go with out.
and who pays for these people?
Everyone.
so I have to pay for everyone else and my own care on top of that?
that's called socialism
get your socialism out of my shit
really? so those people too poor to afford private are partly that poor because the government took that money from them?
also
if everyone pays for everyone then you are only pay for yourself
OR, people with more money are paying for the people with less money.
people are better at making healthcare choices about themselves then some goverment system plus any cogs in the system (i.e. doctors that jsut dont care because they hate the system just as much)
everyone is selfish
capitalism thrives on that
