Everyone is entitled to service in the public system, but those who can afford it are free to pay for the private care which is usually much better and faster.
We would end up with the same two tier system here. The rich would still have their own private doctors and hospitals, while the rest of us middle class and below would end up in a clogged up public system where we wait 6 months for a doctor appointment, see whatever doctor is on duty that day, and are put on a list for hospital services.
Canada had abolished the private system work-around but their Supreme Court eventually overturned that.
Correct. But I suspect that the Dems Socialized Medicine scheme would totally outlaw private insurance, like Canada. Trump was able to get private insurance available again, but only in 3 month increments and only in the states that Allow it. Right now in AZ, there is ‘Marketplace’ insurance (read Obamacare) and ONE insurer that offers private short term, insurance. The Dems have vowed to overturn that.....that is why their taking the House is so dangerous (well, at least ONE reason). I hope not enough squishy Republicans vote for this Bill and Trump can veto it, if the Senate also goes south.
I can guarantee you that we'll end up with government-run health care simply because this idiocy is unsustainable.
I also know there will be almost no political opposition to such a scheme because there's plenty of support for some of the most idiotic provisions of ObamaCare right here on FreeRepublic.
I recommend that we test the single-payer health care system on government employees for five to ten years to see if it works prior to inflicting it on the rest of the country.
Think...under this system, you’d have a 14-month waiting period for prenatal care (30 days for illegal alien mothers to facilitate birthright citizenship), but killing the baby is free, convenient, available every day of the year. If you decide to go the free pro-life charity care center, then you cannot do that either because it’ll be outlawed. The rich (or really the poor) can learn Spanish, go to Mexico, pay for doctors, and get real health care, but their babies, born outside the United States, would lack birthright citizenship. But only after paying 90% of their money to the government in taxes.
Ah, the yearning desire of the American people fulfilled at last. And I’m unfortunately not joking nor even exaggerating. This is what a large majority of millennial young adult voters, fully indoctrinated in atheistic communism in everything but name and mostly (yes, a majority) lacking parents (plural) who don’t abandon their children, want, even in the “red” states.
Older Americans never experienced the trauma and deep poverty of juveniles today. Sure, they can use better technology, and many posses unsurpassed material wealth. But they have no father, increasingly know not of God as Father, and so take government as their father. They know not the power of God, so they worship government as a god. Our colleges and universities and their graduates, who now teach in public schools all across this land, inculcate this barren spirituality into the youngest generation of Americans. Public schools will not teach religion, but they can teach insidiously if never explicitly materialism, sentimentalism, scientism, and various other antithesitic heresies as a veritable new religion that displaces effectively the adoration of the one True God. Our schools fail to inculcate basic logical reasoning into the youngest generation of Americans, primarily because such logic defeats plainly liberalism and all these false philosophies, and worse still for Satan, logic leads people to the Logos, God Incarnate, the Way, the Truth, the Life, Jesus Christ, who formed us in His Image.
Americans, especially young Americans, desperately long for God, whom they know not, and therefore fall into the trap of accepting big government as the false god of their lives, according the bureaucracy and the Democrats who sustain it the adulation that theistic societies reserve for God.
Other than evangelization, bringing people to God, getting these young adults into the Church, changing their materialistic worldview into a theocentric one, I can offer no practical solution.
