no, because you argue that charitable donations solve the dilemma of choosing between some form of healthcare welfare and the rationing of healthcare.
The fact is, I think you support death panels (or something like it) but you only support them for poor people apparently and you curtain your support for this position with a false argument.
A more reasonable argument would be to mandate that everyone receiving taxpayer funded healthcare benefits must maintain a healthcare savings account which must be used for routine healthcare services and which must maintain a minimum balance at all times. This would eliminate much of the fraud, waste and abuse that is bankrupting the system.
mandatory fines for documented abuse of the emergency room/response system would also help.
rewriting HIPAA to protect doctors and nurses that report drug seekers and narcotics overdoses to the police would help.
Rewriting the medicaid reimbursement rules so that system abusers would not be allowed to impact reimbursement rates would also be nice.
Rewriting EMTALA so that non-emergencies wouldn't impact reimbursement rates would also be helpful.
And of course, drug testing should be mandatory for anyone who receives taxpayer funded welfare.
And those effing EBT cards need to be replaced with food stamps again so the tax payers can see the fraud, waste, and abuse that is going on in the super market checkout line once again.
These are examples of intellectually honest solutions.
You would be totally wrong about what I think. I think the government should be out of the medical services business completely.
You, like statists, want the government there but want to argue the level of involvement. Argue that with them.
