Primary their a$$es out. If the American people want health care as a right, they can ask for a constitutional amendment.
“Primary their a$$es out. If the American people want health care as a right, they can ask for a constitutional amendment.”
A most simple statement that is so correct. It really cuts to the heart of the problem. It is harsh, but it is correct.
We have all rights that are not defined in the Constitution to be Federal. These rights are up to the individual states as applied by their state governments and do not have one damn thing to do with the federal government.
Personally I would like to see a system where people could opt in for catastrophic health care coverage. This would really not be that expensive compared to the total costs of health care. Individuals should be responsible for the day to day health care costs. This would then cause market forces to drive down the costs of health care on a day to day basis.
If they do not opt in for this coverage they lose. This seems unkind, but it is not. One must take some responsibility for their health. I do and I pay a lot for my health coverage. I would much rather pay for my normal expenses from my pocket and have insurance pay for catastrophic illness. I could dump my health plan and save a lot of money.
