I think we agree here. We agree that there is much that needs to be addressed in our healthcare system but also that socialized medicine is not the answer.
Btw, we pay a fortune for health insurance, too. It depends on the plan your employer offers. Some companies cover insurance. Others don’t. We have a PPO, and the employer doesn’t cover the cost. HMO’s are cheaper, but what a nightmare they are. When I think of socialized medicine, I think of HMO’s.
Yes, in a sense we already HAVE socialized medicine, it’s just not universal or fully controlled by liberals. YET.
I truly fear for the future.
We’re doing our very best with our kids now in preventative medicine!
I once called my congresswoman over that debacle with my employer defrauding us...and her EXACT words were: “Oh honey I’m in bed with the insurance companies, I can’t help you”.
I appreciated her honesty, but I’ll never forget that.
