You’re not even close.
Every point you made is about paying the cost of healthcare.
Actually it’s “healthcare” in quotes, because it only appears to be healthcare.
“Healthcare” itself is the problem. The problem is, it isn’t healthcare. Not even close.
The “healthcare” system doesn’t care about health. It cares about making money. Maybe not every individual practitioner. I’m sure there is a solitary practitioner here and there who really does care about people’s health. I’m talking about the system as a whole. Everything from pre-med forward is about making money. None of it is about health.
Even those rare practitioners who do care about people’s health are likely to be ineffective because they have had the mainstream medical training that is centered around making money.
It’s not even about illness. Even after a hundred years or so in it’s present form, “healthcare”, or medicine, the correct term, is nowhere closer to understanding illness and it’s causes.
The whole system is about identifying and treating symptoms. It always has been that way, and is likely to continue that way for the foreseeable future.
Every name they coin is for a set of symptoms. Every treatment they come up with is to chase a set of symptoms. Every drug they come up with is to chase a set of symptoms.
Why? Because that’s where the money is. The real money. The big money. That’s why “healthcare” is so expensive.
It’s a beautiful system for making money. One of the best I’ve ever seen.
Treatments and drugs used to chase one set of symptoms merely change the nature of those symptoms.
That starts the whole process over again. Other treatments and drugs to chase the new set of symptoms, which merely changes the nature of those symptoms.
That starts the whole process over again. Other treatments and drugs to chase the new set of symptoms, which merely changes the nature of those symptoms.

You get the point.
That’s why “healthcare” doesn’t do what the name implies. “Healthcare” is a failure at illness. Total failure. Absolute failure. “Healthcare” is a failure at health. Total failure. Absolute failure.
Because it’s not about illness. Not even close. And it’s certainly not about health. Not even close.
It’s all about identifying, labeling, and treating symptoms. That’s where the money is.
The same thing is going on in this economic and financial crisis. The very same thing. Paulson, Bernanke, Bush, and now Obama, are merely chasing symptoms while understanding little or nothing about the illness and it’s true causes.
They’re doing the identical same thing medical people do. Chase one set of symptoms with boatloads of money, which merely changes the nature of those symptoms.
The process starts all over again. Chase the new set of symptoms with more boatloads of money, which merely changes the nature of those symptoms.
The process starts all over again. Chase the new set of symptoms with more boatloads of money, which merely changes the nature of those symptoms.
You get the point.
Again, that’s why it’s so expensive. That’s why they’ve spent trillions of dollars and haven’t made any measurable improvement in the “patient’s” health.
In fact, the “patient” is getting worse.

That’s because ‘paying the cost of healthcare’ is exactly what every policy intended to make healthcare better has had it’s most disastrous effect: the cost. Every one of these government mandates have inadvertently affected the cost.

That’s right it doesn’t. You see, it’s a thing. It’s not a person. Things don’t have a capability to care.

That’s better than the socialist alternative.
With big government healthcare, it’s in the doctor’s best interest to not completely heal you because s/he relies on that government check.
With a competitive system, if doctor A loses too many patients, they lose their practice. It’s in their best interests to heal you, regardless if they actually care or not. Caring isn’t in the equasion either way. But at least with a competitive system, the doctor is under the financial gun to get it right.
Your whole post is devoted to “caring”, who “cares” the most.
You’ve missed the point about socialist medicine. It isn’t about fixing people’s problems. It isn’t about getting people healthy. It’s about dependence, and about power.
If you are dependent upon the state, then they will always have their power.
For how many decades now have you seen politicians play the game of “don’t vote for him, he will take away your medicare/social security”?
