“I never said that...I said they would get care. If they have advanced stages of cancer, they will be diagnosed, treated there to help, and then sent to get the care they need. “
Treated and sent to get care they need. Where?
I am not saying we do not have the best healthcare in the world, but don’t act like people have the care they need as it is when they have a serious medical condition.
The system is not perfect...insurance companies should be allowed to compete across state lines, tort reform is a real need, etc....but the care is there and not denied by the doctors.
Boards on insurance companies come up with guidelines for the insured and that is understandable because in a free market they can establish their plans as they will...as can others who will take advantage of any lapses and draw market share to themselves if another company does not offer good services.
Having the government do this, particularly as it establsihses itself as the sole provider...which is the goal...will have the opposite effect. The free market will not be involved so government officials will mandate care and guidelines regardless of their need to attract customers and true rationing and lessening of care will occur.
Agaian, the debate is really about whether we allow socialists in government, under the guise of "helping" health care, destroy the free market or not. That's what this is about with the dems and the left.
