Until the entire concept of “third party payer” is destroyed, costs will continue to climb.
Oh, yes, under Sanders-Marxism, the health care will be free. Of course, you will have to wait for months and most procedures and drugs will be rationed, although the politically well-connected will mysteriously jump to the head of the queue. The politically not-so-well-connected, well, some of them will die.
Government’s single-payer plan will save WHO money?
By not giving people what they need of course and they keep your money. Fantastic!
Summary: I want someone else to pay my medical expenses.
“You are delusional to think the government can save you money.”
True. But this present system is not sustainable either.
I personally think it’s coming down to this: there will be “tiers” of health care. At the lowest tier, it’s not terribly expensive, but you aren’t going to get a heart-lung transplant or recombinant DNA therapy out of it. Other tiers will get you more exotic treatments. I have pointed out to people that in 1985, my wife and I insured each other through our employers and we paid up to and including nothing for it. True, many treatments available today weren’t available then, but people did seem to live reasonably normal and healthy lives anyway, and the life expectancy was only a little less than today.
how’d we get so confused about what health care really is?
our healthcare system really has very little to do with things needed for true health of body and mind.
overwhelming reasons people see their doctor is because they have not been taught or shown (as child or adult) what the body and mind truly need for best health and/OR they choose not to do those healthy habits so their body breaks down in one form or another.
Our healthcare system is largely a bandaid - most doctors just give pills and procedures and not really steer people toward healthy choices (because they’ve been taught to assume it’s normal to have people repeatedly sick in some way and coming back). Too many people’s lives are cut short too many years by this.
It’s tragic and not the good health God intended us.
Hmmm, this is Santa Rosa, home of statist freaks.
Aside from that, though, she’s blaming the insurance companies for simply carrying out the policies of the government. Insurance companies have always tried to prevent paying out anything because it impacts their bottom line; however, they knew they had to do it. But unfortunately, the new government mandates (for everything from pre-existing conditions to maternity care for people well past childbearing age) have enabled them to bill a fortune for nothing.
Get the government out of it except for basic anti-fraud regulation and make the insurance companies back into competitive businesses and not part of the state apparatus, and you’ll see a change.
Her main complaint is that as gov mandated Obama care has ramped up, her costs have gone up dramatically. So then,her solution is to increase government involvement? See my tagline.
