This is not a health insurance program. It is a health services RATIONING plan.
You are only gonna get just so much in the way of health services, and when you have used up your year’s allotment, then you get on the list for NEXT year. ‘Cause that is how long until you get to see the doctor again.
The demand for health services is going to greatly exceed the capability of the single payer system to deliver those health services. There is simply no flexibility anywhere.
Think Cuba. Even Castro had to go outside the national network to find somebody who could take him ahead of his turn, and provide COMPETENT care.
I did a quick check on her web site, it doesn’t look too bad, if she’s telling the truth. You can keep private insurance, but uninsured get subsidies I think.
It also regulates insurance companies to prevent rejection (this happened to me). At least its not Castro care like Edwards or Kucinich.
Not government run? Laughable when you stop to consider the government will be there every step of the way to tell them who and what they must cover through legislation.
We will kill you with my health care plan. Plain and simple.
Everything is by force with democrats. Force employers to pay for their employees. Very dictatorial of her thighness. How is she going to force the self employed? This will go nowhere.
I think that the reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief.”
Pardon my ignorance but did she actually submit a “Plan” that we can read and see details? Or is this a “goal” with generalized key points and no clear “Plan” at all?
Realizing that merely saying She has a “plan” is sufficient to the sycophant media, but it would be fun to actually read this misguided Socialist death wish first hand.
“She put the government’s cost at $110 billion a year.”
That’s so absurdly low that just proposing it shows the woman is stupid.
If this is such a brilliant idea, why don’t New Yorkers start this in their own state? They have a committed liberal governor and a committed liberal NYC mayor and two committed liberal US senators?
Just like the minimum wage, dimocrats don’t want (or can’t)pass their brilliant ideas in their own backyards so they want to go to D.C. and force their own neighbors into doing something via Federal legislation. If this isn’t a difference between the two parties, I don’t know what is. Even Romneys socialist-lite program was only a crippling disease in his own state and doesn’t force Virginians or Floridians to pay for the Kennedy family rehab stays.
Make no mistake, Congress created the very health care crisis politicians are now vowing to fix through a myriad of payment schemes meant to support special interests.
Look back to 1985 when Congress passed legislation curtailing our nations ability to produce doctors. Both political parties were conspirators in the actions. They had to be as the Democrats controlled the House and the Republicans the Senate.
Costs rise when supply is cut, not when a method of payment runs in short supply. Government, politicians to be precise, created the health care crisis to fill their campaign coffers with money, and they have done so ever since. The financial health of their campaigns is of greater importance to them than medical health care.
Read it and weep: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-03-02-doctor-shortage_x.htm
Congress further worsened our health care in 2005 when it made it illegal for US citizens to purchase certified American manufactured prescription drugs from outside the USA, where they sold for considerably less. So much for free market principles. They have been made obsolete by government.
We need to push the spineless Republicans to push an investigation into her illegal money scandal and to keep talking about it.
If it’s not government run, how can it be mandatory ?
Whether or not you get health care depends upon government employees deciding if you are worth the effort.
Perhaps Hillary kare will one day decide that Freepers are narrow-minded reactionaries and a threat to healthy, democratic discussion; therefore, a nation's health is more important that anti-state miscreants. No health care for you, Freeper!
I'm nuts?
Then please explain recent reports out of England that some are not getting the care they need because of their life style or personal habits. Some are more equal than others of course and a "life style choice" just might entitle you to more, more, more . . . .
“Universal Healthcare” = Everybody stands in line!
Most Americans - regardless of party affiliation - won't trust a politician to tell them where the bathroom is. But, they'll put their health and the health of their families, in the hands of the same politicians.
