So, money should be the trump factor in the decision to provide or withhold medical care. Health care decisions being made by bean counters.
Which is exactly the argument now being used against health insurance companies to justify their extinction.
And, by the way, when government becomes the only health care provider in the country, who do you suppose will be the people working deep in the bowels of the industry? In order to staff the health care industry, the government will need to recruit people who have experience working in the health care industry. Where do they find such employees?
Do you think that maybe all those nameless, faceless bean counters killing us today in the name of private health care cost cutting will become tomorrow’s newly hired government nameless, faceless bean counters killing us in the name of “lowering costs of health care?”
You raise an excellent point.
Statists seem to believe that private corporations are wasteful and malevolent, while government agencies are models of efficiency and compassion. Presumably, if those private-sector employees are put to work for the government, they will be transformed into saints.
