Cost, Quality, Competition, Coverage. Hmm. Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND!!! LOL!
This program is flawed from the get-go because like Obamacare and Romneycare, requires some type of centralized-government management. And anything government-managed that states it can produces upgrades in cost and quality is a joke. Government-management is synonymous with inefficiency.
Healthcare Management is not an inherent function of the Government. And because any Government Program usually starts out “inefficient”, the way most politicians try to fix that is by adding on additional amendments and provisions. Remember when you were griping about 9-9-9 becoming 12-12-12 or 20-20-20? Just like the liberals griped about No Child Left Behind, they would be griping about the inefficiencies of a Government-Run Healthcare System. Once ANY system was enacted, the desire to tack on would be there, ultimately resulting in an indivudal mandate or some other greater kind of government control.
The Federal Government needs to stay out of the business of Healthcare Management and let the private sector do it’s job.
Cost...hospitals can’t turn away emergency room care EVEN if the person is uninsured..or rarely do they ever turn away a pregnant woman, gun shot victim, drug over dose patient and do you think the “private sector” picks up the tab? hospitals get stuck with the bills so YOU the taxpayer pick it up in some hidden taxes.
Some are using the free healthcare on the backs of others...some from the womb to the tomb...who pays? the taxpayer
