I disagree.
Healthcare in America is prohibitively expensive. Absurdly so.
As long as that is the case, everyone who wants insurance, deserves insurance.
Everyone.
I didn’t say it should be free. I have never said that. But Americans deserve to be protected abuse by gougers in healthcare.
Yes they exist.
Insurance IS the gouger. A thinking person would see this. Yet you want more. Just like a lib.
And what about the health care/hospitals overcharging and downright cheating. My son went in for a broken finger and part of the bill included costs for crutches (which, of course, he didn’t need and wasn’t provided). Ask for an aspirin in a hospital and see how much you are charged. Many hospitals are just as guilty of gouging as the new Obamacare laws. Obamacare needs to be totally revoked, hospitals/health care facilities need to be more closely monitored for financial abuse, there should be lots of low pay health care clinics opened for minor medical problems for which you would be turned away at a hospital emergency room (for flu victims, people who need stitches, monitoring, etc.)to free up emergency rooms for real patients. That might be a real overhaul and a move in the right direction.
In all seriousness, healthcare in the US is only expensive if you use insurance. A lot of us are forced to discover that, thanks to ANA.
It is a very happy discovery.
“Healthcare in America is prohibitively expensive. Absurdly so.”
That’s because the consumer is out of the loop and government subsidizes it.
Get government out of the industry, let market forces work, and the cost will come down.
It is expensive.
The “why” is critical.
It is because government regulation and government mandates and required govt compliance measures, and the insane amount of money required to do govt testing of things - basically government fascism in the healthcare industry, that is the cause of it.
The more government has gotten involved to “fix things” was when costs in all areas for people started geting increasingly worse.
