It’s obvious you either don’t have a clue about how healthcare is delivered in this country, or you are being purposefully obtrusive on the matter. There is not a single person in this country that doesn’t have access to healthcare, whether they can afford it, or not. If that were not the case, I would not have gone without a raise for years on end and the hospital I work at would not have given away an average of $110 million every year in “free” health care. People may not get the care they want. In twelve plus years, I’ve never seen anyone die from “lack of care”.
Like many people you mistake heath insurance with health care. Tell you what, you show me in the Constitution, and the associated papers the founders left detailing how they came about creating it, where the federal government is mandated to concern itself in healthcare, and I will support federal involvement 100%. Until that time, I stand on the principle that the US government has no place involving itself in such matters and the issue should be left to the states. If a state wants its own mini-Obamacare, I could give two spits; the fedgov needs to get out, though.
Nope..
I am a native-born American. I am very familiar with healthcare.
I am simply saying, that our healthcare system is VERY EXPENSIVE, it doesn’t cover people nearly the way it should, and Obamacare was an effort by the left, to do something about those things which we had done nothing to fix in the past.
I am frankly getting disappointed our side seems so determined to simply go back to the expensive mess we had before the system was changed.
Our side is supposed to be the good guys.
All I am seeing at the moment, is a bunch of people claiming “leftist” when I talk about this issue.
I am not a leftist. I am not. I am however very disappointed by the way our system so terribly abuses the costs of medical care.
It is beyond simply expensive. It is abusive.
Our side should be doing something to fix it. Not going back to what we had before, which was a terribly expensive, system which does not cover nearly enough people.
We are on the wrong side.
It seems to me.
