Quote by: xyzer  If we concede that health care is a private industry in the USA then isn't the so called 'affordable' health care that Hillary wants to inflict on us an attempt to socialize medicine? Doesn't it mandate that all of us join under threat of government garnishment of our wages if we dont?
Agree gandpa full socialism is when a country controls most,or all, of the industries, but healthcare is only a start? Once that is achieved why can't government control be instituted in other industries, even sports? All the socialist minded presiident needs is an excuse? In this case Clinton calls it affordable health care, Suggesting that our system is only affordable to a few.
Lets face it, is anyone turned away from emergency care because they cant afford it? Even illegals get free emergency care? How many are complaining about the high premium costs of medical insurance? Get real we have been warned over and over again that certain related entitlements like Medicare(healthcare) social security are going to run in the red unless something is done about them, now Hillary wants to add another entitlement to the mix? How do we pay for this?
Add in reality if medical care becomes cheaper and or even free we will use it more and the quality will erode. Bubba's got a boil on his ass, take him to the docter? Doctors will be forced into accepting fees, lines will grow longer and waits for surgery longer! That's what happened in England and Canada?
I'm not saying that some sort of government funded help cannot ever be used for those in very expensive medical procedures certified necessary by medical experts. What I am saying is the matter should be approached very carefully because in my estimation we are tinkering with the fastest, most efficient system in the world. I don't think we should screw it up for political purposes. |
Every member of Congress has already voted to adopt that policy for their self, they all use the same kind of health care insurance as what Hillary is advocating. So why should the rest of us Americans be denied the same plan being used by everyone in Congress and the Senate? All Republicans in Congress already have signed on to that program being funded by our taxes, which inclued their family members.
If it works for Congress it can work for everyone else. People like John McCain and Ron Paul are already covered by the plan that Hillary is proposing for everyone in the USA.
Point being - how can Congress debate the plan if they are using it already?
Many hospitals not backed by a major religion and strong charity donations have discontinued their emergency rooms. Because they cannot afford to keep them going because doctors want a decent pay for thier work and state of the art equipment is expensive. Cutting back the number of nurses in a hospital puts even the paying people in jepardy.
The Hillary plan will solve those budget probems in the medical industry.
As many hospitials discontinue their emergency rooms that causes an overflow at hospitals that do have such options, creating long waiting times at such places. Many times a person must wait as long as two days just to get checked out if the receptionist puts them on the low-emergency status list. While gang members that were shot duing a gang battle are rushed right in.
