MediCare is 44 years old and has not been challenged on constitutional grounds
|
in the end, its not about people caring about healthcare for others, its not. We have had MediCare for a long long time. Its about trying to defeat for political gain anything that the left/liberals want.
And j- you have presented very little ideas compared to the nay saying. You haven't really come up with a solution yourself either, just the need to defeat something.

do u believe the free market could eventually be made to do a really good job at taking care of heatlh care. better and fairer and more efficient then the federal beurocracy could?
|
If that is your solution, it is almost one in the same as a public option, government interference. Both ways will cost a little bit more in taxes.

am i to take it then that you people not only want people all to have health care but that you specifically want the gov't to get involved in heathcare-?
|
Another fearmongering technique used is for them to say gov't will take over healthcare. That is not the goal at all. Its called a public
option. You can get your private insurance if you want to. THe public option would create a rift in the market forces because it would be able to provide better service to people without the horrible practices used by private healthcare companies, and people would have the option to switch to it. This would effect the private healthcare companies and they would then be forced to change their policies and such. Once again, let me repeat, public
option

good care is expensive, we can either give everyone good care and help the poor pay for it . or we can make it shitty so that everyone can afford it. which would u want?
|
It doesn't have to be, and changing the field of healthcare would take care of that, as private companies wouldn't be able to charge outrageous prices for bad services.

The Washington Post just revealed that the Lewin Group, which is commonly cited by Republican lawmakers as an "independent, nonpartisan" think tank, is owned by UnitedHealth, one the country's largest health insurance companies.

Did anyone see this? Makes sense
