2. Health care will be rationed.
Rationed > none, which many people can't afford....
3. No incentives for doctors of all kinds to become doctors or to stay in the medical profession because salaries will be capped.<
Doctors actually care about helping people, not everyone is money hungry.
4. Enormous taxes for everybody in order to pay for universal health care.
Refer to point 1.
5. Patients will wait months and years for care. This will especially hurt the elderly the most. The elderly will die waiting for care.
This already happens, plus people will be welcome at all hospitals instead of those just approved by their health insurance.
6. No guarantee illegal aliens will not be recipients of health care that American taxpayers (you and me) will pay through the nose for.
For the better of mankind. Funny how you preach peace and humanity yet you feel it is alright to deny someone good health. I think you need to re-think your morals.
7. Government bureaucrats will determine who will receive care and who won't.
Won't everyone receive care, how is it that your worried that illegal aliens will get it but you won't?... 8. Health care will no longer be determined by doctors and their patients but be run by a nameless faceless government bureaucracy.
You act like medicare or medicaid doesn't have horrible issues as is.
If your so worried about the costs of such things, why don't we start taxing churches, that should bring in some $100 billion+
The implication is that health care would stop the person from going bankrupt. It might delay the bankruptcy but not stop it. The biggest effect of health issues is a decrease in income which leads to the inability to keep prior commitments.
2. Health care will be rationed. Rationed > none, which many people can't afford....
The implication is that those without insurance have no health care. This is a false premise. Those without insurance receive health care for free. However, those without health care have their services rationed compared to those without. If for example, 15% of the population was without insurance, then 15% are being rationed. If this plan passes, in a short time, 100% of the people's health care will be rationed.
3. No incentives for doctors of all kinds to become doctors or to stay in the medical profession because salaries will be capped.< Doctors actually care about helping people, not everyone is money hungry.
The implication is that there are plenty of talented people who will become doctors rather than something else. If the costs of schooling and specializations and establishing practices were not offset by healthy income, the supply of doctors will decrease.
4. Enormous taxes for everybody in order to pay for universal health care. Refer to point 1.
This refer to point 1 implies that the only issue is the tax cost. Government does a terrible job purchasing goods and services. It is inefficient, subject to scandals and misappropriation by politicians. In essence we are adding another layer of cost on top of a health care system.
5. Patients will wait months and years for care. This will especially hurt the elderly the most. The elderly will die waiting for care. This already happens, plus people will be welcome at all hospitals instead of those just approved by their health insurance.
I have not met an elderly person who died waiting for health care. Under this plan, the incentive for the government is to throw enough red tape in the works (something government is real good at) to cause many to die waiting for care. As for access under current plans, most allow full access or simply a larger deductible for out of net work service.
6. No guarantee illegal aliens will not be recipients of health care that American taxpayers (you and me) will pay through the nose for. For the better of mankind. Funny how you preach peace and humanity yet you feel it is alright to deny someone good health. I think you need to re-think your morals.
This is one area where we can see savings. Mexicans may do better or as well in their own country getting health care.
7. Government bureaucrats will determine who will receive care and who won't. Won't everyone receive care, how is it that your worried that illegal aliens will get it but you won't?...
Health care will get rationed if government is involved. Simple see what the veterans homes and hospitals are like.
8. Health care will no longer be determined by doctors and their patients but be run by a nameless faceless government bureaucracy. You act like medicare or medicaid doesn't have horrible issues as is.
Medicaid is coverage for the uninsured and is rationed as explained before. Medicare is mandated but its effect on the whole health care system is not complete. Doctors and patients are still able to thrive in the remaining market.
If your so worried about the costs of such things, why don't we start taxing churches, that should bring in some $100 billion+
Why not all charities, and why not taxing the states too?
What a good little commie....he must get the Times on his doorstep since those replies are simply repeated ad nauseum by the propagandists who lay claim to others people’s money and overall best interests.
I fear those self-righteous types the most since they hide behind a cloak of “morality” thus disguising their true intentions which eventually lead to eroding liberty and gaining control.
Cheers!
Tell him.. We don’t need no stinkin’ Gov’t Health Care! Private insurance would be affordable if we had tort reform and sent illegal immigrants home!
“You act like medicare or medicaid doesn’t have horrible issues as is.”
Your friend’s son just refuted his entire list of arguments. Idiot is an appropriate label for that little marxist.
The only thing that anyone needs to know is that as soon as the government is providing health care, that is the day the government is now in control of every individual’s physical being. In addition, there is no longer any semblence of medical privacy between the doctor and patient, therefore negating Roe v. Wade. These dolts don’t even realize that they are hoping to overturn Roe.
And finally, this is my response to the marxists:
So, when this “health care for all” crap passes, right now the legislation states that it will be illegal to sell private policies over the date of passage. It also says that HSA’s will no longer be allowed. That means that my current policy will no longer be allowed and neither I nor my employer will be allowed to privately purchase an alternative.
I will not accept the “public option” that I will be dictated to join. I will not give the government control over my physical body. I will not pay their fines, I will not surrender to the impending warrant for my arrest. When they knock on my door, I will not answer. When they kick it in, I will make the news.
How’s that for unification, libtards? You loons are currently legislating my death. I will chose the terms and I will bring as many of you along as possible!
