That check isn't just printed and sent to these people, it taken from and given to them, out my pocket. How is that fair? I earned my money the hard way, I worked for it and put with a lot of crap to get it.
There ZERO problem with anyone receiving health care. You do not need health insurance to get the most basic of care, which can help you manage your life more healthily(if that's a word).
Health Insurance is $300 per month or at a minimum $3,600 per year. When you see a doctor the maximum they charge is $150. I see mine at least 4 times per year, so he knows me and my body. That comes out to $600. My medicines cost another $200 per year.
Let's see: $3,600 - $800 = $2,800. That's $2,800 that I did not need to spend and most people, if they sat down and looked at their actual used services vs how much they spend on health care, health insurance, deductibles, minimums, maximums, etc would really not justify the cost.
Are there challenges in the system? Sure, but who is going to pay for those services that can save “your” life or extend it? Should that be the rest of society by forced confiscation or should you be responsible for your health care.
It really doesn't cost that much to stay in shape and eat right(this coming from someone who has gotten rather lax in last several years but, I am working out again and eating right).
I really does not cost that much to develop a relationship with a doctor who will get to know you and your body.
What are the really big problems in health care that need fixing?
I have some ideas that are rarely talked about like refusing care for non emergency visits, from habitual abusers of the medical system. Things like the entire family coming in for check ups, colds, etc.
A hospital is not the proper venue for that. A doctor is.
