Nope, I am not joking. Not in the least.
Either we need to help with insurance right now, or else we need to bring back American jobs.
As in: American jobs.
One or the other.
I’m thinking of the persuasive factor.
It is always better to be more than a person that says no - it is always better to offer alternatives that are better, that people can see and touch and feel. It helps them when they are on the fence.
Offering an alternative when they see what they are getting into is perfect timing.
Fine, lets deal with insurance. Perhaps being able to shop across state lines.
Your notion that the GOP needs to pass their own brand of “Obamacare” is the reason we’re in the position we’re in. It is abject idiocy! RINOs also accept the Dems premise on an issue, and then want to adopt their own version.
Sorry, but people like you simply enable RINOs to continue on with their Dem-lite policies. Just freaking sad!
Here is what I think about the insurance industry. They got spooked by HillaryCare. In order to cut single payer off at the pass, they started offering HMO’s and PPOs. THAT is what ruined our healthcare system and caused costs to rise, especially for the Doctors.
Before HMO’s and PPo’s people carried Major Medical and Hospitalization. Office visits were paid at the time of service like any other business. Boom! HMO’s PPO’s, yes, people could now see a Dr for a low co-pay. Now instead of being paid the doctors had to wait for payment, they had to hire an army of backroom workers just to get payments from insurance companies. Then add in the cost of malpractice insurance and lack of payments! The overhead became enormous. That is why Doctors must practice turn and burn with patients.
I pay out of pocket to see my doctor. It is way less than what he would bill an insurance co. Many Doctors have separate fees for self pay. Many Doctors are leaving regular practice and will do concierge medical care.......no insurance, cash only! They even do HOUSE CALLS like in the good old days!
Health insurance should be for real illnesses and disease, NOT for routine care! If we went BACK to that, along with tort reform, the cost for healthcare would DROP like a rock!
