Oh, so you only like it when the government "sledgehammers" someone else and not you or your industry. I see.
The whole point is that not every segment of society lends itself to a free-market approach - and that MAYBE health care is one of these.
Take the military. Could you envision a situation where the EXACT SAME market dynamics that apply to manufacturing widgets translates PRECISELY into operating our armed forces?

Too much silliness. Good night.
Actually, the military is part of the government, so I don't know what relevance that has. But, yeah, we could use free market economics to streamline waste in it.
The more interesting thing is how healthcare can be sledgehammered by the government, but not other industries, conveniently and coincidentally. How about this instead? The government forces everyone in America who is NOT in healthcare to donate their time -- say one weekend a month -- to help out in healthcare fields, including nursing homes and hospitals? That's on top of your current job and you don't get paid.

You simply don't have a clue as to what you write about.
And, as a single woman, I shouldn't have to pay to subsidize the result of a man gratifying his sexual urges just because he doesn't want to pay his fair share. Time for him to sell his 800 dollar cell phone and brand new car and pay child support instead of sucking me dry.
I totally agree, but take that up with all the women who won't name a father on their babies' birth certificates because they know doing so cuts their public assistance benefits. THERE'S the problem.
It's SO much of a problem that an IL Legislator introduced a Bill requiring that a father be named or that woman's and child's public assistance benefits would be eliminated.
Ironically, you mean that way you support government regulating legal abortion right out of existence?
Oh, you're yet another one who thinks it's OK that women's abortion clinics have lower medical and safety standards than ambulatory surgery centers that serve men? Why not deregulate it all completely and just let them go back to the equivalent of dirty coat hangars in back alley facilities?
Misogynists rear their ugly heads again. Disgusting!
To those who oppose the ACA how would you deal with people with pre-existing conditions with your health plan?
Sure
Do your absolute best to be healthy
Don't be....
100 pounds overweight
Smoke
Use drugs
Engage in risky sex or pursuits purposefully
Never exercise
Eat copius amounts of bad foods and meat
And then expect medicine to fix you
If you have done the above...
Then
Insure everyone with catastrophic insurance that everyone pays something for.
If you are REALLY disabled then go into the pool of such people
Kind of what Trump is proposing...
If you don't engage in healthy behavior don't expect us to pay for it
Sorry dopers of all kinds... We won't pay for you
