What is your opinion on what we should do about health care? (poll, death)

[Majin]

your thoughts?

Your choices should include none of the above.

I vote for establishing a single payer system and use the savings to pay down the debt. It removes the obscene profit from the healthcare system and allows access for all, at a reasonable price.

X2 for universal single payer.

If we're going to compete in the new industrialized world we need universal health care to level the playing field.

Getting the cost under control requires two things. First, universal coverage through a single payer system. Second, tort reforms that limit malpractice liability in such a way that doctors don't have to practice defensive medicine by ordering a plethora of needless tests to cover their butts in the event of a lawsuit. (For example, every pregnant woman has multiple ultrasounds done. 30-35 years ago, only risky pregnancies had even one.)

In addition, allowing under-65 Social Security recipients to enroll in Medicare would allow many 62-year old workers to retire and open job slots for younger workers.

Those are some of the worst poll choices I have ever seen. There is no final solution to healthcare, but in general, there needs to be less emphasis on greed and the hoarding of money over people's interest.

No way. Some people are not worth saving. People should insure themselves if they are so valuable to society.

I'd be for singlepayer...if you can tell me how to fund it...taxing the rich is not the answer

if you taxed the rich at 100% it would only raise 900 billion.....singlepayer will cost 2 trillion to 5 trillion every year, and always increasing with inflation and population
