No they don't and you have no proof the free market does not work for healthcare. Lasic surgery is a perfect example of the free market working.
Healthcare costs go up when government gets involved. We know that for a fact as there are plenty of examples. We know costs go down and efficiency goes up when there is competition in the free market but you don't understand that? lol
Because you are uninformed. Thats why you can't imagine.
You made everything up and cannot back it up. Just because you said so using no examples. ZERO
PROVE IT loveshiscountry.
Come on Love, PROVE IT. you're making an extraordinary claim that flies in the face of all known data so prove it....
UK pays about half as much a year per human as we do and they live longer.
Here is proof you are wrong lovehiscountry.....
Apparently education is a right for all children, something society provides through taxes as opposed to the parents. People who cannot afford health insurance are paying for someone else's kids school. So maybe health care should be a right too.
Probably not so much. If they can't afford health insurance, chances are that they are paying nothing for property taxes (probably renting) and are paying very little, if anything for state taxes.
On the other hand, the citizens of the state are probably paying for their Medicaid (and that for their children) as well as federally supported food stamps, WIC, and subsidized housing.
You wouldn't have any deductible if we had Canadian style single payer; that's what I want
Ahhhh but that's where you're wrong young Jedi.
You are confusing the concept of "single payer" with "free".....
I was recently in Canada on business and my counterpart I was working with there was suffering from a hernia.
I took the occasion to ask him about his counrty's health care system.
He said he was going to have to wait four months for his surgery, but that was ok because it gave him time to save up the $4000 that was his share of the cost.
Apparently the "free healthcare" in Canada ain't so free....
How much you have to contribute depends on sort of a lottery system that takes into account what your condition is, how much you make and what part of the country you live in.
So.....his was $4000......
Mine is currently $7500
Mine before the "Affordable Care Act" was $1800...
It's my right...
You have the right to....
Healthcare is a right...
College is a right....
Is it really a right, if someone else has to do it for you?
Can I force you to provide a right to me?
Or, do rights deal with Natural Law and things you can provide for yourself?
Interesting to see the diverse viewpoints to come.....
Healthcare is not and never will be a right. Only the immoral and greedy would force healthcare on others.
Learn exactly what a right is and then make an informed comment please.
Wanna bet?
It's closer than you could possibly imagine. Just wait.
