The current system does not work and you think taking it over totally by the government will make it better ?
Instead of $14 per pill, tylenol will go up to $200 per pill (charge in hospitals) and the insurers and drug makers will get even richer.
The best way to bring health care down is to completely drop insurance except for hospital care ..the way it used to be. Doctors start charging directly and patients pay directly and watch how quick costs come down to within salary levels.

... The reason so many people go to emergency rooms for subacute conditions or problems that emergency rooms should not be handling is because they were not able to go to doctors earlier when the conditions could have been dealt with easier and for less cost.
You claimed that folks are dying due to a lack of health care availability.
I asked you who is dying? and you responded by trying to insult me.
I said that when uninsured folks get sick they go to the ER, to which you finally agreed.

People go to the emergency room because they have no better choice, not because that is how things should go. Save your spin for someone who actually functions on a lower level. How's that for an insult?
As for examples of people dying for lack of insurance:

Well if you don't have a salary then you have unemployment, welfare and food stamps. What..you want it all and you want it for free ?
Have you noticed all the layoffs lately? With layoffs comes a loss of income, and of health care benefits, since health insurance is more often than not tied in to employment. Health care on the open market is too expensive for those who are on unemployment. Nobody wants anything for free. They just don't want to worry about them or their children getting sick and not being able to take them to the doctor. I guess that's an entitlement too, right?
I hope none of you Darwinists ever gets sick or loses your health insurance. You people just dont get it.
