If Private health is as good as some would like us to believe...Obama couldn't destroy it. Obviously the thought of a better Govt run health system is scaring the life out of the Insurance "Fat Cats" and their followers.
Promise 'free' anything to some people and they will support it...
But the fact is Canada DOES have a shortage of Doctors.
The fact IS the UK has medical professionals leaving the country.
Quote:
In the study, of the 65% of junior doctors who did not intend to study medicine in the United Kingdom, two fifths cited UK working conditions as the main reason for wanting to leave--they wanted to stick with medicine but practice abroad. Two thirds gave reasons related to lifestyle choices.
A possible solution to the health problem in the USA could be a independant Govt run Health Insurance plan. This would mean that anyone who is happy paying for expensive premiums and controlled treatment could stay with the private insurance "Fat Cats". Anyone else could go over to the Govt run insurance plan. This plan would also include fre treatment to anyone earning under a certain amount. They could apply for exemption certificates. Pre conditions would not be a problem. Let's see how many of the staunch private insurance users stay private when they see everyone else getting better, unrestricted treatment for far less money.
Our Goverment could not run a Lemonade stand.....Wake up....
You're right, we don't have rights in this country do we. No right to eat, no right to call the cops if need be, no right to send your spawn to a public school, no right to a library, no right to have your house protected from fires. I think fire departments should be privately owned. When your $1,000,000 home is on fire you should have a seat at a table by the Joe's Fire House inc. secretary, to fill out forms while your house is burning down.
Got cancer, forget about it.
Are you saying that food is a right guaranteed by the Constitution?
The history of firefighting in this country was that they were private entities. That is why the term company is still used when describing a station house. They were paid by the insurers of the home or building that they tried to save.
Problems arose because it was a very lucrative business and therefore very competitive. The result was that several companies would show up at one fire and instead of putting the fire out, there would be fistfights between companies on the street.

Nothing is free but i love how some Americans are fighting tooth and claw to keep a extremely expensive and inefficient health system in America. Maybe they all have fought to bring back black and white T.V.'s or the use of chloroform in operations....lol

Obama's healthcare plan will make private medical care and insurance illegal in this country.

For people that don't want qov't bureaucrats making their health choices....
For people that don't want government bureaucrats making their health choices, why are you OK with private bureaucrats (aka insurance companies) making them?
Where did this myth that doctors are making your health choices come from? Doctors treat you based on what you insurance company is willing to pay. And in many cases need a approval before hand to even start a treatment.

It will be 'free' to a lot of people as they won't be paying for it,myself included hopefully.
As to our current system being inefficient...you mean like the NHS???

Not quite.
We're fighting to keep a rushed,poorly planned program from being instituted that may be of inferior quality, inadequate and, for many, more expensive than what we have now.
LOL....I am sure YOU are altruistic in that 'making a difference' is more important than your pay...
No one has ever said Doctors shouldn't be paid. Big difference between practicing money medicine and practicing actual medicine. NO poor Doctors in the UHC countries.
