3) When healthcare is "free" people go to the hospital for BULLSHIT Reasons. WIthout insurance I've skipped going for the hospital for BROKEN bones which have caused some long term problems but I didn't want to pay for them to do shit that I figured I could do at home. I've even had shoulder dislocations put back in myself. The last time I went I had stepped on a long rusty object and I waited over a week to go when I had red lines going up my leg.
As an example, poor people with the free healthcare bring their kids in over every sneeze and cold. Healthcare system will simply be overwhelmed.
- The real solution to healthcare? 2 things 1)Put caps on lawsuits and make it a LOT harder to sue your doctor. Lawsuits have driven insurance up to insane levels for dr's. My wife has even been dragged into some of the dumbest lawsuits.
2)On top of that simply reduce costs of meds! If Mexico and the rest of the world can get these drugs so much cheaper why the hell cant we? Don't force us to make up all the "research" costs, spread it evenly throughout the world!
Health insurance is completely unaffordable for most people. It would be possible to OFFER a government oversight solution like medicare to the nation but not make it paid for by tax payers! make them pool the monthly fee like a traditional health insurance plan only use low oversight, not for profit oversight to that pool. I am NOT for taking tax dollars and putting it into healthcare.

Nurses often have no clue what they are talking about... I know several myself, and all are about as dumb as rocks on this subject. Happens because Doctors are afraid of being capped. Yep, that has to happen if you regulate the insurance companies....
Crazy to think these people are here help the people, but demand so much money. Makes lawsuits understandable when the Doctors actually don't care.
- This isn't a health plan, it's a opt in gov plan, exactly like they have now. So you can have insurance, and this, or not insurance and this only. IE: Opt in.
- Preventative care is what he is going for. IE: Far less waiting
- He is talking about more quick care stations too, like broken arms, colds, jobs for nurses. Again, we are talking about the already active Gov medical system that has these procedures.
- Right now people bring in family/kids because we have no preventative care and total crap quick care system. Basically, Doctors tell you to goto the ER for everything, so blame them.
- We are a free market or we are socialists. If you choose an insurance policy, your pills/prices may be higher. If you go with the socialist gov, they set the prices on what they will pay. Again, why the insurance they have is so good.
- Yours and my Tax dollars already pays for health care for the gov, military, poor, illegals, visitors, and vets. Why not include your family and kids, if you choose to use it?
