Hillary’s Done, But Universal Health Care Proposals Live On
How much would our car insurance cost if it covered every automotive expense such as fill-ups, tune-ups, paint jobs, etc.? Clearly, this is absurd but so is the notion that health insurance has to cover just about every imaginable medical expense. There is little or no incentive for private individuals to lower medical expenses because with insurance, “someone else” is paying the bills. And then people complain that health insurance is so expensive.
I lived under government ran health care when I was in the military. If at all possible, I don’t want to go there again. The Democrats keep saying that over 40 million Americans lack health insurance (an inflated number). So, if that’s the case, why no write legislation that addresses those who are uninsured instead of trying to drag everyone into a government ran program? They’ve done a lousy job with Medicare and Medicaid but somehow think they’re capable of handling the health care of over 300 million people? Absurd. Tell you what – make Medicare and Medicaid examples of shining efficiency and quality care. Make them so good that people will look forward to being insured by the government. Once you’ve done that, we can discuss letting you manage health care for everyone.
