So…here is a plan that I could support: Set up hospitals where physicians are paid a salary, where all tests are conducted at the residing hospital…where every kind of health care is available. If someone needs medical care and cannot afford to pay for it….they can have acces to this care center and take out a loan with the hospital/government to pay as they can.(very low interest, of course). Then allow tax-deductible charitable contributions to be made to help support these hospitals…or perhaps a percentage of state and local sales tax to support part of the funding for the hospital. But…people using it would have to pay…..at least nominally via low-interest loans. If they are severely destitute…the Medicaid kicks in…as it does now to pay for healthcare. Do not involve private enterprise except to the degree that they are paid providers for articles needed in said healthcare facility. I am sure that there must be a way that is so clear to allow me to keep my cherished right to say “yes” or “no” without turning this country into a socialist…and beyond that communist entity. By the way, this collective program that is being talked about is nothing more than a Trojan Horse…..a way to complete government take-over to be slightly postponed at a later date.
