Health care in America stinks !!!!
That is the only way to put it, and there is 3 countries I have heard of that have 100% government funded health care programs and they are rated the best in the world.
It keeps getting turned down here because politicians and private doctor's use scare tactic's on the public to keep it from being approved here.
The truth is private doctor's would no longer be able to charge higher cost for the same procedure as public hospital doctor's, and they give money to the politicians to lie saying you can no longer pick your own doctor's and you will be forced to go where they tell you to.
People wake up we have to do that now in the system we have, as not all hospitals do the same procedures.
I have a hospital 23 miles from my house, but if I was to have cancer or a stroke I would have to go over 100 miles away to a different hospital.
Then I have two parents who is and was living on social security, yet medicare charges them $107 dollars a month, and this does not even cover prescription costs. They had to get a secondary insurance which costs even more money a month just to have prescriptions covered.
That is just ridiculous !!!
Then you get people complaining at somebody who is at least trying to make a change in the system, and most of the complaints come from others who have absolutely no other solution in place.
Then you go to emergency rooms where there maybe only two or three other people waiting but yet still wait for 3 to 4 hours before even being seen.
I love my health care in the U.S. Name those three countries with government run health care that are so great. I will challenge you to prove they are superior to our health care.
Government run health care gets support only from liberal Democrats. No Republicans voted for it. The majority of Americans do not want it. The President promised that Obamacare would allow them to keep their current health care. He lied. He further promised that if they liked their doctor, they could keep him / her. He lied. You seem to believe the Government can successfully run health care. Based on what? How do they run the military, the post office, Amtrak, welfare, homeland security, TSA, border security, department of education, EPA, taking care of roads and bridges, Medicare, Medicaid, or anything they touch? They will spend ten times too much money and there will be ten times more waste and fraud.
I'm listening to Special Report on Fox. Charles Krauthammer just discussed Obamacare and stated the biggest insurer is pulling out after losing $600,000,000 last year and saying the government should bail them out.
It was never going to work. Too many sick people vs. the few healthy people signing up. Insurers were destined to lose money. It is just another government disaster. Government should stay out of health care.
If you have two parent living on social security, they have made some very bad decisions along the line. Social security was meant as a supplement to their retirement investment. If they failed to put money into a retirement plan, they are to blame, not the government.
Medicare hands out more than it can afford. It is quickly going broke. Medicare part D, prescription coverage, cost taxpayers billions and is helping bankrupt Medicare. Yet people whine and complain they are getting too little for the cost and want more for free. We can thank those people for bankrupting the whole Medicare and Mediciad programs.
Learn simple math. Medicare costs are rising rapidly and entitlement spending is now close to 70% of all federal spending. Yet some people want us to spend more on entitlement spending. With interest payments on the debt growing with continued deficit spending, we all get to watch the U.S. government go broke and our economy collapsing. Then guess how much free health care you and your parents will get. Zero, nada, nothing.
