So you're already paying the most for healthcare in the World, period. What other benefits come with that? 15% of the population not covered by insurance resulting in lives literally being destroyed financially after a major medical incident. All of this and as an added bonus, a shorter average life span than any developed nation.
Only an American could possibly think the American healthcare system works well. Single payer social medical systems completely eliminate the middle layer of insurance bureaucrats and share holder profits. It's money being spent in the name of health care but actually just completely wasted. |
Yep but the pundit kool aid drinkers are too blind. They dont realize obama is not a liberal. That's why he pushed for a insurance company mess. Medicare for all would of worked much better and would of been pretty much flawless. Everyone gets base care and then you could buy add on policies if you want more. It takes employers out of the insurance business and makes us more competitive with countries with gov healthcare.
Give nurse practitioners more power. They can handle most things before they become big problems and they are much cheaper.
My Dad worked in healthcare and he used to say, for most things you dont need a doctor. A medic gets 12 weeks of training and is saving lives on the battle field. Why cant that same medic take care of a sinus infections?
