health care is a good not a right like a house, car, food and water
We have socialized medicine now. At a minimum 46% of all HCare expenditures are paid by the government. We do spend the highest % of GDP on HC in the world and that is ridiculous. But just because that is a true statement does not mean a bill or ANY HC bill congress passes will help us. Our system today from a cost perspective is dysfunctional and there is no easy clean up, I do know the political class has no answer to the problem, but they do look good in their blue suits and red pant suits
your thinking of nationalization bitch
and misery loves company
“Progressive Socialists “are a recycling of old socialism
The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Winston Churchill
If privatized health care is so good…tell congress to give up their 100% free government run health care….
Exactly they wont….why is it good enough for them but not us??
The US has the highest health spending (in % of GDP) and the worst health indicators among all rich countries. Obama’s plan might not be ideal, but the Republicans have wilfully ignored the problem, when not making it worse.
