In response to the to a fella I know that thinks universal healthcare is a crock o' shit, his response was to my question to anyone against universal healthcare i'm curious if you 1. ever been without insurance 2. ever had to actually USE their insurance for a catastrophic illness or injury 3. even really know what their policy covers 4. thinks their life is worth more than their neighbors....just curious...
he thought it is just a competitive business to which another responded about how much is misunderstood....i liked my little rant here so I share with you :)
that’s part of my point, most people are very naive about the whole healthcare crisis to begin with, they think just because they have health insurance they are fine. Yea, if you are young, healthy and don't get in an accident you're fine I suppose. We are all one catastrophic, or in the case of some plans less than catastrophic illness or injury away from homelessness and bankruptcy due to health insurance coverage. We have politicians and high paid CEOs determining how healthcare dollars are spent, sorry but that’s pretty asinine. Would you want me fixing your car or defending you in a legal battle? No...Many administrators don't have a clue, they are just worried about the bottom line and making a profit. http://www.guaranteedhealthcare.org/tags/healthcare-denial-healthcare-protest-donna-smith-sicko-cnannoc Healthcare should not be a for profit business...hell it shouldn't be a 'business' at all.
Universal healthcare may actually have little to no detrimental effect of doctors at all, in fact their will benefit from the reduced administrative costs...for profit insurance companies spend an astronomical amount of time and money to make a profit...at the expense of LIVES. For example the average physician’s office in a single payer system spends 2 hours per week on administrative tasks, we here in the US just shy of 40 hours…now tell me that’s not wasteful. Health insurance plans cause physicians and hospitals nothing but headache.
One system that treats EVERYONE equally would actually help control costs. Isn’t what this country is supposed to be about? Equality…” that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. “Healthcare needs to live within a budget, lines need to be drawn and algorithms need to be set. We need a government funded (which sorry to tell ya a lot of private insurance IS indeed government subsidized already) privately delivered healthcare. Before you even ask do I agree with Obama’s plan? NO. Do I believe that your life is just as valuble as mine and that my child should receive the same health care as yours? YES. http://hr676.org/
