Health insurance for everyone is great but how about affordable health CARE. Insurance for everyone is just another layer of costs. The health care system is broken and needs to be fixed FIRST.

[WuergWuerg]

Opponents of universal health care worry too much about the arcane semantics about whether it's a "right" or "privilege". It's a good idea with broad economic benefit. The world wide track record for the cost efficiency of universal health care has been verified for over 50 years now, with the U.S. cost to benefit consistently shrinking relative to other countries during that period, not to mention increasing numbers of people falling out from under its aegis.

[affr0a55au1t]

people who can't afford it don't get it. what's so hard to understand? our healthcare is not socialized, it's privatized. and in general, people are not altruistic.

[WuergWuerg]

And that is why medical schools have largely abandoned the Hippocratic oath as a requirement for that reason since it is in fact a philosophical code which harnesses medical practice with morality and altruism. Not that doctors have ever really followed the code to the letter in recent history anyway.

health Care, Heal Care, Care!

what happened to the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? i think healthcare falls under 'life' and therefore is a right.

[affr0a55au1t]

Healthcare is a privilege, not a right.
