Instances like the one I described previous racked up a bill of over $204 billion in 2006 alone and costs are increasing at 5 times the rate of inflation.
Estimates say that GIVING healthcare to every citizen would cost about $120 billion a year. Do the math?
By the way... if you don't have health insurance you don't go to jail... you pay a fine to counteract the negative externality you impose on everyone else.
People who don't have health insurance harm others. Just like drivers without liability insurance harm others. In order to combat this externality basically a tax is imposed on the uninsured and they're forced to get insurance or pay a fine. This is meant to prevent them from costing tax payers.
John Doe gets in a car crash, dies, goes on life support for 10 days. Then he dies in the OR after racking up a bill of over $10 million. He doesn't have insurance. Tax payers get the bill.
The US healtcare system still denies people from their healthcare. Denying people inhuman. Healthcare is a basic human right and should be accessible to anyone.
I'm in favor of how the UK organized their healthcare: You pay your taxes , everyone gets free healthcare, and private corporations are open to those who want unneeded treatment like breast implants or a slightly increased level of care, although the NHS does a wonderful job as it is.
"America's health care system is second only to Japan, Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, well...all of Europe. But you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!"
It's the middle class who suffers, its the people who are not poor enough to qualify for "assistance" and not rich enough to afford private insurance because they make it so expensive.
@uprooting and maybe money doesn't entitle anyone to better food? One can live without a medical care, but not without food and there are people who cannot afford quality meals, so let government run a National Nutrition Department so everyone could get equally good dinners!
@uprooting Yes money does entitle you to better healthcare. Better doctors charge more. If you can't afford them, then you have to go with a lesser doctor.
@david52875 The states has written their end. All you right wing fucks saying you can't protect yourselves without dumping a trillion a year into new ways to coat bullets with depleted uranium and build rc airplanes that drop bombs on white dots hostile/not and kill sand niggers, while all the meanwhile you could easily have universal health care for your own country, the countries north and south of you,and send aid to Africa for a tenth of what you spend on your third world genocide missions.
To all of you posters who want socialized medicine: take a look at Europe to see the results of unsustainable entitlements. If we follow their lead we'll all soon be working for the government. The only reform that will fix our problem is free-market reforms. And, if you don't understand free markets, I suggest you take the Free Markets, Free People class offered by the Independence Institute.
TRUTH: Am. 63 would lock us into higher-priced private insurance model where the sick fall out to die without coverage. It would PREVENT the state of CO from ever moving to a cheaper & fairer universal social insurance model and forever getting rid of parasitic private insurance companies.
VOTE NO on 63 -- especially if you don't like private insurance mandate. True universal coverage is the only way to get rid of the private insurers, and 63 would prevent that.
You cannot possibly HOPE to enforce such a mandate WITHOUT imposing a tax---which amounts to a a single-payer system..The law as written is really a mechanism to shift to socialized medicine.
There is NO WAY to enforce this law---therefore, the intention is not a way to make the market more amenable to consumers---but to eliminate the health care market altogether.
I am not a proponent of socialized medicine--simply stating that you can't have it both ways. This bill has actually increased the cost on the American people--insurance rates have skyrocketed...there is simply no free-lunch--those who do not have money for insurance are either going to have to pay it--or lose their jobs because the 'rich' had to pay for them, and had to downsize in order to afford it.
Yes, the private health insurance company has raised rates dramatically. The mistake the healthcare legislation made was it didn't implement the new policies immediately. My son-in-laws rates just got raised just about double. The PHI industry sees trouble coming down the pike so they are trying to financially rape as many people as possible before the new healthcare legislation takes place.
Well volunteer fire depts save people's lives for non profit and for the people just because its the right thing to do.
In contrast, doctors and private insurance companies only save lives for profit.
Why do doctors and Insurance companies think they are any better than the POLICE and Fire Department?
I volunteered for a fire dept not too long ago, does that mak,e a socialist? THe way FOX NEWS is talking, they think doctors deserve more credit than fire chiefs.
Hey now that your cartoon guys in jail at least he will have health care. If he doesnt pay taxes for his military he'll be there to. Oh ya for the roads also the police lets not forget the fire department. Now isn't that funny.
Do Americans think more Americans would die if they didnt have health care? And were turned away because they didn't and couldn't afford health care. We pay for a Military to protect us, why not pay for a nonprofit health care to protect us old and young.
The only problem with the new healthcare reform is that the private health insurance companies are still involved. And the Democrat Congress wimped out by not voting in the public option. I hope to God that when my 5 year old Grandson turns 18, he will have to look in a history book to find out what a private insurance company WAS! The PHI industry has been murdering people for profit for way too long now. How do I know? They killed my brother!
@bigmomhines - No, he has plenty of doctors in his immediate family. Most doctors are for this reform. It needs a lot of tweaking, but again, the PHI industry puts profit over peoples lives. My son-in-law is a General Manager for Ford, (non-Union) and pays $1,500 a month for health insurance and Ford matches it. $3,000 if fucking outrageous, don't ya think? About 1/2 of his income. If anyone with 1/2 a brain thinks we need the PHI industry raping us anymore is higher than a kite!
What will happen to you when you die? Have you ever told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain, or looked at someone with lust? If yes, then you are a lying, theiving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. When you die & stand before God you'll be guilty of breaking His law. The bible says you'll end up in Hell! But God sent God his Son Jesus to die for your sins, & He rose from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus died for your sins & was resurrected) you'll be saved!
ajhil, you are trapped in a false dilemma. We need to get back to when neither insurance companies nor govenment bureaucrats controlled your health care. The low-deductable insurance paradigm was foisted on us by tax law that dates back to FDR in the 1940's when wage controls forced employers to offer alternatives to attract talent. That paradigm is broken in the same way that Obamacare is: desensitization to cost. Be careful who you call a fool.
Are you people out of your minds? Who makes your healthcare decisions now? The insurance companies! If there are death panels now, they're run by the insurance companies too and whether you live or die is determined by how much money your life is worth to them. You'd rather have an insurance company bean counter make the crucial calls regarding your health instead of a professional government bureaucrat? Then you're a fool.
@ajhil As a doctor, I'd like to think I am the decision maker along with you as the patient as a partner. I can tell you I'd rather work with ins. co's than the government a million times over. The problems I have getting services for my medicaid patients is a billion fold worse than with insurance cos.
No offence, but I worked with the volunteer fire department in the past, and no offence to your profession, but I find a lot of doctors very arrogant and self righteous.
My colleagues bust their asses in burning buildings and they save lives just as doctors do, but they do it for non profit.
I'm not having a go at you, but some of the doctors I met looked down on us, and thought they were superior.
Volunteer Fire Depts sacrfice for the greater good, docs do it for profit.
that is strange, becauise I am a doctor too, but ihardly have any problems with the payments. oh, i forgot, there's one thing: i can't charge horrendous prices for minor exams anymore!
since i've become a doctor t provide help to people, i have no problem with that, but i can see how other doctors (profit oriented) have.
nevertheless, in behalf of the american people they are much better now!
If the facts don't work: lie. That's the neo-con credo. People use these lies to rationalize why they don't like the healthcare bill. I'm just sorry it doesn't go further. My son is in an institution. He will likely never be able to hold a job that will pay for his health care needs; I can't afford the ever-increasing costs. Options are essential for him and millions of others. The neo-con solution: shoot 'em behind the barn. It's true: I saw it on the internet. Less posturing; more solutions!
Jon Caldera characterizes the health care reform bill as "hugely unpopular". In fact, most people don't like the bill, but does this mean that they don't want health care reform? No! In every major poll, when they're asked why they don't like the bill, the majority say that it doesn't go far enough! In other words, they want MORE health care reform, not less!
Do you think Jon Caldera doesn't know this? Of course he does, but he doesn't want to admit it. So he lies. It's pathetic.
This is one of the most partisan untrue biased pieces of crap I've come a cross.
