Farming run by the government = famine

Housing run by the government = the projects

Healthcare run by the government = rationing and "NICE" deathpanels

Schools run by the government = people graduating high-school illiterate

There are a few things that only the government can do (i.e. military, patents, etc.) for everything else the private sector is more efficient. Competition drives cost down and quality up. Period.

This fraud costs the taxpayers and is worse than profit, since the profit is not earned. A legitimate business must please its customers, otherwise they will make no profit.

I don't see why you think profit is evil, if someone, or a company, does something for me, I think they deserve to make some money. If someone agrees to pay my medical bills in an emergency, I beleive they should make some money from it.

About the poor, there are many good doctors that want to help those in need, so let them. There are too many rules and regulations preventing doctors from helping those in need. Look up the case of Dr. John Muney.

Yes, the government will make a profit off of healthcare. The government is corrupt. They will appropriate some money for their friends - Medicare/Medicaid have a good deal of fraud.

(cont'd)

The government can, at best, exchange one set of problems for another. If there is not enough healthcare supply, the price will be raised until the effectual demand meets the supply. If the government makes it free, the demand goes up, but there is not an increased supply, so there is a shortage that must be rationed, hence long waiting lines in countries with socialized medicine.

I've been reading your debate here, and I have a few comments. About 250 million do have good health insurance, and of those who don't, 1/3 qualify for medicare/medicaid, 1/3 make more than enough to afford it ($75,000), and most of the rest are illegal immigrants. However, there are those who can't afford health insurance, but there are caring people and charities that will take care of them. There are free clinics in the US, and the ER will take anyone who is seriously injured.

@mosikkkk Oh, OK. I can't use the American Cancer Society, cant use the American Medical Association, can't use the Keiser Family Foundation, guess I'll just have to use the Huffington Post and the DailyKos for all my stats, huh? I'm through with you, dude. You clearly can't listen to facts, and don't have any of your own.

[kylethebomber]

@mosikkkk First: The Keiser Family Foundation is a "non-profit, non-partisan source for facts, information, and analysis for policy makers" not an insurance company. They tend to lean left. Also, you would be getting the money your wife's employer is paying for health insurance as income if they weren't paying it out of pocket. If you look at the history of health insurance in the US, it was originally offered by employers to get around wage controls of WW2.

@kylethebomber I say again use unbiased sources please. AMC is biased .

[mosikkkk]

@kylethebomber We don't have Keiser in Nevada. I don't need you to shop for me. My wife is a nurse we have Insurance. I was just Challenging you. I looked there is none. People that don't have work insurance are getting sc(*&ed .

@mosikkkk I would agree that my friend is one of the lucky ones. That is because he lives in the USA. According to the American Cancer Society's 2007 global facts and figures, Americans have a higher 5 year survival rate than Europeans for EVERY SINGLE DISEASE THEY MEASURED for males and ALL BUT 2 for females. Including (but not limited to): Prostate Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Leukemia, Colon Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Melanoma, and Breast Cancer.

@mosikkkk I'm not going to shop for insurance for you, but I can tell you that the Keiser Family Foundation found in 2006 that the average cost for a single 25 year old to get insurance was $57/mo, and it was $205/mo for a 60 year old. Sounds pretty cost effective to me. May I be so bold as to suggest a high-deductible plan with an HSA if you are short on cash? Unfortunately Americans have come to expect plans to cover even routine things, and that's not the point of insurance.
