@drewwhonumba22 We have a similar system in The Netherlands. The system is also pretty much completely private, but legislation is in place to make sure they don't become evil... because they will if they can. In the US there was a time where not helping someone, i.e. refusing to insure them, had become a commodity. I think that was just criminal, and I really can't understand how someone could defend that.

@wrongwayup I think that is the state made it law to have insurance in the states and that it is provided by the state if people cannot afford it then the USA will have probably the best health system in the world. The problem with the USA system is a problem of equality of supply of service...totally agree that this is a major let down, however the services available are second to none.

@wrongwayup Yes i agree that total private provision of healthcare does not work but i think that the profit motive has advanced medicine far beyond what social healthcare has achieved. The 'fairness' of social healthcare is very clear, but i do no think any of the social healthcare systems would have been anywhere near as good without the innovations made in America. Germany has an excellent system that is virtually all private however it is law that everybody must have insurance

@drewwhonumba22 Also, it is important to note that health care corporations still operate from a profit standpoint, even in socialized health care systems like many European countries have. In other words, one does not have to exclude the other. You can have both, as long as you have proper social legislation.
-
@drewwhonumba22 Of course there is always profit involved, but when conflicts arise, like a health insurance company refusing to insure someone, it should always be solved from a social standpoint, and not a economical one. Whenever you allow big health care corporations to operate solely on business principles, without making legislation that forces them to also operate in a social manner, they will just go for where the money is, instead of going for the options that benefits people.
-
@wrongwayup I agree with the sentiment of what you are saying but unfortunately you are really only talking about front line services. Healthcare would be far worse all across the world of it was not for the profit motive in pharmaceutical and medical technology innovations. Companies profit every day even in a social health system

I've noticed a lot of US citizens claiming that the country being unable to afford healthcare for all. How many people have been saved by the biggest military budget in the world compared to the number of people who would survive if they received ACE inhibitors every week.
In quantitative terms, compare the number of deaths on 9/11 to the number of deaths from hypertensive illness. Then compare the medical and military budgets.
Just saying...
NHS doctor out
