Companies have to make a profit. What started all this was health insurance which was promoted by the unions. It's made healthcare unaffordable, and made people hypochodriacs. Quote: |
THAT is why we have an obligation to make sure everyone's health is taken care of. Not because people are lazy or "wusses". That is just cruel thinking in my opinion and it equates to name calling about something which is pretty damn serious.
| There are people out there that could buy health insurance, but they won't. They expect someone else to pay for their HC. Mostly the people now who don't have HC are pretty poor, and they usually have some sort of HC. We already have a lot of free HC in this country, it's just not universal. I think it will mean all will suffer for the few. Nobody will get the best care anymore unless you pay out of pocket, and some people will buy HC anyway as a supplement if this will be allowed, but some countries don't allow supplemental plans with the universal HC. I think it will be a mess. I think to some degree your health is your own business. People expect too much from government. Too much spreading the wealth around. |
