Follow the MONEY

Health care in America can not be denied solely based on a person inability to pay. This is the law today as we sit here and discuss Universal health care.

With that who pays now to cover the under and the uninsured. The insured by being over charged and that being passed onto the insurance companies.

By the Taxpayer covering the under and uninsured who is allowed to make more money?

Do you still support HR676? and Why?

What about the Military Retiree that earn his medical coverage will they be compensated to regain the value of their retirements?

Do you remember the VA Medical scandal just two years ago? That is Government run health care is that what you want?

Tied to a job? I think people nowadays are tieing themselves to their jobs. And how do you plan on paying for all this. Raising Taxes would be the only way and I dont know anyone that wants taxes to be raised. And obviously people dont have the money to pay for healthcare to begin with so what makes you think that raising taxes to pay for it would work.

Well, for starters, the gov’t can’t do a damn thing correctly, and you want them providing you with healthcare, be my guest, but I will not participate in it from any source derived.

I don’t think it is. People who have insurance still pay huge out of pocket expenses and are often refused coverage of specific treatments that the doctor recommends. Then there are the people who just can’t afford insurance at all, small business employees with no group health insurance, people with pre-existing conditions, etc. It is currently a mess.

key word: every resident would be covered from birth to death. including the illegal ones. so that means we would have to pay extra money. plus, half of health problems are self caused by drinking or alcohol

It is and it isn’t. To the extent people are not covered, it is worse. To the extent that care is better than it will be under a universal system (if that turns out to be the case) it is better.

The current health care format is totally pathetic. If you are UN insured you get second rate doctors, Companies that do offer health care insurance want to supply the bare bones that the patient has to choose the network that it feels fit, Every one should be able to choose a doctor that feel comfortable with. and not be forced to use generic medications. As for the medicare flap you mention, Again nursing care doctors are second rate physicians that cant cut it in the real hospital. Lets hope you never have a medical emergency that needs long term care> and when you get old you will not need medical care You high and mighty republican.
