Name or describe the 'socialized medicine" nations that have a worse healthcare system than the USA.it's not a matter of being okay or not okay,, they are going to do it no matter if we are okay with it.. they will pay a political price for it though and just remember Annie, unless it is a constitutional amendment things can be re-thought and rewritten other socialist countries aren't doing well with socialized medicine and they don't have the population we do,, if they can't do it and stay solvent it's for sure the screw ups in Washington cannot do it.. We have 3 years and 265 more days of hell. then we will see what happens.
Provide statistics, not just opinion statements.
As a business owner, with more than 210 employees, I will tell you point blank that virtually every Corporation will benefit from reducing their expenses and burden of employee healthcare.
It will be good for capitalism, overall, especially in this global competition economy. .
A nationalized/socialized/single insurer cover healthcare those many millions who are currently uncovered, and those millions more who are inadequately covered. It will do so at a lower cost per person than our current, unbalanced, skewed, extremely inefficient methods.
The ONLY capitalist beneficiaries of the current US healthcare 'system' are those who are reaping profits: insurers and pharamceuticals and other supliers who over charge and cherrypick clients and under service those who they do serve.
And those are the powers that are funding and pushing the hard resistance to a nationalized/socialized/single payer system.
It will ruin their gig, but will help the nation's citizens and employers.
It will hurt only only that small segment of capitalists, those who have been getting rich off of a lousy healthcare system,
but it will aid, perhaps save from bankrupcy, every other small business and large business, every employer in this country who now struggles and suffers under the weight of the current expensive yet crappy system.
I think there needs to be a debate about it, not a short stuff it through the legislature, but a real debate. To air ideas and to air allegiances.
Let the opposition reveal who owns them.
The Dems are impatient, and are doing the Republicans a favor by sparing them the political embarassment of a lengthy open debate.
