Kill Profit In Health Care!!! I Agree with El Rushbo...on some level
Kill the profit in health care -- payments -- insurance. Rush has it backwards on some level (go figure), as he says people want to take the profit out of Doctors providing health care. and he further warps the minds of the wingers who believe the shit that dribbles from his lips. We can get rid of profit in many areas of health care.
Switzerland has.
We can try and tweak the Swiss model to fit an overall retooling of the American health care delivery and payment systems.
Why not? Switzerland is a Capitalist Democracy as we are.

... One of the problems we have in America is that many people -- it's a huge number of people -- go bankrupt because of medical bills; some studies say 700,000 people a year. How many people in Switzerland go bankrupt because of medical bills?
Nobody. Doesn't happen. It would be a huge scandal if it happens.
Output meaning the quality of care?
The quality. ... Somebody who lives in France, and who is very well-acquainted with the system, told me, "If I get ill, I would prefer to be in Switzerland rather than in France." Although France is a very good system, but probably the comfort is better in Switzerland. France was ahead of us not because of the quality of the services but because of the way premiumare paid.
The fairness?
The fairness notion. [We] consider that it is fair as we do it, but according to these criteria, this French public health system, [which] is paid through taxes, is more fair than the Swiss system, [in which] premiums are paid per head. You are rich or not rich, you pay the same premium according to your age, not according to your wealth. I think [this] system is very good, good quality. Most of the people are satisfied. It is one of the only systems in Europe which is not near bankrupt.
In other words, the premiums are paying the bills.
Yes. And if the costs increase, you increase the premiums. In countries [such] as France, where the financing of the system is through the public taxes, you have political decisions to take, and you wait from time to time, and so they have great deficits. In Switzerland, the system not only [has] no deficit, they have even reserves, provisions --
