Bad idea to not allow citizens to purchase health care across state lines.

Actually, that particular one is a pretty terrible idea. Before you push for Companies to be able to sell across state lines, you may want to devote a minute or two to wondering why every single credit card company is based in Delaware or Utah.

Once you understand that, you'll understand why selling policies across state lines is a bad idea.

the French system is similar enough to the U.S. model that reforms based on France's experience might work in America. The French can choose their doctors and see any specialist they want. Doctors in France, many of whom are self- employed, are free to prescribe any care they deem medically necessary. "The French approach suggests it is possible to solve the problem of financing universal coverage...[without] reorganizing the entire system," says Victor G. Rodwin, professor of health policy and management at New York University.

France also demonstrates that you can deliver stellar results with this mix of public and private financing. In a recent World Health Organization health-care ranking, France came in first, while the U.S. scored 37th, slightly better than Cuba and one notch above Slovenia. France's infant death rate is 3.9 per 1,000 live births, compared with 7 in the U.S., and average life expectancy is 79.4 years, two years more than in the U.S. The country has far more hospital beds and doctors per capita than America, and far lower rates of death from diabetes and heart disease. The difference in deaths from respiratory disease, an often preventable form of mortality, is particularly striking: 31.2 per 100,000 people in France, vs. 61.5 per 100,000 in the U.S.

That's not to say the French have solved all health-care riddles. Like every other nation, France is wrestling with runaway health-care inflation. That has led to some hefty tax hikes, and France is now considering U.S.-style health-maintenance organization tactics to rein in costs. Still, some 65% of French citizens express satisfaction with their system, compared with 40% of U.S. residents. And France spends just 10.7% of its gross domestic product on health care, while the U.S. lays out 16%, more than any other nation.

The French Lesson In Health Care

Would this be the same french system they're looking at privatizing because it is economically unsustainable?

You enjoy the embarrassment???? ​

 

[Bleeding Heart]

We have medicare, state welfare, medicaid, SSA, SSI, etc. paid for by "the government" that covers everyone without healthcare insurance, as well as subsidizing others who do have healthcare insurance.

As I understand it the Repubs want to keep these government programs and repeal the Obama plan. The Dem's on the other hand want to slowly do away with these outdated and costly plans and replace them with Obama-care. Seems logical. After all the government is spending billions with no hope of slowing the flow of our tax dollars.

I haven't heard the Repubs plans to lower the existing costs that we're already paying, like Obamacare does? Or did I miss that part?

Always looking for citizen pain that will nail the republican door shut, libs should let them end Obama care and set the 30 million people adrift again. Maybe they would vote in 2012.

Per usual... you confuse an opinion with fact

You continually use opinion to supposedly back up your whacko stances...

I will ignore your winger blogs just as I would ignore a paper written by John Wayne Gacy on child care

 

[Political Junky]

You may also want to keep the government out of the equation. Once they get their paws on it then it's a one way road to total control of everybody's lives.

Horseshit.

Every other industrialized nation in the world has national health insurance, and they pay HALF per capita what we pay for healthcare.

"With a John Boehner speakership fast approaching, I dutifully read up on the man. I learned he is a Midwestern fellow, born (like us all) into the virtuous lower middle class, one of 12 siblings and a man whose early career, in an unironic homage to "The Graduate," was in plastics. What I did not know - what was missing entirely from my reading - is that he might be French.

Or Japanese. Or Finnish or British or even German. Whatever the case, this much is clear: No American, certainly not one about to occupy a leadership position in our government, could possibly call the American health-care system "the best health care system in the world." Boehner did just that last week. He was having an out-of-country experience.

For statistical refutation, we need only refer to the CIA's World Factbook (no lefty think tank, to be sure) and check the health statistics. The United States is 49th in life expectancy. Our proud nation bests the Libyans in this category but not Japan, France, Spain, Britain or, of course, Italy. You not only live about two years longer in Italy, but you eat better, too.

Looking elsewhere - think tanks, etc. - Boehner might come across a category that health-care expert and former Post reporter T.R. Reid labels "avoidable mortality." Among the richest nations, the United States is 19th of 19. America is awful at treating asthma, diabetes and kidney disease. If you have any of these, it's just your bad luck that you're not Japanese or French . . . or, really, anything other than American. The United States does do well with breast and prostate cancer, but these are represented by politically potent lobbies. See, we can do better when we want to.

For Democrats, there's hope in Boehner's chirpy pronouncement. It shows a GOP out of touch with reality, a party of Marie Antoinettes, babbling total nonsense about health care. The same swing voters who used the election to hurt the Democrats might learn that America's health-care system is No. 1 only in health-related bankruptcies. It is best in the world only for the rich and the amply insured. Everyone else can crawl away, unseen by the next speaker of the House of Representatives - a jolly, detached fellow who thinks he lives in another country entirely."

Looks like 30 million Americans are headed into the dumpsters with the help of Republicans. Tsk!

Republicans said, "they would propose limiting the money and personnel available to the Internal Revenue Service, so the agency could not aggressively enforce provisions that require people to obtain health insurance and employers to help pay for it.

They plan to use spending bills to block federal insurance regulations to which they object. And they will try to limit access to government-subsidized private health plans that include coverage of abortion.

The House Republican whip, Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, described the strategy this way: “If all of Obamacare cannot be immediately repealed, then it is my intention to begin repealing it piece by piece, blocking funding for its implementation and blocking the issuance of the regulations necessary to implement it.”

Wait, the Republicans are going to "end health care for Americans?"

You mean they are going to shut down all hospitals and put all doctors out of business?

Because you do realize (I hope) that there is a HUGE difference between health care and insurance.

So, your title alone is fear mongering at it's worst. Aside from being wholly untrue. Either that you're your just a fool.

Yes, become the lil doggy in the car window and wag your head yes to 30 million Americans, ya little prick.

 

[Provocateur]

Didn't that include 17 million Mexicans? They are not American, contrary to the hopes of the left.

 

[Provocateur]

I like the dramatic title, however.

LOL @ "End health care"

Another shit thread... sweeeeet.

The Republican leadership can't even bring themselves to say the words, "Middle Class" and their base loves it.

Classes don't exist except in your derranged mind. We are all human. Equal before the law.
