What is Universal Health Care.
Nobody gives me the same answer.
basic well being
yea except that has nothing to do with health care....how long you live depends a lot on your life style....you can have Dr Crusher from the Enterprise as your Dr. if you dont follow her advice about how smoking and your eating habits are killing you....what good was it?...
or you could step off a curb & get hit by a bus.
i was answering the part about after the fact. no healthcare = less than adequate chances for a favorable outcome.
Define basic well being.
How will you know when you have it ?
when simple well being visits are 100% covered to catch something early b4 it turns into a more debilitating disease or condition. sounds like what true conservatism used to be. AND it sounds like a mandate already covered by the ACA. something that donny wants taken away - with nothing absolutely nothing to replace it.
Preventative care, costs more money, than treating people when they have a problem.
Because you don't know who is going to get an illness, and who won't. The cost to provide $1,000 worth or preventative medicine to everyone, is always more expensive, than paying nothing, and just treating the person who gets ill.
This is why preventative medicine is rare in Europe and Canada, and elsewhere. The US has more preventative care, than anywhere else in the world... specifically because individual people pay for it.
Remember when Obama was president, and we had the ACA, and one of the things they tried to do, was reducing the recommended times for having breast cancer screenings? That wasn't random. When the government has to pay for it, the math doesn't add up. So they were reducing the recommendations to save money on health care.
