Yes, it is called market economics.
It would be better and more efficient if the gov't got of the way
Then again, perhaps you think after showing what a good job the gov't has done running Social Security into the ground, they "deserve" a chance at our health care now
I have full confidence that the politicians will do just "as well" in running it
So you're complaining about the idea of government provided healthcare not providing everything and anything any covered person might want, regardless of cost, regardless of need, regardless of effectiveness?
Are you willing to have your taxes raised to sufficiently pay for what it would cost for government healthcare to do all of that?
No
I am trying to show that "sales pitch" the left tries to use to sell health care is false and disingenuous.
All kind of markets have to make decisions about scarce resources. Nothing the gov't has ever done convinces me they will do it better
The left tries to create the illusion that we will get ALL the care we need unlike the "nasty" free market system which makes allocation decisions about your healthcare. Of course the left neglects to talk about that these are same decisions the gov't will have to do
Fair, equal doubtful
Does anyone really believe that the President (any) and politicians are going to get the same care as the masses?
We only need to look at how school vouchers are denied to poor kids to go to the very same school that the President's children go, to see this will not be the case.
Socialism does not make it better; it only spreads misery equally, except for the "inner party " members. The proletariat has no way to improve their situation
At least with a free market, one has the opportunity to improves one's "lot in life"
What will happen....
The best medical resources are drawn to the private sector and become even more out the reach of the middle class- Sort of what you see in the US with public and private schools
Remember,
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams chose to travel to the United States for heart surgery. He said "This was my heart, my choice and my health,"
Something that a lot of Canadians could not afford to do
