Well. except that you incorrectly linked Romneycare and Obamacare.. but nice try
Let me check again...nope I sure didn't. But then again, you've abandoned trying to show examples of a healthcare system being successful and free of government involvement. So I know you're desperate to find some other point to try and "win". You go sluggger!
No.. I correctly showed that the CARE is just fine (we have the finest doctors, facilities, procedures, etc in the world).. it is the system of required insurance, hidden parts of insurance, not knowing charges because of insurance, etc etc that is the issue... because of the very government interference you call for, you have the problems and high costs in the system.. and you call for more government in the mix.. priceless.. this has all come about by the 'cover all' mentality brought to you by the government itself...
Bring back competition and OPENNESS to the charges, etc... THEN is when it becomes affordable.. not when you have more and more government, more and more taxation, more and more levels, more and more unknowns in the system...
One doctor in this area (who we are now getting on board with if we can avoid the ******* Obamacare mandates) has stopped taking insurance for basic care and offering something they call concierge subscription or something along those lines.. instead charging a small monthly fee that covers most everything but CATASTROPHIC issues... our neighbor WITHOUT insurance has been with him for a while and his small monthly fee covered the setting and casting of his son's broken leg which we all know would have been a huge cost in the huge hidden insurance scheme.. thousands of dollars funneled everywhere.. yet this was not the case in this system.. and the difference is?? The government mandates, involvement and the huge bullshit system we have in place..
Government in your healthcare system, and government healthcare itself is your problem.. not your solution
