You can't take what your side dishes out? Tuff. Come back with real stats, and then we can see.
Once again your response is devoid of any statistical facts or evidence that supports an idea that you blindly and fervently support. Here are my apprehensions with universal healthcare. This great country that you and I live in gives us privilege of freedom, the freedom that millions have died for. This universal healthcare package, the public option if you must, is a step in the opposite direction. It is one large step towards socialism. Government control is exactly what we must avoid to keep our freedoms and liberty. If you are such a supporter of a socialist agenda, go live in china or cuba. Socialism strives to make all people equal. People that work their ass off to earn their living and people that milk the welfare system are apparently equals, should be treated like equals, and apparently earn the same amount of money. Monetary redistribution is no so far away as some might think. Already, the top tax bracket in America pays just under 50% of their entire income to taxes. Think about that. Every dollar you make you only get 50 cents. Granted every citizen should be required to contribute to their country and fund certain programs. But it is quite evident that the government has taken that too far.
Now lets get back to this universal healthcare proposal that you love jerking off too. Let's not rush across the atlantic and look at european systems of healthcare, but lets see how our government has already handle it. Ever been to Massachusetts? Spending for the Commonwealth Care subsidized program has doubled, from $630 million in 2007 to an estimated $1.3 billion for 2009, which is not sustainable. By the fall of 2008, access and affordability had eroded. There werent enough physicians willing to taking care of the newly insured. Twenty percent of adults said that in the last 12 months they had been told that a clinic or doctors office was not accepting new patients. Universal Healthcare was supposed to cater to those who were unable to get insurance. Interestingly enough, in Massachusetts, 29 percent of low-income adults compared to 15 percent of high-income adults had trouble finding a healthcare provider. Also, 32 percent of those with public coverage compared to 16 percent with private coverage had trouble finding a healthcare provider.
Lets move on to everyone's favorite example.....O Canada.....how lame is your system of healthcare? Ready, Ready, Ready.....most of their citizens purchase supplemental health insurance. What? If their health insurance is so great why do they need supplemental health insurance. And why do they come to get major surgery and consultations done in the US. Why must they come to non socialist america, because they can't get treated. The average waiting time between a referral from a general practitioner to treatment went up to 17.7 weeks in 2003. Additionally, there aren't enough physicians to treat all of the newly insured, the same as in Massachusetts.
Well this would be such an easy fix if there would be more doctors. HAHAHA this gets me laughing every time. Some doctors pay over 100,000 dollars for medical malpractice insurance. When 300 doctors were asked if they ordered unnecessary procedures as a defensive measure, 77.9 percent admitted to doing at least once. Doctors are no longer treating patient due to their symptoms, but because they are scared they are going to be sued for not doing a completely pointless test.
And lastly, the right to healthcare insurance (thanks for pointing that out politicachic) is not a privilege it is a right. No one can demand that someone provide a service, that is theft. What if you had to do whatever you do at work for free. bullshit. there is no mention to the right of health insurance in the constitution. once everything becomes a right and not a privilege we have officially become a socialized country. society has to stop whining, and start working harder. america is heading for destruction and we need to turn it around.
