Healthcare isn't a business, it's peoples lives

Well, I see how government run insurance can get costly, however if the government was the one in charge of the health, people pay less per capita, and apparently the overall health is a lot better.

Also, over 40% of the households that are uninsured earn over 50k, and the current average is around 46k (give or take a few thusand, but definitely a few thusand under 50k from what I remember) for a family of 4.

 

Yeah.. which makes you wonder if it's really a cost issue... or a budgeting issue.

 

You are trying to use other countries as a basis without looking at the overall differences in countries.  Such an analysis is severly flawed.

 

 

Yes, some can choose that they don't want any insurance at all, very true. However, I doubt those people are in the majority, and even the bum on the street could tell you that being able to get teated when sick is the most important thing a person needs outside of food and shelter (in modern times at least). Either it's a cost issue, or an outight issue of stupidity. In which case I guess it's fine if they don't have insurance and die off, less stupid genes to run amok in society.
