Good luck providing a world class health system without it. But if you're more comfortable beleiving the lies about the US health care system, go ahead. I have health insurance, I don't care. If I get sick, I know the quality of health care I will receive is top notch. |
Ahaha, me and my housemates (three nurses) were talking about this the other day. They said anybody that doesn't believe in national health is obviously.
A. Not over the age of 65.
B. do not have serious medical problems.
Both situations mean that you cannot work so you are to old or ill to earn money like the rest of the healthy population and because you are ill or more suseptable to disease then you have skyrocketing insurance costs. That coupled with having to have more trips to the hospital means that you have to spend A LOT of money and have no way to pay for all the checkups because they are expensive. Therefore the old and sick will get heavily into debt or have to forgo medical care.
Basically, they are f**ked and anyone in their situation will immediately support national health.
And you can't say that medicaid would help these people because that would just varify that national health does work.
so if you were Ill or old with expensive insurance or in a lot of debt due to private health, would you still support private health? I don't think so...
The people that said this see the same old and ill people walk through the doors of their hospital everyday, so I think they should know whats best due to first hand experience.
