| TheRealMafoo said: It's not Universal. This healthcare program is not expected to support everyone, only those without insurance. The problem is, that means those with private insurance will be paying for insurance twice. I would expect millions of people to drop private insurance, and just take the insurance they are already paying for from the government. I don't think the government can then afford it. Thoughts? |
First of all, the people behind the healthcare plan realize this.
Secondly, you already pay for other people's health insurance anyway. Hospitals dont turn people down for life-threatening illnesses, its not only unethical but it would also mean a hefty lawsuit. Instead, hospitals treat the patient and send them a bill in the mail that they know wont be paid. So who pays for it? You do, and you have been paying for other people's health insurance for a long time. Be it a public hospital that takes more money from tax payers or a private hospital that increases the costs for everyone else.
So Mafoo's opinon on this issue is useless. His noble quest not to pay for other people's healthcare has already failed. He's just arguing over how he will pay for other people's insurance.
