If your poor, good news. The rich are paying your healthcare.

Ok so what do you guys think Obama should do ?

 

I saw this tv broadcast about poor US people who never saw a doctor or a dentist in their live.

They had to queue for 10 hours into a sport complex to have a chance to see a (free) specialist ...

 

What do we do with that ? Is this kind of things acceptable ?

Health insurance reform and free market.   Get the government out of it (they started the damn HMO's in the first place).

 

Our government fails at providing services...plain and simple.  Why in the world would I want them trying to provide me with healthcare?

Ok so private insurrances (I'm with that).

Regulated or not ?

I'd prefer as little regulation as possible.    Overregulating is part of our current problem.  Too much control and not enough freedom for the companies or consumer.

Yes but we are talking about healthcare insurrances... and I know that private companies (especially in insurance sector) are very good at trying to fool you and not paying you when they have to..

I'm not 100% confident in a pure private sector. I believe that a minimum as to come from the state.

People can put pressure on the state, not on companies... I don't want to see that my insurrance companies is closed, sent all the money abroad and that my sick son won't be treated...

I believe it is possible to get the best of both worlds combined, without harming public spending.

The reason for this is a lack of competition.  They can give you a nasty run around and you can't do a damn thing about it.  If it were a free market you could take your business elsehwere.   That's a very big incentive for an insurance company to straighten up and act right.

 

This is why I saw we haven't had a free market in a long time because there is no competition in the healthcare field.  Government has prevented it.  You don't hear the same horror stories with car insurance, do you?  Not even close.
