| highwaystar101 said: It occurs to me that conservatives have two main problems with national healthcare. The first is that a social system does not introduce an element of competition that the private sector which results in an inefficient service. The second is that the healthcare you recieve is equal to all other classes who wish to use it |
I am not a conservative, but I do think like them with respect to healthcare, so I think I will respond.
First off, neither of your points are the problem I have with healthcare. I don’t care about competition for the sake of competition, and in a perfect world, everyone would get the best heath care possible.
The goal everyone wants. Is US’s best healthcare (the best in the world) available to all. This is impossible. One of those two has to give. We can either sacrifice the quality of care, or sacrifice the ease in which it’s obtained.
Conservatives say I want the best healthcare, just give me the opportunity to earn it.
Liberals say I want the best healthcare that can be provided to all. It won’t be as good as the best, but if everyone gets it, it’s worth the sacrifice.
There is no way to make these two groups of people happy. So, the debate about socialization continues.
