But to discuss your point about the conservatives wanting the best and just needing the opportunity to earn it. Do you not think that my second idea would go someway to counteract that problem? I mean obviously it wouldn't be perfect for many reasons, but you would be recieving the best service available without going private based on what you earn, which in some way would be rewarding to the same end. |
I don't like the idea of two people being sick, and the one you treat is the one who paid more. In the US, they all get treatment right away. All health insurance protects is your financial stability, not your health.
They system your talking about limits the care a sick person would get, based on economic status. I like the imperfect system we have now.
If I was poor, I would rather live, and be in financial ruin, then dead with no debt.
If I was in a position to fix healthcare, I would make a lot of changes to our system, but I would not make it a government plan. What we have today is broken. What Congress is suggesting, is all the same broken parts, with more of it broken. That does not seem like the right direction to me.
