If anything they should keep the social programs and cut the military. I would be in support of a government take over of health care completely. The government should assume control of all drug companies. There shouldn't be profit in human health services. I wonder why USA healthcare system sucks so bad and is so overpriced? Seems like the "free" market doesn't do shit when it comes to health care costs. USA has one of the highest health care costs out of any nation with a shitload of people that can't afford basic dental and health care. I view the health industry in the same light as the cable companies in USA. Monopoly/Oligopoly system that screws over the consumer.
Some might be like oh why you calling for complete government take over of health care? It will just turn out to be shitty, blah blah blah.... Guess what? I haven't been to a doctor in over a decade (besides my appendectomy which I paid for the surgeon, MRI, pathologist but not hospital stay which was 20k for one night)... Health insurance is way too overpriced in USA.
Explain to me how after paying for surgeon, MRI, pathologist the bill still comes out to 20k for a one night stay in a hospital after an appendectomy.

i would prefer it if we went back to the usa model of the 1950s and before. When health insurance barely existed. Hospitals competed with each other. The other day I paid $3000 for a peice of tape on my toe and it took 3 hours (still cheaper than buying insurance). Before insurance took over the market, the cost for the tape would have been maybe $50-$200 which goes to the doc for his expertise.

That 20k was written off as a tax credit (if not I would have fought it). So you can thank me for being part of the problem... At least I (with my parents help) paid the other smaller bills.
