Its weird that so much americans are against healthcare as its really a great system that makes sure everyone can afford high medical costs.You pay for others but that shouldnt be such a big deal cause you are securing yourself and your children for the future. |
Our government is too big and there are too many peopl for such a centralized and easily government abused system. if i can't trust the government not to single me out because of my views with extra scrutiny from the IRS how can i trust it with my health? Again i think people forget that there are over 300 million people in the US. These programs should be on a city, county, or state level. Don't confuse american dislike of the federal government with its dislike of all of these programs. There are rampant problems with massive beauracry because of so much intervention at the federal level. States need to take these rights back.

on the flip side, there are massive problems with having 50, 100, 3000 different systems depending on what state or metro area our county you live in. The IRS is a straw man argument. If you think it's bad for people to have their helthcare tied to their employment, how well do you think the system will work if people are tied to one city county or state? Each one different in some way or another, different rates co pays or deductibles, different eligabiliy, and each subject to it's own abuse or such strict criteria to stop abuse that peoples healthcare suffers. I don't know who would benefit from that. Now if there was a federal option competing with the privates I'd be all for it. The federal option would help keep the prices of the privates down, while the privates would for the federal to stay efficient.
