Defeating the bogeyman of single payer healthcare

Do your homework as I have. It will be instructive for you to do so.

 

What's sad is you don't have a damn clue.

Where did you learn your "debating style" from? Rush? Jones? What right-wing blowhard are you trying to emulate?

 

Yeah, that right there is definitive proof that you're just parroting some pundit.

 

Still no curiosity ?? I could care less what you believe but it's much better to know the facts about what you believe instead of just going on faith. How are coming on your research into the health care costs per capita in the UK and Canada as compared to the US ??

 

Where did I say if you're sick, hurry up and die? I said if you're sick, you can't (and shouldn't be able to) buy health insurance in a free market system. I didn't say you shouldn't get treatment, I didn't say you shouldn't get into a state-run risk pool, I didn't say you should die. Your interpretation is faulty. We have a free market in life insurance, and if you have diabetes, insurance is either not available or very expensive. Why aren't you promoting single-payer life insurance? Could it be because not everyone wants or needs life insurance? Do you think it's possible not everyone wants or needs health insurance? Why do you think pregnancy isn't covered under most health insurance plans? Because something like 90% of women between 18 and 45 will get pregnant at some point. Would you cover a risk that was 90% likely to happen?

Hmmm... I wonder if that's what people want instead of health insurance, they want someone else to pay for their health care.

 

Prior to ObamaCare there were ~ 20 million people in the US who did not purchase health insurance and paid for their health care out of pocket. That is their personal choice and they paid their bills. Less than 3% of all health care in the US is not paid for - therefore provider rates and consequently premiums are ~ 3% higher.

 

Medical Bankruptcies were the Largest number of bankruptcies before the ACA

 

That's also fake news. Bankruptcies are always designated Medical when a medical bill is in play because the medical bill is the last to be paid. They can repossess your car or house but they can't put the appendix back in. Name someone who has declared medical bankruptcy.

 

No that's a fake post. Really you think medical bankruptcy is a rare occurrence?

If you're good enough to spin that BS you need to work for Trump!

Bankruptcies resulting from unpaid medical bills will affect nearly 2 million people this year—making health care the No. 1 cause of such filings, and outpacing bankruptcies due to credit-card bills or unpaid mortgages, according to new data. And even having health insurance doesn't buffer consumers against financial hardship.

 

Really? I've not seen a study comparing Medical Bankruptcy rates before and after the ACA. What have you got?

 

You mean during the worst of the recession?

 

Why ENCOURAGE anybody to finish high school? If we don't, and they don't, we should pay welfare, otherwise it will end up costing us a lot more. So we should just be satisfied with paying...

Its kind of like that.

 

That's absolutely fake news as I explained.

 

Here's more:

 

Single payer systems like those in Canada and the UK spend less on health care per capita because the gov rations health care spending. In the US health care consumers spend much more paid for by individual premiums. The difference and reasons for that difference are obvious.
