Ok fine. Who’s going to regulate it on a national level?
What’s the alternative?
Nobody can pay for healthcare.
And pick up the bodies in the street?
Anything that doesn’t involve the government controlling the means of access or application.
“Need” doesn’t make it a federal program issue.
Don’t know.
My inability to provide a solution doesn’t justify making a government program a solution.
It’s simply not the purview of the government.

THIS is the game I despise the most with medical issues. A single payer system that covered everyone would address this. But I would not support that system coming from the federal government, nor would I support fedgov paying for it. It’s simply not the purview of the government.
What’s the alternative?
A single payer system can’t be effective any other way. It must be the government that implements and controls it.
Why anyone is ok with for profit healthcare is mind boggling to me

Norwegian style health care kick all the illegals out and set up a point based migration system that only allow taxpayers in to help fund it.
And pick up the bodies in the street?
No…,they will be home in their own,country. That’s what kicking out the illegals does.
there is no need for single payor health care. There is a need for the federal government to get out of it
the right to move. seemed to be what you were harping on about.

They are running the 14th Amendment ragged throwing anything up against the wall to see if it will stick.
lol. the 14th is a glorious amendment to prevent states from discriminating
against citizens.
following the equal protection clause is now part of the constitution.
if you dont like it repeal it.

It’s about citizenship. That’s about it.
There’s really no point in having this conversation so long as the left insists on open borders. You can have an expanded welfare state or scream that it’s racist to deport illegals, but not both.

Single Payer is “LEFTY! Eeeew no way!”
The current system of insurance tied to employment is a disaster. It’s crumbling.
What do you want (that’s feasible)?
Remember, the plan has to address the needs of most citizens.
You mean Obama didn’t fix it? And now you need ideas from Republicans?

There is no need for for profit healthcare.

Pre-existing condition? You can never move.
or change jobs
sure there is. without the profit motive there would be little or no advancement in healthcare. I/m sure some people have a calling to be doctors and nurses, but very few. And no-one has a calling to pharmacology. Its a business.

I like the idea of paying for superior care. You can go to the free clinic, if you want. Leave me out of it.
And we should stop trying to force others into a system they don’t want to join. Free markets advance faster…
I see a huge problem with how people use the emergency room as a doctors office visit. That exhaists the hospitals resources and takes time away from true emergencies.
Then there is the need to decrease the risk of lawsuits. Physicians order unnecessary tests based on being sued.
I would love to see more hsa. I would also love to see a cap on deductibles. All obamacare did was force those of ilus having a decent job to pay for thosr who cant or wont work.
