I am beginning to wonder if old and BAC are the same person.
what incentive will health care providers, drug companies have to improve, innovate, excel?
or don’t you care about that?

Even if it meant your health insurance would go away?
do you remember (or did they dare teach you) what “USSR” stands for?

show us where health care in other countries is better than the US
i really want to know. i might want to go there if (when) i have health issues
Precisely what I’m afraid of.
Money wise. Let’s say I pay $800 a month in taxes and $1,200 a month in health insurance.
If my taxes go up to $1,500 a month but I don’t have to pay health insurance, do I not win?
We’re already paying for those who can’t or won’t.
It also has an effect of increasing worker mobility and would likely cause wages to rise.
If someone isn’t tied to a particular job for health care, then the labor marketplace becomes more competitive.
No. What will happen is taxes will eventually be over $2000 a month, people will bee screaming to reduce expenses, hospitals will be either closed or not built, and doctors will leave the profession. There already was another thread where the Canuks were complaining about a shortage of new hospital construction.
They think people dont need incentives. They simply need to be programmed.

So if the people who can’t pay for health care are getting health care, and those that can pay for health care are getting health care, why ■■■■ up a system that is working.
There was a parable about a goose that provided wealth that may apply here.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the people discover they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the canidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy–to be followed by a dictatorship.

Hmm, I find it hard to believe that you are unaware of the massive number of bankruptcies due to medical costs.
Do you also think poor people are reviving cancer treatments? Not anecdotally, but as a group? Or that they can afford expensive drugs?

Hospitals are closing down here too, notably those serving small towns and rural areas. That’s capitalism. Do you have a problem with that?

Rural hospitals are closing a fast rate in this country under the system that we have.
Free market medical services guarantee that resources are concentrated where the most people are, leaving more sparsely populated areas in the cold.
This young upstart out of LEFT field really does seem to have some Righties scared, confused, worried, and having them sharpening up their pitchforks and soaking their torches.

That must explain all of those Scandinavian dictators.
Not in the least.
