Why cant the government see that life would be much better if we all had the same insurance?

Question

Everyone has the right to have insurance!

I do have a job...so does my husband..our jobs dont offer insurance.. health ins

Answer 1

I think it would be great if everyone was offered the same insurance, and were given the option to upgrade it at their own expense! I think it is so terrible that half my family and many more have to go without insurance because it is unaffordable.

Answer 2

Do you have ANY idea how much that would cost? I'm not sure if you are aware or not, but the federal deficit (not to mention the national debt) is already higher than we'll ever be able to pay off. The claim that "everyone has the right to have insurance" is true - and with that right comes the responsibility to pay for it yourself. This is America - if you want to be in a welfare state in which unemployment is sky-high and the cost of living is astronomical, move to Europe.

I suggest you take Econ 101 at your local community college before asking these sorts of questions in the future. Also, I don't see the right to Universal insurance written anywhere in the Constitution.

Answer 3

they {the goverment} would lose money! They the policians get {soft Money} for campaigns from the different companies... golf packages, trips, gifts etc... we the little people call it bribery.... we all have the right... the usa has enough $ they just need to quit sending it to all the foreign countries...Car insurance is just a scam to get $ out of us. as for medical........One insurance would work, as many doctors as we have we could make it. We wait in the waiting room already... the paper work would be easier

Answer 4

What kind of insurance? Health insurance, car insurance, property insurance, life insurance? You don't have a 'right' to insurance, it's a product, you buy it. If you can't afford it, well, sucks to be you...besides 'the government' is everyone ELSE, the people that have JOBS, and pay taxes, and stuff. Why should the rest of the country pay to insure your car, your health your life your house, etc? What's really going on, here? LOLOL

Answer 5

If you want to have the same insurance as ever one else, move to Canada. I hear there is only a 10 week waiting list to see the doctor.

Answer 6

Can you show me, in the Constitution, where the right to insurance is? There is no right to insurance. You can't be turned away at an ER if you don't have insurance, but again, it is not a right.

Answer 7

if we all had the same insurance is would be very very expensive.
and the quality would be really poor.

would you want to have canadian health care?
in canada you pay 80% of your earnings to the goverment. so think about having only 20% of your earnings to live on.
how would you like that?
just to have health care.
think about everything you buy. and give up 80% of that.


Do you also know in canada the hospitals are filled to the brink. ambulances pick up injured people, and have to drive from hospital to hospital. looking for a place to leave them.

Answer 8

Yes, everyone has the right to healthcare. But, if you ever look at countries that have socialized medicine it doesnt work out very well. I have many relative in Germany, which has socialized medicine, that come to the US for medical treatments. Socialized healthcare is a good idea, but never works in practice.

Answer 9

The constitution does not tell government to provide insurance for its' citizens.

Answer 10

too many people; too much money to change; not enough rich people to support the poor; or, if they'd increase taxes, the rich would leave the country; etc, etc,...
