A just govenment should provide health care to it citizens?

Answer 1

A just government should prevent the legal system from making the cost of medical care more than people can afford.

Answer 2

We already provide health care, but unfair across the board!

While middle men HMO presidents make 12 million a year and deny benefits so their stock holders make money, all off the insured's backs, is all money NOT spent on health care!!

People think the poor are an issue, and they are as they get no preventative health care! However, primary care physicians constantly send the insured, and their clients, to ER'S!! They don't work weekends!

Poor medical care is the cause for medical malpractice, and their are so many layers you have to hurdle to even get to a suit, including being allowed to sue by a board comprised of Md's, that peoples trying to blame lawyers and victims is asinine! A standard Republican myth! Even if a person does win, they are usually dead before they get any money, and that is after the judge has knocked down the award you saw in the paper to almost nothing!

You really think that an MD who removes the wrong leg, or the only good kidney should not be sued? If you don't you are a sick person!

And then there is the drug companies and their $25.00 a pill medication! The same that some others are paying $4.00 for a 3 month supply!

We can give corporations large amounts of money, what is wrong with providing health care that in the long run is going to decrease the cost as people will get regular care, not having to wait until they are almost dead!

Answer 3

A Socialist or Communist Government are the types of Governments that do this. There are restriction on your liberties for Communism and in Socialism the taxes are astronomical and will financially topple the Government. France in the 1950's.

I think setting our Medical Care System up like Feudalism.

Where the employers are responsible for the health of their employee es and the expense comes out of the wages. use the Government as it is now to regulate the businesses and who the contract to care for their people. Smaller hospitals and clinics for mind range to small businesses could be established as well through a Board Regulated Co-Op. This remove the tax burden but give health care to those who work. Self employed and independently wealthy people could get their health care by buying a membership to a corporate or board run system.

Plato discusses in The Republic the responsibility of Government and of it's citizens. Democracy is only as good as the people it represents.

A just Government should be defending the citizens, regulating commerce, and collecting taxes for those purposes only. No pork barrel projects that don't contribute to anything. No propping up of failed States, let the States that are run well absorb the one that are not.(Louisiana, easily the most mishandled State in the US, I think they are nearly on the bottom of every category.)

Answer 4

I don't know about a "Just" government one way or the other.
But a rich nation as ours (USA) can and should help those, who through no fault of their own or because of age, are on the lower end of the economic ladder. Why? For selfish reasons, of course: What would happen if there were only two segments in our society, the very rich and those with little or nothing?
Man, I think you're "talking" revolution: In which case WE ALL LOSE: rich and poor alike.

Answer 5

No. A socialist or communist government should provide health care. We are neither. Take some personal responsibility.

Answer 6

Precisely. And since our government hasn't done so, can we safely conclude that they are not on our side?
