i'm trying to find some help on healthcare facts and statistics, not only in the U.S., but in other countries as well. I'm debating a topic similar to the question in a couple of weeks so someone help a brother out!

well...i know for a fact in Korea....every person pays about a $40.00 premium a year...and a co payment of $5.00 ...You get a health card to show you have paid...even for the poor..they get assistance in payment....no problems going to see the doc...everyone gets the same treatment reguardless of who you are and what your status is....being the fact that everyone is taken care of...they have no reason to raise premiums because everyone is in pretty good health....But here in America we have our nose in so many things that we have to find the money ...so we take it from everyone....check on the Korean helth systems they are one facinating systems...i don't see why we all can't live that way....

You want to have the government involved in a new program. Show me one program the government has not screwed up.; Keep them out of health care. They have screwed up Medicare enough. Think what would happen if everyone was insured by the government. Your taxes would be out of sight because they wont cut some other program to pay for it.The Democrats love to create new things they think the people want but they don't know or care where the money to pay for it comes from. The Republicans try to pay as you go . They know us BIG BAD BUSINESS PEOPLE can only pay so many taxes be for we have to give up & lay people off.I love my workers But I am just about taxed out.

When people cannot afford a primary care physician, they go to the emergency room for acute non-life threatening situations. This puts an enormous strain on the system, and many do not pay their bills. They know the hospital cannot turn them away, and this has become a way to circumvent the system.

NO! People should take care of themselves and those that can't should seek help from their families. Privatizing as much as possible is the best way to do things. Government run operations tend to be slow, expensive and inefficient. All health care should be privatized, that way, you get better health care foe a more affordable price.

No, no and no. The government barely can make money without messing it up, you want them screwing with healthcare? As to providing cash for people that can't afford it, no, no and no.

Yes, but they're still skewering Hilliary Clinton with hot irons for trying. So the corporations are doing it.
