Democrats, what is your solutions to the health care crises, why?

Question

If you were appointed to a think tank, what would your reasons, solutions be?

stevedude256, You would be a good one to have in the think tank. I am Demarcate, but I fit in the middle on many issues and sometimes hard right and sometimes hard left. I supported the war in Iraq, many of my friends do not. It is ok to not agree with someone, but be able to debate it without insults. What I support here is a universal health care insurance [program, much like Blue cross Blue shield, there would be a co-pay for doctors and a co-pay for medicines, and the government would pay for most of it, and the insured would pay a co-pay there too, based on income. My friend, I am not anti- American, I would die for our country, but the notion that if people do not have health care is because they do not want it is wrong. I would love to debate you and others sometime, but a friendly debate, email me if anyone is interested. Thanks for answering my question

Answer 1

hire more filipino nurses.

Answer 2

I believe that out of the many many people who do not have health care, there are many who would qualify for some sort of care (be it BadgerCare or something like that) What we could do it get the information on these people, then find out which of the many low-income government-helping health care program they fit into, and then give them the forms to get in, the rest has to be up to the people, we can't make them fill the paperwork.

So that would still leave thousands without care. Our job would then be to find ways to fit them into already-existing programs. The programs we have are not cheap, we might as well make them work rather than making more.


Just a side note; Free Healthcare isn't free, if the government pays for it, then it's only free to people who don't pay taxes.


The big mistake that i see with Republican way of thinking is that they assume that everyone will just know where they fit in without being told, while the Democratic thinking people think that citizens don't know anything unless the government tells them . Reality is somewhere in the middle: People are smart, but they don't mind being told stuff once and a while.

Answer 3

I'm more interested in yours as apparently your ilk can't think! They can think that the head on Anthem should make $2 Million a year and a 12 Million dollar bonus with golden parachutes that we pay for! That is where health care money goes, but I bet you like that!

Answer 4

I would put the power back in the peoples hand, get out of bed with the HMOs and allow the people to get the services their doctors prescribe. I know this is unpopular but taxes would go up. Health care, under my plan, would be free. EVERYONE would have to pitch in but EVERYONE would be covered.
