How is Hillary Clinton going to cover every american for 100-150 billion dollars when?

Question

medicare and medicaid total 710 Billion. Are the uninsured so cheap to care for?

I dont think the 710 billion is a lie.
330 Billion in medicaid in 2005, Medicare is about 3% of GDP and GDP is 13 trillion.
A lie is intentional misrepresentation of facts to cause someone to believe something.

Answer 1

There have to be some changes with how healthcare is provided. Take an ER visit. That can cost $1,000 to $1,500. People will use an ER for anything from a heart attack to the flu. What if we could direct the non life threatening to clinics which don't need access to MRI and complex lab facilities to a clinic just to deal with minor illen and injuries? A Nurse practitioner that can see a dozen ambulatory patients in a flu outbreak will move faster and cost less than that same dozen patients in an ER. It'll be thinking like this that'll drive the cost down.

Even then, 150 million will be a stretch. Especially at start up.

Answer 2

She will tell you what is covered and not covered. So, like the guy in Great Britain's great socialized medicine, he can not get the needed surgery to relieve the pain in his ankle caused by a previous surgery until he stops smoking. The medical group has determined that the guy must stop smoking first before he will be allowed to have the surgery to fix the problem the same doctors created with a botched surgery the first time.

That's the way that Hillary will keep the costs down. You women will no longer be given that epidural when having a child. You will have to deliver naturally or have an abortion. And the government will pay for an abortion first because it is cheaper than child birth.

Think of healthcare under Hillary like the Borg, you will be assimilated.

Answer 3

She can not. Plus she expects a extended removal of equipment and personnel from Iraq (ABC Debates). Housing with the mortgage crisis, an unstable market at best, Social Security teeters, the list is endless. No more Alan Greenspan to alter the Fed for her.

Lip service. Bill gets it she gives it. Funny how the two do so much apart. .

If she followed models of European Nations with success in this area a 10 to 12% tax for across the board healthcare has worked. Revise the core systems that are sucking monies for profit margin like drug companies for one, malpractice insurance problems, doctor fees and hospitals padding expenses... start here and work on how to cut cost then spend. Thank you.

*where exactly will the violators of this policy go? Jail? and the cost of that would be?

Answer 4

That's easy, if you study the issue. Start with sunsetting the tax cuts on the upper 2% of wage earners. Then incorporate insurance company transparency and competition, which does not exist today, including purchasability across state lines. Continue with transparent reporting of quality measures and achievement in hospitals, which is crucial and is integrally linked with cost reduction.

Voila! A viable, affordable way to ensure that everyone has access to healthcare and health insurance, whether through public or private mechanisms!

Answer 5

If National Health Care is good enough for the citizens of Israel, then it should be good enough for American citizens.
American tax payers give more money to Israel than any other country...maybe that should stop until American citizens have the same benefits.
As to the cost figures, I like an earlier answer, "Canadian Health Care for 30 Million costs 19 billion a year so per person an average of 633$." Import some Canadian doctors.

Answer 6

i could fairly see 10 billion funds pass to preparation than pass to this conflict the place thousands and thousands upon thousands and thousands of dollars are unaccounted for. If this technique would properly be funded by ability of last tax loopholes and removing the countless Bush administration courses that are valueless (like "No baby left in the back of" and many others) I say decide for it. listed under are the countless significant factors in the back of this software: states could be able to apply the money flexibly to fulfill the needs of their interior of sight communities. they might serve youthful toddlers; develop instructors' salaries; supply added help and education for instructors or have interaction in different activities that strengthen and develop their pre-ok courses. develop instructor's salaries, now there is an theory. I see that a number of you do no longer fee preparation, perhaps because of the fact you haven't any longer experienced lots training (incredibly in case you detect it annoying to construct an entire sentence).

Answer 7

Canadian Health Care for 30 Million costs 19 billion a year so per person an average of 633$.

Answer 8

I have serious doubts that her estimates are even close to what the true costs would be. This certainly explains why the HMOs are throwing money at her campaign, doesn't it?

Here is what Neal Boortz had to say:

"Hillary's $110 billion a year will become $300 billion an year and more before her husband makes his next conquest."

Answer 9

I actually don't know until I actually see her report on this.

I can tell you one way though is that we end the war and we could pay for this in 3 months in comparison.

I don't agree with this actually BUT the money is easy to get if we can spend between 2-5Billion dollars in Iraq a day. This would be possible IF her figures were right and we ended the war (BUT I don't really think we can pay for the war with our growing trade deficits... we are currently borrowing to conduct this war).

(Michael H. has no idea what he is talking about...lol... I lived in London for years, the medical system does not work there like he says. I have known smokers who received minor surgeries. The crap people will say on here...lol)

Answer 10

How much are people spending on health insurance now?

You act like it's 100 billion to cover every American, when more likely it'll be something along the lines of what Romney did in MA, with people being required to have health insurance and the government subsidizing those who can't afford it, with the larger insurance pool bringing costs down for everybody.
