Ready to pay for rationed public healthcare?

Question

Say, if public healthcare costs $8,000 per person per year (and that's cheap), would you be willing to have $8,000 divided by 12 months = $666.66 deducted from your monthly income?

Remember, nothing is free. All Hillary is promising is to force you to pay for something government will control and ration. And for those of you who get your healthcare through your private jobs, do NOT think for an instance that when government forces you to pay for your own, that your employer will give you the money they are currently spending on your healthcare; this will NOT trickle down.

(And that number has lots of 6's in it, not just because of the math, but because of the nature of the individuals trying to force this upon us.)

Answer 1

Very very good point...People don't realize what she is trying to do. It all sounds good, but unless people like you get the word out, the country is uninformed.

Answer 2

As an economics professor of mine once proved, health care (and all goods) are already rationed. They are rationed by money. I have private health insurance, through my employer. That insurance plan decides what type of health care I can get and what I will have to pay for it out of my pocket. If there were a major procedure (especially an optional procedure) not covered by health insurance, I could not afford it (and my income is typical of most in the middle class) and, as such, can't get it.

Even if you go to a national health system, there will be some forms of health care (e.g. elective procedures) which will be outside the scope of the system. The question really is how do we want to ration necessary procedures. I for one do not trust my employer to make a better decision on what health care I should get than the government would.

Answer 3

How come countries like Canada, the UK, Hand been doing it for many years and there economy's are very solvent. People need to wake up to the fact the insurance lobby and the physicians lobby does NOT want health care for all Americans because it would cut into there profit margins considerably and the insurance companies such as blue cross would probably go the same way as the dinosaur.

Answer 4

Your number logic is all screwed up. Hillary is wrong. We need a universal health care plan that eliminates private insurance companies all together. Free healthcare.. Her plan will not work. Its too conservative.

So you say that will increase your taxes. Well I say its immoral for private investors and corporations to make money off of peoples illness, and if we put major planning into, we could come up with the best affordable health-care program in the world, but we have to eliminate the profit motive.

So you say that would be socialism.. So I say according to you we should charge for police and fire services and check our library books out at Blockbuster. Those are socialistic programs as well.

Answer 5

Healthcare is too indiviualized to be handled at the federal level, how can a one size fits 300 million plan, fit individuals who's health needs are unique.

Answer 6

we already pay the highest amount for 2nd rate care , approximatly 30% of our health care money goes to paying share holder dividens and big fat CEOs multi million dollar salaries . Stop drinking the kool aid , its the insurence companies trying to protect thier profits that your defending

Answer 7

I strongly suggest you actually read Hillary's health plan. Massachusetts has already implemented a plan like it. They haven't gone under.

I have a strong feeling that you would fine yourself wrong if you actually studied the subject first.

Answer 8

lol

the wacky and bizarre way you americans attack the notion of universal health care never ceases to amaze me.
