Question

if you subsidize something, you get more of it.---ron paul

um, bushmale, the premiums will still have to be paid by the government, meaning higher taxes when the premiums go up. nobody is saying the insurance will simply offer free health insurance. someone will pay for it.

pell grant is how education was subsidized. thank you.

ron paul is a doctor. i would say he understand health care problems more than any of us or any one else in washinton

Answer 1

No. It's *FREE*, remember? At least that's what the extreme left will tell you. LOL


Whoops, forgot about those tax increases, but ONLY the top wage earners will receive those (just like over in Europe). Yeah, right. I have ocean front property for sale in Arizona.

Answer 2

No, insurance premiums will disappear under socialized medicine. Under socialized medicine, TAXES will go through the roof. For that reason, socialized medicine, at least as practiced in much of Europe and Canada, will not happen in the US.

A much more likely scenario will be Universal Healthcare, probably similar to the system in Germany. Under UH, insurance will be mandatory and insurance companies will not be allowed to "cherry pick" the lowest risk customers. This will force insurance to do what it was intended to do in the first place, i.e. share the risk. Healthcare providers will receive incentives to keep their patients healthy in the first place instead of ordering racks of unnecessary tests. This will help stabilize costs and ensure ready access to needed healthcare for all citizens.

Answer 3

There are no premiums because it's financed through taxes. Premiums would fall to zero.

[ The U.S. spends twice as much as other industrialized nations on health care, $7,129 per capita. Yet our system performs poorly in comparison and still leaves 46 million without health coverage and millions more inadequately covered.

This is because private insurance bureaucracy and paperwork consume one-third (31 percent) of every health care dollar. Streamlining payment though a single nonprofit payer would save more than $350 billion per year, enough to provide comprehensive, high-quality coverage for all Americans. ] 1

Ron Paul's comment is absurd when applied to health-care. If a cardio-vascular surgeon puts a sign in his window that says, "Buy One Heart-bypass, Get One Free (Limit 4)," how many people will take advantage of that subsidy? That's right- ZERO! Health-care is not a normal good. It is almost perfectly inelastic (changes in price don't have an effect on demand, only changes in health).

Answer 4

Under socialized medicine costs will go through the roof when everybody runs to the doctor for every runny nose or hangnail. After all it's "free" And after taxes to pay for this free healthcare also go through the roof, the Governement will inevitably start putting caps on healthcare. Fewer tests, fewer exams, longer waits for appointments, cutbacks on elective surgery and on and on ----- what a wonderful future to look forward to with Hillary Care.

Answer 5

it may paintings, or it won't. interior the present state of the U. S., it probable is merely not funded nicely, nor do any solid. i've got faith human beings could pay for scientific therapy. as much as they could have the money for of direction, and the government could help whilst in %. funds is an incentive to do extra powerful, because of the fact socialized drugs won't create lots of a rigidity to do extra powerful paintings. Why paintings two times as not elementary for the comparable pay? i assume it fairly is going to likely be equivalent pay. i've got not got problems with enormous businesses. They do what they do for drugs, even with the shown fact that "evil" or "corrupt". however the insurance firms are bastards. i will see how many human beings misinform get loose drugs, yet denying charge to help save a man or woman's life is in elementary terms a terrible concept. the present device looks to paintings. i don't understand what it feels % to be interior the decrease end of the device, yet i will comprehend how crappy it would be. till then, i can't help or boycott socialized healthcare. % extra perspectives.

Answer 6

do you have any facts about the educational costs going up when they were socialized? when was that anyway? I've never heard of this before?

and are you talking about overall cost... or per pupil expenditure? that makes a big difference...

and also... socialized healthcare will cap/drop costs of procedures... which will probably drastically reduce costs...

EDIT: I was assuming you mean additional taxes, when you said premiums

EDIT2: is there a study somewhere that looks at the impact of pell grants? first I've heard of it?

Answer 7

yes. the government will make people who want private insurance pay for those who want public insurance.

the screwed up thing is
The reason cost is so high is because liberal judges and lawyers and stupid law suits.
The wont do the right thing and cap lawsuits but they will socailize it and remove lawsuits completely.

Answer 8

In Social medicine premuims wouldn't skyrocket...because there wouldn't be any premuims!!!

The gov't would control healthcare, and the gov't via taxes would pay the bill.

That is the way it is done in England, Canada...and most of the world.

Answer 9

Probably not since socialist health care will give people insurance!

Answer 10

Yes, especially with coverage of illegals.
