Why did the Liberal Congress Try to Communize our Health Care System?

Question

People would have had private aand Government insurance and people aho had insurance would have to paid twice or just kept the Governmental insurance that was given out and that would have covered the entire middle class with sub-standard care.

Why would you want to destory the middle class?

Answer 1

Providing health care to ten million children with grants to states who would each manage their portion of the program is not "communizing" our health care system.

I will never understand the bar stool politics that can justify withholding health care from needy children while funding a war in Iraq that we were lied into. One month's revenues spent in Iraq would pay the five year increase for the SCHIP program.

How bout it neo cons....are you with us in improving the lives of our children or are you against us???? ROFL

Answer 2

right here interior the united kingdom we've the national well being provider. Many individuals have the improper thought than that's administered by making use of the government. this is not. that's barely financed by making use of the government. The NHS has its own board of governers who make sure how the funds are cut up up between each and every branch. while we bypass to well being midsection we don't could sign something earlier we are taken care of. therapy comes first above each and everything else. No costs to pay. If we want drugs it costs purely £7 ($10) for each batch of drugs which lasts approximately 4 weeks. in case you're unemployed then prescriptions are loose. this is been going for 60 years with few issues. the american healthcare plan is going to fee $a million Trillion over the subsequent 10 years. cut up that quantity between 200 Million individuals - this is not that a lot once you think of roughly it.

Answer 3

Well i dont know where you have been but the middle class is in turmoil. We dont make enough to pay bills and do hardly anything extra this compared with 60s and 70s is a sham . You used to be able to work and the wife stay at home and still go on vacation , but with inflation now it takes both working just to pay the bills and children are growing up without parental supervision mostly.

Anyways the price of healthcare has rose so high that some companies dont even offer it anymore or its so expensive some cant afford it. The theory is if the goverment takes over at least everybody would have some sort of health insurance. No, i dont agree with it either , just look at canada,s healthcare system. There are a lot of problems right now and we would be very lucky if we dont go into a recession. We do need to start worrying about the problems at home more often and a fairer system of goverment where one man cant pretty much take control.

Makes you wonder what wouldve happened if the confederates won. States govening themselfs and no big federal goverment . It has its good and bad problems i guess.

It's amazing that politicians who have never run a business and have no idea about health care want to convince people that they could do it better. Hillary is the biggest pusher for this and she had to follow a nurse around one day to figure out what she did for a living. She's incompetent in every thing she's done, so why would we even consider putting her in charge of our health?

To get an idea of how bad universal health care is, look at Cuba: people covered in flies dying in roach infested, filthy hospitals. Or the UK where people would rather pull out there own teeth than wait for dental care. They're encouraged to have babies at home because the hospitals can't help them. Or Canada where people are dying waiting in line for vital operations, and must flee to the US to get these operations and to give birth to babies.

Our system is bogged down with a lot of government regulations and needs some revamping, but handing it over to the government would put it back 400 years as is the case in these countries where health care is government run.

Sad, but true.

Answer 5

I would imagine they hear from many of their constituents who are in need of health care for chronic diseases that can't get insurance. Just because you have no need of it doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of people who do. 46 million people or 15% of the population does not have health insurance but make too much money for medicaid. Preexisting conditions prevent them from obtaining insurance.

It is a problem for a lot of people but I would like to see the congress have hearings on why health care costs so much in the first place rather than initiating universal health care. There are a lot of ways to deal with the problem other than that.

Answer 6

That's a good question. People tend to think by having governmental insurance, Americas would be happy and healthy, leaping through meadows in slow motion holding hands. Anytime the government has to take over anything and pay out for it means the quality goes down the tubes.

Thomas B there is healthcare for needy children funded by the government. There's healthcare for adults funded by the governement... for immigrants too. It's called welfare.

Answer 7

Our health care system was doing quite well until the Government started to foul it up in the 1960's.
ANYTHING the Government runs will be wasteful, overpriced, inefficient, and guaranteed to be poorly managed.
Only a TYRANT would demand confiscating an additional 20% of the nations economy to control the lives and welfare of its citizens.
Liberals are TYRANTS!

Answer 8

Maybe they are just trying to find a way to help people in the lower middle class like me who can only afford crappy coverage. Maybe it is to make sure that a woman who needs a hysterectomy but has a $4,750 deductible and no sick pay and is the sole provider for her daughter can actually get the help she needs. Maybe it is to help people like one of my customer's that has a son with cancer and can't afford the chemo he needs and is therefore going to die. We live in a great country but we need to do something about the dismal state of health care and it's overwhelming costs. I may not have the answers but I am quite aware of the downside of our current system. Those who have money and benefits couldn't care less about those who don't. They must view the working poor as undeserving. I can only speak for myself but I have cut my daughter off my insurance and put her on schip and cut my benefits by more than half (no dr visit coverage and no rx coverage at all-not to mention no dental and no eye dr) and yet my premiums have more than doubled in the last 9 years. Well my income surely has not risen at a comparable rate! Not to mention the"friend of the court" telling me that my case with my ex-husband is closed because he refuses to give any financial information to them! (I didn't realize that it was a voluntary option.) We need to do something! There are many of us trying our best but the system is way off track.
I guess my question would be the same-why is the government allowing the middle class to be destroyed?

Answer 9

Power. Control.

Answer 10

The ignorance about nationalized health care by those who have no experience or knowledge living where there is nationalized health care is pathetic and lame. I live in a democratic country where there is amazing, excellent nationalized health care at a reasonable cost. Everyone deserves such health care.
