Why do a lot of people here seem to think that Hillary's plan for healthcare wouldn't be nationalized?

Question

She tried to pass this when her husband was president. She will be trying to pass it if she gets in. It sounds all great and happy and good, but the reality is we will wind up with a healthcare system like Canada or France. These people have had to wait 6 months or more to get prostate exams. The survival rate of prostate cancer in the USA right now, 88%. The survival rate of prostate cancer in France right now, 44%. This is only one example. Would it not be better to focus on our Insurance companies first? Just wondering.

Answer 1

I am opposed to Mrs. Clinton and socialized medicine. The main problems with health care in the US are state and federal government regulations. A large part of the expense goes to satisfying bureaucrats and their endless regulations.

Answer 2

Your facts are mistaken about the healthcare in France and Canada. Those are wivestales spread by people afraid of nationalized medicine. And if you check the stats, you'll see that people in both France and Canada have higher life expectancies than us Americans. That's because people go to the doctors more because it's much cheaper, and they catch problems much earlier.

You should check the stats to see I'm right. They live longer and grow taller. They also have lower infant mortality rates than us because prenatal care is much better.

I'm guessing you got your false figures from Rudy Giulani, and mistakenly said France for England. Either way the numbers are wrong. It's more like 74% in England although Giulani said 44% (his campaign made a math error).

Additionally, prostate cancer rates have decreased significantly in England. Prostate cancer survival at five years among men diagnosed during 1999-2003 in the UK was 74.4 per cent. This was 3.6 percentage points higher than the rate of 70.8 per cent for men diagnosed during 1998-2001. Much of this is likely to be due to increasingly widespread use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. We've simply been more agressive in getting the word out to get tested than in the UK, but they are approaching our rates quickly. For France, 5-year mortality rates have been decreasing about 3% every year for the same reason (more screening).

When it comes to health care, you should always fact-check ANYTHING a politician says (whether they be Democrat or Republican, because both parties have been captured by health care special interests)

Answer 3

You would still be able to get your choice of insurance or if you could not, it would be there. Not all Americans are rich and a family of four would have to pay a large amount for insurance and if he earns minimum wage, with the cost of living going up the past 8 years, there isn't much money left to live. Insurance companies are private and they have to make a profit, and that will be at our expense.

Answer 4

i do in comparison to Billary yet nationalized healthcare could make effective human beings have medical coverage , i think to a pair those this is solid. maximum civilized international places have it. Canada is in common terms one million occasion, damaging human beings die till now than wealthy human beings simply by fact they can't get preventative healthcare and customarily wait till a illness diabetes, cancers and so on. are way out of control till now they could get medical interest. there's a different want for it in this united states yet understanding how horrified it makes those with $$$, I doubt this is going to ever be instituted. In united statesa. the neocons and cons in common terms have self assurance in human beings procuring their very very own healthcare, so quite they have self assurance in case you do not have $$ for medical care, complicated cheese are not getting your shorts in a knot as i'm effective this is going to under no circumstances ensue

Answer 5

So you think that 44 million Americans that doesn’t have health insurance is better than having something?

You and all the ones who are against universal health system are poisoned by insurance corporations.
