Are any political candidates for 2008 supporting a free or government funded health care system?

Question

I can't find any information on this. The main stream candidates aren't supporting it and I'm just wondering if there are any candidates who are.

Hilary and Obama do not support a government supported health care system. Read their sites.

And I get that it's not free-- I'm not an idiot--

And I suggest you see Sicko, by Michael Moore, if you think that Universal Health care systems don't work. England, France, and CUBA all have universal health care systems that work and have been working for decades. The US is 25th in the world when it comes to health care systems. Don't be mislead by our politians or the media...

Answer 1

Dennis Kucinich is for a Single Payer Universal Health Care Sytem that provides coverage for ALL Americans!

Answer 2

Where in the constitution does it say the government should provide free health care? Since upholding the constitution is part of the oath of office, anyone committing to that kind of blatant disregard for the law of the land should be automatically disqualified for the office. The fact that there are people out there that would vote for a candidate that supports this type of anarchy are the main reason that the constitution does not give any citizen the right to vote for president.

Answer 3

All the major candidates - Republican and Democrat - have places on their websites which talk about their proposals for healthcare reform. For a consolidation of information and links, see: http://www.lowcosthealth4u.blogspot.com.

I think there is some confusion on what is meant by "universal" health care. My understanding of the term refers to the abolishment of state-mandated or employer-based systems, in favor of one governmental standard insurance policy which is required of all citizens.

Therefore, if you read that a candidate supports state initiatives at health care reform, this would indicate that the candidate is not proposing "universal" health care solution.

Read carefully...Hillary makes no mention of honoring states efforts at health care reform. There is a big statement about her policy in that omission! Health coverage would also be required, rather than offered. Another big statement.

Obama differentiates himself by talking about honoring state-initiated health care reform. He also stops short of mandating a government-sponsored health plan. This is very important to the discussion.

No Republican supports universal health care, but you might be surprised that several candidates have thoughtful and solid proposals to the issue. Read all the major candidates stands on the issue for yourself.

Answer 4

Actually none of the candidates are actually supporting a free health care program and most health care is already government funded or subsidized

Answer 5

only a silly individual could ever think of that wellbeing care is unfastened. no longer something is unfastened. wellbeing care isn't unfastened even in a rustic the place a citizen can circulate in and characteristic surgical technique and not be billed. The society has only deciced it needs its wellbeing care paid for in a distinctive way. They dont view the wellbeing of a individual individual as some thing that's only his situation..they dont view the cost of wellbeing care as a individual's responsiblity on my own...those societies only say that wellbeing is such an important element that its a shared social responsibily and society generally anties as much as pay for it. You ask while will wellbeing care be unfastened in u . s .? by no potential. while will it grow to be greater of a shared duty the place persons are no longer afraid to circulate see a doctor to discover why they do no longer seem to be feeling good using fact the cost is so severe?...properly, with any luck quickly. while will human beings no longer could desire to record own financial disaster using fact they spent 5 days interior the wellbeing facility? while will a woman no longer could desire to fork over $5,000 to have a baby? with any luck quickly. I say with any luck, yet i'm no longer confident. i think of the u . s . is an exceedingly unique country the place the human beings who make money and run enterprise have lots administration over the government, that its stressful to think of them ever allowing certainly one of those element to take place as medicare for all or wide-unfold wellbeing care.

Answer 6

All Democrats have some sort of health care reform in their agenda. Edwards and Clinton have some of the most universal coverage plans.

Their web sites have position papers which you can read.

Answer 7

Let Hillary get in there. She will take your money and everybody else's and give free socialized communist health insurance (which is not worth a damn) to everyone and be praised for it like she is a god. I have no health insurance but I surely don't want free insurance if it means we turn into a communist country. We are almost there now because people are blind.

Answer 8

There is no such thing.

Hillary is supporting Universal Health Insurance.

Answer 9

Nothing is Free.... Do you mean free for you?

Why would it be in my interest to show you where to find information on who would have me pay for your wants?

If you do not want to appear an idiot, why don't you reframe the question?
