Doctors, corporate hospitals, drug companies and home heath providers are some of the most profitable and riches people in this country.
Nothing is said about the inflated “High Cost” of medical care. Social Security is being robbed blind by fraud and abuse by the Medical Industry. Insurance companies and individuals are paying extreme prices for simple care.
If just 10% of the complaints about the high cost of Gasoline was raise concerning the High Cost of medical expense instead of looking for a different way to fund it the US would not need a “Health Care Program”.
The solution is not to find a new way to fund it but cut the cost in it. Just stopping the fraud and abuse would put a major dent in it.

    They already predict that medicare will be gone in a few years,followed closely later by social security,if they can’t salvage what we already have,how in the world are they going to pay for health care that will include every person in this country,including illegals that are coming by the truckloads across from mexico for the free health care? the errosion of the middle class workers who were the backbone of this country will make it harder,since that’s where most of the taxes come from

    If the reigns were put on the insurance companies and the pharmaceuticals and you put hospitals in the ‘not for profit’ category and capped lawsuits while ditching frivolous ones (doctors biggest expense is malpractice ins). The change would be affordable and access able healthcare, and no ‘handouts’ necessary.

    I feel we need a safety net against catastrophic illness and injury, I don’t like insurance companies making life and death decisions, and allowing for death just because it cuts into their bottom line. At least a voucher system should be considered for the uninsured, even some Republicans favor it, then it’s an individual responsibility thing like they want to see, that allows the private health infrastructure to be largely left untouched.
    Those who want the status quo or the largely privatized system we currently, consider this, in the last 4 years the number of uninsured has jumped from 45 to 50 million out of a population of 300 million, still lots of people and the highest number of uninsured people of any part of the world, businesses don’t necessarily have an obligation to provide helth insurance, and most places have gone from providing it free of charge to deducting a good chunk of your salary, and individual health insurance is even costlier and you have no bargaining power as a consumer than you do as a policyholder in a corporate health plan, I don’t like this trend. The government is also unwilling to negotiate costs with hospitals and insurers like it does for it’s employees and elected officials, specially in the case of medications- countries in Europe like Switzerland do this and pharmaceutical firms in Switzerland still thrive and Doctors still make money, another problem is the unwillingness of our Government to reform the patent system, it does not work well for pharmaceutical companies, who have 10 years from the time they have a drug in the drawing board the years it takes to develop and make safe takes up most of those 10 years, and that is one reason they have to charge what they charge, and sometimes to product liablity suits where people taking these meds get hurt or die, new drugs should come to market when they are ready not per some unworkable time line.
    Also I don’t feel it’s bleeding heart liberal thinking, who among us, would not want our lives to be saved without impediments to healtcare access in the moment it is required or becomes critical.

    well i can tell u that the government doesn’t need to step in the government cant do anything right they will just make it worse.
    I think insurance company’s need to stop paying so much cause they Dr’s can name their price and insurance Will pay, it think we need to get rid of the insurance company’s and make people pay their own heathcare, then DRS will be forced to lower the prices.
