All Dem candidates will repeal wealthy tax cut.
While Obamacare isn't perfect, he tried to do something. Reps have done nothing. Health insurance and prescription drug costs are breaking the middle class.
I agree but you won't like the solution..almost nobody does it's to distasteful. I work for a hospital so got some insight and see this first hand. First Insurance Co. make a crap ton of profit, which is good and bad. But that is their purpose. And at one time Insurance companies could provide a BENEFIT and offer cheap and affordable healthcare.
But along came the Gov. offering their version of Insurance..medicaid and Medicare....which doesn't pay out enough to cover the Cost HMMMM so the hospitals started charging those who can pay Insurance Co. with outrages prices to cover the gov. shortfall or the non-pay that can't be refused..... a single Tylenol is 20$, a simple Xray is thousands, a toothbrush is 10$ and on and on....Of course Doctors,Administrators,Nurses, etc. all make a pretty good salary as well and this all adds up.
So in response to the Hospital Price gouging of the working Tax payers who also pay the premiums,co-pay's, deductibles etc. the Insurance CO. started inflating all those to maintain a profit margin that is acceptable.
See the issue is those who are not producing and paying their fair share. Now I'm not talking about the Blind,Mentally handicapped, or those in wheel chairs etc. I think almost everyone is willing to pony up some for them ...Nope I'm talking about the legions of shiftless poor who abuse and use the system for things that the rest of us workers would never dream of using it for because it COST us money.
Take away the access for the Leaches and the system reboots and Private Healthcare Insurance is back on track.
The reality is that their should be two Hospital system's....the Free gov. system with bargain basement care..and Private for pay hospital system for those of us who shell out taxes for the Gov. system and pay premiums for our healthcare. We should get the cutting edge care....they not at all.
Free Healthcare isn't a right...No where in our constitution does it talk about getting access to or payed for free healthcare. It's a service that is paid for simple as that.
A person level of care should be based on their ability to pay. Not unlike what type of car you can afford is based income, or what type of Vacation destination is affordable.
