Health Care Solved! Are You Poor? Sorry. « SeaClearly
A single payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. How “reasonable” do you think a man or woman grossing $23,000 a year will consider it. Any chance they, or even husbands and wives grossing $34,000, might prefer health care – as provided – at no cost – as opposed to being required/mandated... “The whole reason for health insurance in the first place is to spread costs among as large a group of people as possible, so we all pay a reasonable amount for quality health care…. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care, cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. Health care through a Universal (Single-Payer) system will wonder where you discovered figures somehow making this “affordable,” since, to them, you are about to put so many on the street.

A so-called public plan option won’t touch the foundations of this dysfunctional, wasteful, multi-payer system of insurers. Instead we get a handful of grumpy questions focused on the dangers of a public plan pushing private insurance companies out of the marketplace. ” So, what do we as consumers and citizens get: not one question about why single-payer, Medicare-for-All, is excluded from the legislative debate and process. com/john-r-price/who-killed-obamas-health_b_229812.
