As Moore said in his interview with Jon Stewart.... "What if we allowed the fire department to be run the way private health care is run? 'you're putting out too many house fires.... you have to cut down'" >I certainly wouldn't want our government to run our >health organizations the same way they run our >schools. You will get a whole new set of problems. > >> How to pay for expanded government medical coverage >>is very simple, government does not pay corporate >>executives as much as a billion dollars a year, >>eliminating the overpaid business crook will save >>enough money to cover millions, if not tens of >>millions of people. Put price controls on drugs and >>medical equipment like every free democratic country >>has, and that will cover just about everyone else, and >>we will probably save money on the deal. I believe >>america's drug bill is something like 200 billion >>dollars, if we paid the same prices canada and europe >>pays, we would save over 100 billion dollars, that's a >>huge number of insurance policies! >> >> Not only do other countries cover all their >>citizens, they also pay much less for it, because we >>overpay our business crooks for private health care. >>Let government run our health care system instead of >>wall $treet, and it will be much better and less >>expensive. >> >>>I'm retired, but still 6 years away from medicare. As >>>far as workable plan they should just expand medicare >>>to cover all ages in my experience, but you still >need >>>to figure out how to pay for it without destroying >the >>>existing program. Capitalism is what it is and it's >>>not going away in our lifetime. >>> >>>> >>>>Duncan, there has been a workable plan all along the >>>>way. And I'm set to retire soon but who knows, eh? >>>lol [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
