A short analysis of the prognosis of the effects of socialism on a country with a focus on healthcare!

When one half of the able bodied, decide to vote themselves a paycheck from the other half of able bodied; knowing that that other half will be forced using government power, to take care of them.

The next step is that the second half of the able bodied, realize that every increase in work rewards, will be taken by the government; so they decide to stop trying.

Stagnation follows, the money leaves for better opportunity, and the country dies of the malignancy of Socialism.

But like any cancer, it can be cured with redical effort!

This growing European interest in private health insurance typically stems from dissatisfaction with the state-run systems, which often provide poor or incomplete coverage and long wait times.

So the liberals here are backing this 100%, ignoring all the problems; while looking at the World the liberal rose colored liberal glasses! Only government based programs can work when using these glasses. They MUST Ignore all facts, and echo only liberal talking points.The goal is the power to be gained by controlling 1/6th of the US Economy, and they do NOT give a damn about people or healthcare!

Rising support for socialism in the United States comes at a time when politicians like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., promise a great many “free” services, to be provided or guaranteed by the government.

Supporters often point to nations with large social programs, such as Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Scandinavian states, particularly when it comes to health care.

NEWS FLASH: Socialized medicine is NOT a viable plan; because it does NOT work...ever

The UK did this a while ago (good job UK!) but as the money from public coffers begins to fail; parts of the EU are being forced to consider alternatives that actually work! It should be noted that one of the big reasons they wantto move back to private healthcare plans, is the statistical proven drop in life expectancy

Here is a report on the dysfunctional socialist medical system in Denmark:

This is a distillation of socialized medicine, you should read this entire article! The opportunities are especially interesting, in that these steps are exactly what you would need to rebuild a modern healthcare system, after destroying it with socialized medicine!

due

outcome

f)

l)
redesign

SO, even though this plan is rapidly destroying 100% of the Countries that try it, liberals here are Hell bent on dragging us down this same rabbit hole! With all the Historical data on the unrelenting damage this malignant policy brings; those too ignorant to do an internet search, want to lead us into Their future while we are forced to die early! But they make up for it, by forcing us to pay for that early death!

Even a minor student of History would be able to show you that this is a terrible way to go! Highest cost, and lowest quality healthcare available on the planet, that never works...EVER!

More harm was done to US Healthcare by the "Affordable" 'Care' Act! Since it is NOT Affordable, nor does it involve medical Care for people! It is the largest theft in History, and the biggest scam ever pulled on the USA!

Sort:  

I have lived in USA and Germany with little children (one is disabled) in the us I had the best insurance, I worked for the government, I paid 350$ a month for health only and I was still drowning in medical bills. The birth of my twin daughters cost 12,000 out of pocket for a 20-day hospital stay, even though I paid extra for a 300$ family deductible. Somehow they billed me for all sorts of random things that were deemed out of coverage a year of fighting the insurance company and hospitals got the cost down to 8k. Not only that but my disabled son was subject to countless costly procedural tests that did more damage to him than helped that would never have happened in Germany. Here in Germany, I pay 170€ a month for eye, dental, and health. I never pay a cent for any service its amazing. That being said, my wife takes home about 65% of her paycheck and like you said people are realizing the system is being abused and are demotivated by this. It's a doomed system, it takes simple math to see in Germany 40% of citizens pay taxes and of that 40% 20% work for the government... Healthcare should be a right, but it's not possible (with our technology). Both systems are shit,

Sadly true, socialism destroys all incentives to improve, and that stagnation is fatal.

I understand your frustration, my insurance for my entire family was $500 a month before the ACA. After, since my wife has MS, I could not get coverage at any price, although they offered me, by myself sad coverage for $600 a month.

ANY time any government gets into healthcare, it is doomed. Everything they touch turns to crap!

When the liberals spend the USA into insolvency, I will be safe in the country, raising my food, and medicine. The World will not be so lucky, when this country goes, sadly the entire World will follow along on that crash. stupid people do stupid things.

I just pray it does NOT last decades, before we can climb back out of this hole caused by this liberal abuse of power.

:'(

Well said sir badger. Lets hope they figure out a way to make the system last awhile there but long term we know it can't.
