RE: If government healthcare is so bad, why did you repeal ours and not yours?

in #health8 years ago

It is not government's responsibility to provide healthcare to its citizens. The best government for all is the least government. I do not believe in universal health care in how we have it. It is my conviction and believe that 200 plus years ago the churches dropped the ball or perhaps never quite picked it up. According to the Bible we are supposed to bring everything into the storeroom and the church would supply the needs of both those who were of the church and the community around it. We the church never did that. If they had we would not need the government getting involved or perhaps we would not need insurance companies. However it is all about money. It is all about doing thing as mankind chooses apart from God. Thanks for sharing the article.

Single payer Healthcare would actually save us, taxpayers money. We're paying for this atrocity and nobody else profits except the insurance cartel.

Kindly read this most informative post that describes the current plan being promoted by this corporate government:

This is so convoluted it’s going to be hard to work through. And the money involved, a mere $1.6 billion a year, is really pathetic and nearly 90 percent less of what experts say would be necessary to properly fund such a mechanism. But let’s break down what Republicans are doing. By allowing health-insurance companies to discriminate based on a pre-existing condition, the GOP would break the market for this subset of people. And then they would use government funds to fix this market failure. But they would funnel it directly to health-insurance companies, rather than eliminating the middleman.

This is single-payer for dummies. In a single-payer system, the government picks up the health-care costs for the population, paid for through progressive taxation. The market power of having one insurance payer can work to lower overall health care costs, making the system sustainable. In Trumpcare’s single-payer for dummies, the fragmented private-insurance middleman remains intact. But taxpayer dollars still pick up the health-care costs for those who cannot afford it. Instead of acquiring market power, they just give those taxpayer dollars to the private middlemen, which tells the private middlemen they can charge whatever they want and always get paid.
