What is your opinion on these topics? Here's my two cents: Now to be perfectly honest, I think that these both need to be reformed anyway. Health Insurance has always been a very cutthroat business in my opinion. National Healthcare has been in usage in most countries in Europe with great success. I think that a National Healthcare plan would be a great idea... THAT IS, until this idiot of a president we have right now started spending trillion, yes I said trillions, of dollars on ventures that have been unsuccessful. On top of that he's too much of a pussy to go through with it and pass the "Citizen's Choice" bill for Health Insurance, a bill that had a great deal of support in Congress. If we had enough money to support the National Healthcare and Health Insurance plans, I think they would work. And don't start coming to me with shit like "It's health insurance without a choice!" Since when has Health Insurance and Healthcare ever been about choice?! Constantly you see Health Insurance companies denying claims because the work needed is not detrimental to a person's immediate survival even though it could improve their overall quality of life. I challenge you to find me a health insurance company that says they will cover ANY doctor and ANY operation. You can't find one. One doesn't exist. On the other hand, if Healthcare and Health Insurance was regulated under the government, you wouldn't have to worry about "Does this doctor participate with my insurance?" because they would HAVE TO! When the government says they will pay for any major medical procedure, they better do it. When the government says they will accept you regardless of age or pre-existing medical conditions, they better do it, because there are a number of people who would have the bravado to act against this; not to mention the fact that any Supreme Court would deem the "Death Panels" that the far right-wing has invented as unconstitutional. In short, I think that if we have another Democratic president, then he should start by correcting the mistakes of the previous two idiots we've had and then really working towards a Healthcare reformation that involves a Universal Healthcare system the government can adequately support. But what's your opinion on all of this? I await your responses. |
