[QUOTE="beatupbrown, post: 243706, member: 4488"] [SIZE=2]People who say that the private sector do a better job then the government when it comes to health care should take note. [/SIZE][B]For all their differences, other countries publicly regulate the provision of health care more closely than the United States. Defenders of the U.S. system often decry these alternatives as forms of "rationing" and "bureaucracy." The United States, however, already has plenty of both, courtesy of the private, profit driven system. Every HMO or managed-care arrangement in the United States rations care - permitting a patient to see a specialist only if referred by a primary-care physician, refusing to cover certain treatments altogether - while the system as a whole rations care according to ability to pay. And even the Wall Street Journal admits that the U.S. system "has accumulated a massive bureaucracy that simply doesn't exist in other countries." Perhaps one fourth of so-called "health care" workers "do nothing but paperwork." It should not come as any surprise that, for our unmatched levels of spending, the United States gets less than it pays for. What the U.S. system has - inefficiency, red tape, and big profits - is expensive. What it lacks - universal coverage- is priceless. I am going to take a look at Cheryl's links ,being informed is the key when makeing a choice on this matter folks.:thumbup1: [/B] [/QUOTE]
