[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 253117, member: 9859"] Is the current privatized Healthcare a true byproduct of the free market to the purist? Or are we really suffering from Corperate Socialsim.Being so paranoid of partial Gov't heathcare choice plan, but so willing to bend over and let Corperate Rover to take over for the almighty profit. How much freedom does the average Joe even get to choose his Insurance unless he has Ben Franklins falling out if his pocket. The dominant form of collectivism is via Employment and clearly there are many people who want some form of Health care but can't afford it and don't recieve it. How can the market be made to serve them? I believe that high costs and low quality plans are the result of lack of competition. Before you roll your eyes to the back of your head, listen up and stop professing there's nothing wrong with the system. Say the Dem's lose the election (unlikely, but just make believe) We now have a system where health care plans are selected by employers, rather than individuals. We should move to a system where individuals select from competing providers. Our employers don't pick our stock broker, our bank, or other service providers. Why should they pick our health care provider? Individuals (not employers) should get a substancial tax deduction for purchasing health care and a raise in salaries and the minimum wage. All individuals should be required to purchase health insurance (unless they can prove they have the resources to pay out of pocket). The state can subsidize low-income individuals and families, but they have to be able to use their subsidies in a competitive market. [/QUOTE]
