[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 565858, member: 18807"] Thank you for posting. I am deathly afraid of nationalized health care. The article touched on some of my fears... "When the government is the only payer, it rules out market signals that improve service and efficiency. [COLOR=blue][I][B]We provide free coverage for minor services so we don't always have enough resources for timely major services.[/B][/I][/COLOR] A more sensible system, while excluding no one, would include co-payments for front-end costs up to a reasonable maximum, depending on the patient's ability to pay. Only an adequately funded universal health plan can protect all of us from major and catastrophic occurrences. But there will never be adequate funding if we continue to rely solely on government to provide for every minor expense. Co-payments based on income would introduce a new source of funding to remedy this imbalance. [B][I][COLOR=blue]It would encourage improved service rather than rationing[/COLOR][/I][/B]. " [/QUOTE]
