[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1356509, member: 18225"] The irony here is that the 'single-payer' healthcare system we actually have in place, Medicare, has much more positive outcomes, lower costs overall, and just functions as it should. I'm not sure what you mean, 'helping you through the rest of your life'... Our current healthcare system is so riddled with overspending, multiple-insurance bloat, idiot redundancies, etc., and you're asking me if I think bigger government is the solution? Are you telling me that less government in the healthcare system is working super-well? When the insurance companies are charging you 10$ for an aspirin, that's not the governments fault. When the government blocks regulation saying that Medicare can't bargain for drug prices, that's the governments fault. You're asking me if I want someone to hold my hand, I'm asking you if you want corporations and insurance companies to dictate your health care options for you, and do a chitty job at it. I love how everyone says that America is the best...unfortunately we're not the best at healthcare outcomes, and it's mostly due to our idiot system. Yes, we should change the system, because our system sucks. We pay too much as a country for healthcare, and we have inferior results. The ACA could have been the start to a fix, but it's so bloated with industry and big-business hand-jobs and poor implementation, and it's not the answer. On principle I agree with "market-forces", but I feel that some things don't belong in that realm, like healthcare. And water-rights. (Do you know that companies from France are buying the water supply from right under our feet? and that it's perfectly legal for them to do so? I don't think that's correct, and I think it's a matter of national security...) [/QUOTE]
