No you don't, you merely parrot off the same things over and over again. And when people don't buy your bullshit, you repeat it in capital letters. The only bad jokes are the incoherent rants that you call your argument.
QUOTE what you continuously refuse is the fact that socialized medicine outperforms private medicine all over the world & even in america. CONSUMER SERVICE SATISFACTION IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID THAN IN COMPARISON TO PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE. And what you continuously ignore is the fact that they're unsustainable. If I had the ability to borrow basically unlimited amounts of money/print money out of thin air/forcibly take money from the most productive members of society, I bet I could beat medicare/medicaid in customer satisfaction. The country would implode, but at least we'd have universal healthcare before that happen s, and that's all the matters, right? QUOTE p.s. what does the size of population have to do with anything? Try the same scheme in China. How's their healthcare system compared to the US? QUOTE p.p.s. we need to put more money into systems that are not adequately funded; it's no different than paying the highest prices in the world for mediocre healthcare. I love how you keep talking shit about our quality of care when people from countries which supposedly have world class healthcare systems come to the US for treatment. I think most people agree that the quality of US healthcare is world class; the problem is availability of that care. Allowing the free market to work means lower prices, more efficiency and greater availability. QUOTE p.p.p.s. what inefficiencies & higher costs do government regulations contribute? how are these related to the inefficiencies and high costs of our private industries? Barriers to competition artificially lower the supply of things like doctors and drugs. Lower supply leads to higher prices. QUOTE p.p.p.p.s. how many people have the tobacco industry killed? how long have they been trying to hide the fact that their product kills? how have they designed it to addict people? and it's all legal! & cost efficient! wow, capitalism is so cool! because efficiency & profit are more important THAN f*ckING ANYTHING?!?!?! right. Because someone choosing to smoke tobacco out of their own free will is just as wrong as the government putting a bullet in their brain, right? Unbelievable. QUOTE p.p.p.p.p.s. explain EXACTLY how deregulation would fix healthcare in america. See above. Removing artificial barriers for competition leads to greater availability and lower prices. |
