^what has that got to do with anything?
the delay of the passing of this bill is probably why the USA's HDI is still behind many european countries. health care is a merit good, high demand and low supply. it's stupid that most of the USA's health care is in the private sector, since it doesn't help to protect the people with lower incomes. |

^what has that got to do with anything? the delay of the passing of this bill is probably why the USA's HDI is still behind many european countries. How do you arrive at this conclusion? Why is Germany, which healthcare proponents often cite in arguments, lower than the United States in HDI? HDI is a load of crap. QUOTE health care is a merit good, high demand and low supply. it's stupid that most of the USA's health care is in the private sector, since it doesn't help to protect the people with lower incomes. The fact that healthcare is a good is the reason why it MUST be left to the private sector. Making healthcare a right means you force healthcare providers to give it away/provide services for free. Why discriminate against the healthcare industry then? Why not make food a right? Free food at the supermarkets for all. Do you think that would work? |
