Thank you. And thats my point. If you have a problem with a national healthcare plan, you need to ask WHY we need one at all?
Simple, most Americans cant afford healthcare coverage!
Then you ask why is that? Look at the surgeons, look at the hospitals that charge $20 for a gauss (sp?) pad. Or $60,000 for a "routine" appendix removal. Actual price there, friend just had it and had no insurance.
Than ask why do these things cost so much? Happens when insurance companies blindly pay and dont say "Hey Mr. Hospital! Thats too much, we are not paying!!!".
And then you ask who "owns" the hospital "industry".
Ah, interesting little circle there. Actually, not a circle, but a money making industry that pays itself! And its controlled by private companies!
