Re: US healthcare system
No...I think the government needs to come up with a way to make health insurance more affordable for the middle/lower middle classes. Preferably through a market based system, with tax breaks to help cover the cost.
and the way to make insurance affordable is to take out teh fat in the system, which there is a lot. salaries, overhead, all costs are high
But it sounds like you're definitely trying to argue that things are all hunky dory abroad...all I'm doing is pointing out that European-style socialized healthcare isn't the utopian system you're making it out to be, and that socializing the healthcare system in isolation, without a major overhaul of everything else, simply isnt feasible.
if it sounds liek that to you, then you are reading me wrong. and I am not making the european system to be a utopian system.
we dont have to take everythig from it, but what works, lets take that, what does not work as well as it should lets take that and make it work. if nothign applies then dont use anything.
I am arguing that our system is broken, and when you say that european system is broken itself, and then we see us score lower then them in prevtable deaths, then we know we have a real issue at hand.
I have not noted socialzing the system, read my previous posts, I have clearly noted that a secondary safety net system needs to be in place. how its done I dont really care, whether it is thru affordable insurance or through govt programs.
