Re: How Are Most Affording Health Care These Days? Any Suggestio
Not true.
Who says that private insurance companies cant make bids to the states or to the national gov. to underwrite a national HI plan?
Who says that hospitals couldnt remain private institutions that negotiate rates as they do currently?
Who says that the feds have to be anything more than a billing intermediary?
Thats why I believe that privatized elements would be the key. Medicare & Social Security fraud is rampant.
Mostly because we do not try very hard to fight the fraud. Comparatively, HI companies fight very hard to eliminate fraud, and ensure that money spent is going to valid health care.
I am not a fan of government programs by any means; but I would not necessarily be against a public/private partnership (just not in its current proposed form!!)
When you do that it is no longer single payer . . .

Medicare is a single payer system. Medicare is broke.
Social Security is a single payer system. Social Security is broke.
What makes you think turning over another system to the govt will work any better than the ones they have now?
