(This thread has morfed into Health Care)
Take a look at the UK’s system.
98.8%, Paid for by, Taxes.
(Yet, the ‘fairy Dust Sprinklers’, say it is, ‘free’)
Who, pays the Taxes ????
It Does, “… not including admission to hospital…”
“ … There have been issues about cross-border payments …”
“ …many people complained about long waiting times and underfunding. Satisfaction with the Health Service fell in 2015…”
“ …About 10% of GDP is spent on health…”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Health_ServiceConsidering, the GNP of the UK, that 10%, is HUDGE !!!!!!
Now look at Canada.
“…Most government funding (94%) comes from the provincial level…”
“…Most family doctors receive a fee per visit….”
“ …hospitals have been forced to cut costs or reduce services….”
“…Half of private health expenditure comes from private insurance and the remaining half is supplied by out-of-pocket payments….”
“…Healthcare spending in Canada (in 1997 dollars) has increased each year between 1975 and 2009, from $39.7 billion to $137.3 billion, or per capita spending from $1,715 to $4089. In 2013 the total reached $211 billion, averaging $5,988 per person….”
“…The government attempts to ensure the quality of care…”
(Key word is, ‘ATTEMPTS”)
“…The result is that there is a wide variance in what is covered across the country by the public health system, particularly in more controversial areas, such as midwifery or autism treatments….”
“ …More than 60 percent of prescription medications are paid for privately…”
“ …though communities in rural, remote and northern regions, and some specialties, may still experience a shortage…”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_CanadaAnd of course, what both those Countries Spend in Defense, is a drop in the bucket. Compared to 'another', Country, who protects their BUTT, so they don't have to. They can spend that money, on the 'one payer system,.
So, ya have a, ‘one payer’ system.
Need a aspirin for a headache ?
Free, (If you don’t pay taxes)
Broke your arm falling off the ladder ?
Free, (If you don’t pay taxes)
In a CAR Accident, ?
FREE, TO Fix you up, (If you don’t pay Taxes)
BUT, you WILL get a BILL, from the Hospital !
You need a Liver or Kidney? Have Cancer?
Tough Sh&#, you DIE !!!!!!
Everything is IN Place Here (in the USA), NOW.
ALL that needs to be done is.
It Take AWAY the MONOPOLY, the Insurance companies have.
(Thank you Democrats)
And OPEN up, the ability to purchase a Insurance Plan from ANYWHERE in the US.
NOT be, Forced, to purchase from the States MONOPOLY !
Yes, Health care in the USA, is Broke.
It does NOT, cost, $12.00 for a aspirin, if delivered by a nurse.
But that is what they charge, (+/-)
Here is a REAL Life !!!!!!
$69.95 for a 30 sec, prick the finger, a drop of blood, put on a test strip, the machine that reads it, cost $500.00, (For INR test- Blood Thinner). THAT, is what is universally Charged in MINN.
The wife needed that, ’test each week’, after leaving the Hospital.
Local Clinic, went up to the counter and told them, “I would Pay IN CASH each time, how much”?
GEE, it was $22.50.
WHAT? $22.50 vs $69.95 ????????
You Know the Clinic was making money on the $22.50.
So HOW MUCH, MORE, by charging the Insurance Companies $69.95 ???
And I could go on and on.
Point is, Yes, the HC in the USA is Broke.
And it is Broke, because the Democrats, are in Bed with the Hospitals, and Insurance Companies.
And, ‘Bamma Care’, is NOT Even CLOSE, to the answer !!!!!!!!
In fact, it is MUCH WORSE, than what was before !!!!
And you actually, ‘Trust’, the guberment, to, ‘fix’ it ???
With some sort of, guberment funded one pay system.
Oh Gosh, No one in the guberment, will stuff their pockets, and hire their buddy to stuff his pockets.
Oh No, just can’t happen.
Canada, the average salary of a Doctor is,
“… The gross average salary was $328,000….”
AND:
“…Recent reports indicate that Canada may be heading toward an excess of doctors…”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_CanadaWhat would the guberment, pay a Doctor here, if they took control ???
But Hey, it’s FREE. (If you don’t PAY Taxes)
The ‘FIX’ is the, Trees in the Forrest.
