Why do you oppose universal, single-payer healthcare?

[Padawanbater2]

Can you please explain to me why you oppose universal healthcare?

 

[Sir Napsalot]

Why are you asking?

 

[Padawanbater2]

Just curious

 

[UncleBuck]

don't oppose single payer as much as i think the german model would be more palatable to americans.

Is this thread about single pay or universal healthcare?

They're definitely not the same thing.

See: Europe.

Death boards for one. There is a reason many people in countries with universal healthcare have to come to the States for treatment.

Death boards? stop listening to info wars dude. Paying all that money to insurance companies instead of healthcare is working out?

Cost is just way out of control. Health Care is almost 20% GDP currently, ObamaCare costs are spiraling out of control, having the Government take over something I don't think will make it more effective or less expensive.

yes, you believe it despite all evidence to the contrary. most first world countries have universal healthcare, all spend less than USA. The corporations sure dont want it. They spend billions to ensure it doesnt happen. They have influenced your "beliefs"

Yup universal healthcare

 

[Growdict]

so you are against saving millions of lives and billions of dollars because if you are actaully brain dead, the government can withdraw care. Note: you could still take your loved one to a private facility and pay for their care - no difference except all the other medical expenses up to that point are paid for. there are many cases you can pay extra to get better or faster service.

We spend twice as much for half of the care here in the US. How could non-profit government be less efficient than insurance that make so much profit they have billions to pour into DC?

Because using common sense and saving lives, suffering, and money while still having supplemental private insurance is the definition of big brother.

 

[cool2burn]

Yea its cheaper because it is substandard care with long waits for everything

American slips and breaks an ankle, goes to hospital, maxes out credit cards to pay for xrays, casts etc. sues the city and local businesses to make up for shortfall. total cost including lawyers fees $25k
