I feel the healthcare system and costs have gotten way out of hand. Ford Motor Company just posted record losts. Companies can't afford to pay for health insurance for their employees and it isn't their job to IMO.A fractionof the taxpayers $$ being wasted and going to these other countries in foreign aid could just pay forfree healthcare for every American.Our American made products would be lower in price as the large price of health insurance would be lifted from the manufacturers' back.Health care is the BIGGEST operating cost for big and smallbusiness.We also can't forget that over half of America has no health insurance as they can't afford it. We make sure that foreigners are helped before our own people are. Screw the foreigners, take car eof things at home. If my kid needs a new coat, I don't take the coat money and send it to a kid in Uganda. I take care of my owns' needs.
Why have they gotten out of hand? Its the entitlement attitued that this country has. The price of malpractice insurance it out of control because people can sue for almost anything and win. If we had reasonable judges with commonsense, who did not award millions of dollars for paper cuts, we wouldn't have this problem.
Socialized health care? No thanks. I live in Canada most of the year and I see how their system works. I thank God that I have private insurance down here. Doctors up there are government employees and underpaid. The system is slow and the care is poor.
Poor analogy, but would you want the mailman operating on you?
I agree, this is the reason for high costs. How do we stop it though? Make it illegal to sue a Dr.? That sounds scary too. The Healthcare Systemin America is a mess too.
No mailman please.
This is the 1st time I have been to a Dr. since I hit a deer with my Harley 6 years ago. I never have health issues and my entire family never goes to the Dr.(knock on wood). The cost of our premium is outrageeous and we are self employed.
