Actually, I'm young and healthy. Most my premiums would be going to fund the healthcare of the older, less healthy folks. I've probably been to the doctor less than a half dozen times in my life, most of that when I was a kid.

It's kinda like social security. I mean, social security is just a socialized 401k. National health insurance is better for the entire economy.

In the end, you have to subsidize everyone that goes to the emergency room without health insurance anyway. By having a national insurance, not only would you get a better value for your money, but free preventative healthcare will help unclog our emergency rooms.

You couldn't achieve a true free market system while requiring hospitals to treat folks regardless of ability to pay.

I miss you.

Sincerely,

Back to the definition of "Assault Weapon" ...

<snip>

This post is so insanely ignorant in terms of healthcare..... I don't know where to start.

Just some highlights....

- Social security isn't even close to a 401K. If it was, we'd all be living a MUCH better retirement.
- "National Insurance" doesn't create "better value" if you somehow believe this, please research the fraud that's taken place in medicare and they gross amount of inefficiency and incompetency in the VA system.
- Our ERs are "clogged" mainly in areas where illegal immigration is a problem. So much so that they are shutting down. Take from that what you will.
- Where are health care providers informed of a patient's ability to pay?? Namely, it's not like a doctor, nurse, etc providing care has some sort of reference on a patient's ability to pay.
