Why is it republicans think Universal Health care is wrong?

Heath care through Aetna is $1239 a month for a couple. Not the very low $150 you claim, if you can get that care through them at that price, jump on it, I'm paying more than that for some crumby insurance that doesn't pay much at all in return. Even when I qualify for Medicare in two years, we will be paying more than that.

We just went to the doctor, each of us paid $125 for the office visit, the medications were $139, with our 'discount'. His blood test was $539. God help us if we ever really get sick and have this, we'd be spending our retirement fund on hospitals.

Turned out I did have pneumonia but thankfully I didn't need to be hospitalized. We do as a country spend nearly twice as much at other countries and still have forty million people not covered, and subject to bankruptcy if there is a serious medical problem. There is only one real reason to object to the way we do it now...the medical/insurance industry is the most powerful in the country and they sit in on the committees who write the rules.

Its truly disgusting how they play on the basest of human feelings, that of the very infantile 'me first', to justify their gross profits. But since we have chosen to respond to that with unthinking approval, there isn't much the intelligent can do to change it. And so we will grind on, with Americans thinking its just fine that medical care is a privilege, while the rest of the world knows its a human right.

All insurance is based on the idea that more people will not have a car accident, die before paying enough in premiums, or get seriously ill than those who will. Thats what an insurance pool is there for, they always know, through actuaries, how long it will take to make a profit, and they are very profitable. So anytime you get any kind of insurance you are paying more than you will, in all probability, take in.

The insurance company plans for you to pay for the neighbors burned home, or sick kid, because they know that five hundred other homes won't burn, or one hundred other kids won't need their tonsils out.

And the taxes are 60% of gross. And a specialist require 2 year waits unless you know someone. There is no way you can pay the government 40 % of your health care dollars without sacrificing an equal amount of service.

60 cents will not buy a dollars worth of health care, period. The single payer system is some pay and get nothing some pay and get a little. The consumer or the medical community gain anything under this system.

Only union jobs will be created at the agency thats overseeing the redistribution.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
