Why are people so uninformed about US health care?

Question

50 million people don't have it, it costs more than any other country, Canada has a higher life expectancy and a lower infant mortality than the US and the US is 37th in the world in health CARE, France is number one. Us has the least generous welfare programs in the industrialized world, other countries have less poverty, less homelessness, less infant mortality, less underweight babies, less domestic abuse and less crime. We pay more than other countries because of prescription drugs, co payments and insurance premiums. Why are people so uneducated and uninformed.

Answer 1

I would like to suggest you get as much information as you could before taking action,here is a good place for that.http://health-insurance.onlinebestoffer....

Answer 2

You prove your own point. You know nothing about US health care. You just listen to the socialist democrats who want to get their hands on another mountain of money like they have with social security and medicare. The will blow the health care money just like they blow our social security cash. Ask yourself why those 50 million people don't have health insurance. Then ask yourself how farmers and other self employed people do have health insurance. Those 50 million are waiting for a free ride rather than buying their own like the rest of us have to do.

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it's free.

Answer 3

Oh ya just what we need another social program that will fail and give the lazy a bigger reason to stay lazy.   If people don't have health care they don't need to start a family until they do.

Get rid of the billion dollars commercials, the crazy law suits and ban lawyers from chasing doctors around.  Stop doping up people so we think we have to run to the doctors everyone we get sick.

Answer 4

I'm probably a lot older than you and I remember 30 years of Democratic promises that never came true.  One of them is healtcare.  

If you watched the DNC, Teddy Kennedy was 30 years younger giving a healthcare speech.  It's promises, lies, and propaganda.

Answer 5

If that is so, why don't Americans go to Canada for important operations,etc.?  Why are people flocking to live in the US?

Regarding your ill backed up claims,the reason some other countries have a lower infant mortality and underweight babies is because they kill them before they are born, see China. The US doesn't hide their homeless populous as well as some countries.  

Answer 6

They are still stuck in that 50s mindset that the most expensive thing is always the best thing.  If we could just get some health coverage for those who can't work, but are not poor, it would be a good start.

One of the problems of affordability is that the inflation of the last 7 years is catching up, and gasoline, food, clothing, and other items are also rising in price.  How long before health care costs double?  Better get all those operations you might need when you get old right now before the price quadruples!
