Why should we nationalize health care?

Question

I REALLY don't understand this!!!

Governemnt is the most wasteful and fiscally irresponsible entity on Earth! They bankrupted Social Security for crying outloud! Do you really want to put something as important as your health in their hands?

How does rationing Health Care sound like a good idea? Hospitals and doctors will only be able to do a certain number of every surgery as dictated by the governments budget! Not to mention that if you're an older person your chances of getting a surgery are nil! Why would the gov waste a surgery on a 70 year old? Your life expantancy is met!

I saw a video of a woman in Canada who lost her bladder because she had to wait 2 years to get a simple operation! Besides, it's against the law to deny someone care if they go to the hospital! So who's not being taken care of?

Answer 1

healthcare is a necessity.  If u pay ur insurance premiums at work n get cancer, they will not pay for ur cancer treatment, they will refund ur premiums.  they will hire u for 39 hours a week n say u r part-time n get no benefits.  

If it was ur child, u would want health care.  If it was ur spouse, ur family member, u would want health care.  Healthcare is a civil right.  Now the us already pays for half of the healthcare.

They pay th VA, kids, elderly, illegals, it goes on n on.  So why not make it available for everyone.  What happens when u r unemployed?  

I saw a patient who lost his bladder because th surgeons were incompetent and cut it up including his renal artery.  They couldn't stop the bleeding!!!! So they called an intrasurgical consult, a real surgeon came in n saved the mans life.  He required about 40 units of blood, and another 40 units of fluid.  Th biopsis were all negative.

I saw a patient who was given a cholonoscopy and told she had an infection.  she was started on medication.  Then the scoping was repeated.  The patient was then transferred to another hospital so noone would be the wiser, agains the scoping was done.  Th patient had six of the procedures, so the doctor could go to Brazil.  She then went for a second opinion n the new doctor had to repeat the procedure to determine if what the first doctor was doing was right.  

When she complained to the doctor she was sent to a psychiatrist and started on antidepression to quell her zeal.

Yes, we have enough doctors.  Many are sorry SOBs who look at a person n see dollar signs.  We had one dentist who did about 10 route canals in one day on a child.  In California the doctors were performing open heart surgery on patients that didn't need them, some of them died.  That's why Tenet's stock is on the floor.

Our socialist government just took over a savings and loan that went broke maiking mortgage loans, it  took over another investment house in new york not long ago, it bailed out chrysler, and 911 victims received millions of dollars even though we did not cause the problem.  I might add that GI's only get a few thousand.  So the government is socialist when it is convenient.

Answer 2

This is very true and many Canadians come down here (for serious medical issues that can't wait, they wait out the non serious issues for their own doctors to be ready) to the states to get things taken care of. It would hurt several countries as most first world countries are socialist and have national health care. The US is one of the few countries that does not have it and thus is an outlet for other people to receive medical treatment earlier.

Answer 3

Don't let the politicians s***w anything else up. The Russians tried socialism, look where it got them. Canadians come to the U.S. to escape their wonderful government run healthcare. Oh Yeah!!!!! The Gov't will save us all.  Remember this election year say NOBAMA!! NOBAMA!!

Answer 4

Government screws things up real good.
