You've got to PAY to PLAY. That's a very simple concept. If you cannot PAY, why would you expect someone to give you lunch, or housing, or anything else? Why is health care any different?
Personally, I'd die before I take any Government Health Care. At least I'd go to my grave with a clear conscience.
In my personal opinion, healthcare, like the defense of our nation, should not be a "for profit" industry. Insurance companies are not looking out for the interest of their consumers, of the patients, of Americans...they look out only for their shareholders. That amounts, again in my personal opinion, to profiteering.
We have the best military in the world, right? That's what everyone says. Oddly enough, we have the best military in the world and it's not a business. It's not for profit.
Now imagine that we were putting the amount of money into our military that we are, but instead of having the best military, we rank towards the bottom. THAT is our healthcare system and you're just fine with it, but what if it were our military?
To this day I still have a problem with the concept of a family having to make the choice between the health/life of their child and bankruptcy.
No longer have to, except in mindless red states for a little while longer...you're welcome...
