Fix health care and pay off the national debt in 6 years with the savings!!!

[ABikerSailor]

Under capitalism, the individual is the one that makes the profit.

Under socialism, the government is the one that controls the prices, making it affordable for all.

Quick question for the OP. Under your system, where does the money come from? Are the capitalists going to pay off the debt?

 

[Manonthestreet]

Throw in a downsizing of govt and there is no reason we cant make a start on paying debt down

How much are you going to pay down each year?

Right now a 5% budget cut gets you even....if an .improving economy throws off more revenue who knows....just paying some off would give a confidence boost to tackle the situation more

Gets you even with what?

Money in, money out

 

[francoHFW]

So letting the insurance companies, the drug companies, the hospitals, the doctors, et al make even more money off the American people is a cost saver?

lol good one,.

with competition they would make far less and be far more innovative. Do you understand capitalism??

That's how we got this ridiculously overpriced "system" in the first place...

if you save $3 trillion a year govt can raise taxes that much and nobody is worse off. When debt is paid off they can drop taxes $3 trillion a year. DO you understand?

except under socialism 120 million starved to death because they could not afford food.

nothing is affordable on Cuba or Venezuela

Okay...I'll bite. Show me the math that makes that be so. Be sure to include how the needed trillions of dollars transfer from privately held accounts to the national treasury so the debt can be paid.

I love these guys and capitalism fixes everything...

The most expensive Health systems in the world are private and the cheapest are public... The overheads on Medicare are <3% and over 15% on private insurers...

The US spends 17% of its GDP on Healthcare while Europe spends less than 10% in most countries...

The simple thing is this... Europe has better health systems by nearly all metrics... IF you actually want to save money put in a universal heathcare system with the ability to buy private insurance on top... So the government supply the basics with plastic seats and waiting lists, you get private insurance for your choice of doctor and comfy seats...

as capitalism brings down cost $3 trillion a year govt can raise taxes that amount to pay of the national debt in 6 years. When debt is paid it can drop taxes $3 trillion a year.

as a liberal you will lack the IQ to understand how capitalism drives down prices and bankrupts competition

And as a moron, you lack the common sense to know that your ideas will never work.
