There are a lot of aspects that go together with having good health. Insurance and capitalism isn't going to solve this issue. It will only make it worse. We have hypocrites in both parties from the bottom to the top using and abusing the political process for their own personal gain and agendas.I think we need to distinguish between social safety nets and socializing a concern generally. And we need to be clear about what a given policy is trying to achieve. ACA always seemed, to me, like a giant bait and switch. Most people wanted government to do something about inflated health care prices. Or perhaps provide a fallback for people who couldn't afford health care. But this was twisted into an effort to herd everyone into the corporate insurance pens. It became all about insurance, instead of focusing on a health care market so out of control that most people couldn't afford health care.
If you have a person that has a bad heart, diabetes and other issues that feels like its okay to keep eating shit and getting shots and pills to counteract their own personal bad habits; what incentive is there for them to take a little personal responsibility in their health if others are paying for the majority of that eighteen hundred a month for their meds?
If the company that sells the products that treat these diseases can have a sister company that sells enzymes and products that cause the diseases; how can that be justified to allow them to continue putting crap into the markets?
If Wall Street makes a profit on these transactions either way want difference does it make to them?
When people go on Medical Tourism, where do they go to? Socialized government run, state funded, hospitals? Or private pay-for-service Capitalist based hospitals? Of course they go to the Capitalist, private run hospitals. Socialism sucks. Their service and treatment are terrible. Cheaper.... sure.... but terrible.
If I said you could get free care, but you'll likely die, or expensive care, but you'll survive, which would you choose?
We know this answer. People in Canada mortgage their homes, to pay for quality treatment in the US. They have free care. But they forfeit the free care, to come here, and pay for care.
Any attempt to force people into a system of socialized government run state sponsored health care, is an attempt to doom people to death.
It's that simple.
