dear, the Point is, with recourse to an Income, more people can consume those products and services they may need. good capitalists know how to take advantage not Only of demand deposit relationships with cute bankers, but also time deposit relationships as well to save for some out of pocket expenses.Yes, that is exactly where some of the cost savings should show up, with Any competition under Any form of capitalism.The point is, insurance can afford better products at lower cost with more rather than less market participation by more people.Health insurance is required now. Why would they bring the prices down when they can make more profits?
And, as I said, the health insurance need to be in place when the program starts.
Not at a lower cost to the patient. Medicare/Medicaid can provide the same care. Don't pretend you are worried about tax money spent on this, when wasting tax dollars has been the problem with your entire plan.
And if those insurance companies won't treat patients with pre-existing conditions?
And if those insurance companies have high deductibles?
Plus the fact that it will take time for the costs to drop. It will not be immediate.
Why is it that you want to get paid yourself, by the gov't, for quitting a job, but you want the private sector to help the homeless (the poorest of the poor) rather than having welfare programs do it? Oh yeah, I forgot. You want unemployment compensation for everyone, regardless of whether it is the best thing for them.
Right, because homeless people are smart consumers and know how to take advantage of banking practices ect.
And, with money in their pocket, they will no longer be a slave to the addictions that made them homeless to begin with?
And the mentally ill, without treatment, will be good stewards of their money.
Absolute bullshit. The homeless need a combination of welfare programs (welfare checks, low cost housing, food stamps and healthcare) in order to reenter the work force.
And unemployment compensation cannot offer all that they need. Just giving them money, without addressing the other issues, will likely do more harm than good.
