Where in my idea would it be found that your choice would be taken away ? You would have this insurance card issued to you, and it would work anywhere you would choose to go, and it would pay for the services that the card represents paying for, in which would be your total health care needs. You would be able to choose your own doctor, hospital and care,
But I wouldn't be able to choose my health insurance. Instead, I would be forced into an unconstitutional, government-run, single-payer system.
just as long as they are not found to be fraudulent, overcharging and criminals in which has been found in the past among some of these businesses and/or their operators
Do you really want to go down this road? There is more fraud, criminal activity, and unethical behavior in one week of government than you could find in decades of private industry.
And yet you'll sit here all day worshipping government and bashing private industry . How do you explain that?
The health care industry seems to be the one that is out of control, and has been out of control for quite sometime now for many in this nation, but for the ones who could by pass the problems with money, they never experienced the horrors of the greed stricken industry in which was separating people by class. They were raping and pillaging peoples lives without regard of the long term consequences to them and this nation in the end. I know of a hospital right now that owes the government millions in fines and restitution for double billing and fraud of the Medicare system, and they have been ordered to pay the money back finally. These bad apples are what has made for the whole reform process to get to rolling in this nation, and it's just a shame that everyone wasn't on board with fixing it all. If they would have been, then maybe the right programs and solutions could have been found.
So because you know of a hospital (hell, lets say a dozen) who were corrupt, we need to shred the Constitution and hand over everything to the "pure", "incorruptible" government? This is the equivalent of saying because Ted Bundy was an animal who brutally beat, raped, and murdered women we need to permanently place all men in prison.
By the way - had the federal government kept their fucking nose out of healthcare in 1967 (as they were Constitutionally required to) there would be no Medicare/Medicaid for corrupt people to bilk. But you never consider that, do you? All you do is solve a problem created by government by giving government more power and control. If they can't stop fraud for Medicare & Medicaid, what in the hell is Obamacare going to do to stop it?!?!? Please, tell me, what magical fairy tale, pixie dust scenario do you have in your head where Obamacare somehow stops unethical people from acting unethical?
