Topic: Healthcare
Quote: We did and we also went through the fact that the rating for the US is so low because of those not insured, not those that are. I'd like to see the statistics that compare Americans WITH healthcare to socialized medicine countries' healthcare. Where's that apples to apples comparison? After all, you don't judge the quality of a country's highways by looking at its dirt roads, do you?\nThe difference now is that healthcare in the US isn't a scarce resource. You can spend as much as you like for whatever tests, etc., that you want. Put it under government control and cap the spending, THEN it will become a scarce resource.
Response: You know that under most public healthcare systems you can still buy private care if you really want to, don\'t you?\nAs for OldSarge\'s claim of bean pushers deciding what care you get, isn\'t another name for them "claims adjustors"? When I go to see a doctor he\'s the one who decides my treatment, not anyone else. He doesn\'t have to call anyone to check the funding is there, if it\'s covered for anyone, it\'s covered for me as well.
