shibiwan Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 there are no rights to anything that would require someone else to work for free. Everyone has the right today to get healthcare, just they actually have to pay for it themselves. Not saying that someone has to work for free to provide the healthcare... the single payer (i.e. the gub'mint) will cover that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 If you can afford to pay a doctor with no insurance...more power to you. Not many can. I've always been able to get treatment, then make payments...in my preinsured days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Lol, you know what I meant, the children are priceless :) Most of us pay huge monthly premiums, not just a deductible. I glanced online at Singapore's health system, it indeed looks like one of the better if not best government health care systems world wide. That being said I can't think of any US government program that isn't in the red by billions or trillions of dollars! Doctors spend 8+ years of their lives and build tremendous amounts of student loan debt to become a doctor, they deserve to make a lot of money. They also have to pay out the ass for medical malpractice insurance, those cost trickle down to the patients. It's not really the doctors or even the insurance companies fault that health care is so high, our free market system of supply, demand, & competition kept rates bearable for many years. The root cause of the problem in a nutshell is that over the past 20-30+ years the "Takers" have out bred the Givers . We the "Givers" aka hard working TAX PAYING Americans are having to pay for an ever increasing pool of non working trash that thinks the government should take care of them for life. On top of that we have 15,000,000 Illegal aliens here that get free health care! Who's paying for that? I think it's an apple and orange thing, I'm somewhat familiar with Asian cultures (I'm married to one:) and I know that the vast majority of the Asian populations will work hard if given the opportunity to do so. That's why the Singapore's healthcare system works, the vast majority pays. Here it will soon be the minority paying all the taxes at the rate we're going, that's why it would/will fail here. Not ranting on you Shibiwan, just my opinion. None taken... love to hear both sides. ... being a legal immigrant, don't get me started on illegal immigration (and the stupid path to legalization/amnesty)... BTW, I'm married to whitey (she's from TN) and she has some medical issues so insurance premiums are @$#^#!@%# insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
