Single payer health care is the latest scam
I oppose government health care. Ever work in a Veterans Administration hospital? I have. So I know what the government can do with health care and I am appalled. The current system of third party payers is not serving the needs of everyone, but no system will. Get it? No system will meet everyone's needs! At least now though, here in the US you have the choice of earning health care coverage through your employer or not. You have the freedom of choosing your own doctor. You have the freedom to a second opinion. The point is that now we have freedom. The choices may come with costs but they always do. When government takes control of the system your choices will be put up or shut up. End of story. Only the elites will truly have access to quality health care in their private clinics. Senators and CEO's are never going to settle for public health care on par with criminals and libertarians. The public will be treated like cattle at best. I know there are many out there (doubt many of them read this website) who live in a fantasy world. In this fantasy the government can take care of all problems if the state is given enough control and oversight (ie. we move closer to fascism). I believe it has been tried before. Ask a survivor of the Soviet health care plan how that worked. Rather than go to the extreme of state run health care, why not find some middle ground? Insurance companies are part of the problem. Government gave them their monopolies back in the Nixon days. Government and insurance companies are in bed together. The need to get out of the health care business. Together insurance and government are leaching the lifeblood of the providers and patients like, well... LEECHES! Take insurance and government out of the picture and let doctors practice and patients make choices for themselves. Only when patients and providers can choose the best course of action unimpeded will the system ever work again. Only then will we cease to be herded like sheep. I am a pharmacist and I see everyday how the government and insurance companies drain the lifeblood out the the health care system in the US. And still it is the best health care system in the world. If you are going to get sick, where do you want to be? Beijing? Bombay? I think not. Freedom of choice, not government control. Get government and insurance companies out of health care altogether.
