in the past several elections, have we not heard the words “I promise” or “I will”. has any candidate done the job they were supposed to do when they were elected into office. Reagan, is one president, who achieved greatness because he did achieve what we asked for. Others would start and then give up on the ship. the problem i have that the steerage of the ship is not from the oval office but from the capital building. the change is needed in that building more than the change of the president. remember, that all bills have to be passed by the congress before the president signs it into law. so, remember, the blame is on congress for not taking action. for example how long did it take them to raise the minimum wage? if hillary can get away from playing dirty tactics, maybe folks might listen. we do need a change its a matter of where to start and sometimes at the top is not an answer.
ad, I do have insurance thank you for caring. I have insurance of all types – home, auto, health, dental (I cancelled my life insurance for now, but will probably have it in the future). And if you paid attention to my posts you would understand that I prefer capitalism. As is pointed out by most people on this board (to my understanding), and by my own reckoning, the majority of the problems with our system are caused by too much government interference.
The government can run things, though not as efficiently as private industry in most (if not all) cases. The big problems seem to occur when the government tries to half-arse the thing. I say let private industry have a true go at this and see what happens. We’ll be somewhat messed up for a couple years while people go for some profit-grabbing and then the market will settle down. It will be a little painful, but better in the long run.
I hate to say it, but your arguments against socialized medicine are falling on deaf ears, because I don’t want socialized medicine. I truly don’t. I just think it’s the lesser of two evils if I can’t have my preference. You can find more information to support your position if you want, but that won’t change my desire to have a purely capitalistic healthcare system.
In my last post I did not mean to make it sound like ad is for socialized medicine, as he or she obviously is not. I meant only to make clear that I don’t need to be convinced that capitalism is better.
ad, you can save yourself some time and stop researching now.
Read Hillary’s words: “I “might” be willing”. She is just saying enough to show that she is open minded. Hillary is going to tuck to the small business guy and the working people of this country. You start garnishing the wages of those individuals who do not have insurance, they will get cash paying jobs. Not all of them of course, but they will circumvent the system and those of us honest, hard working individuals end up paying for them as well.
Socialism may be fine in Russia and China not here in the United States of America!Government does not need to take care of everyone. We have done fine for 230+ years.
She “might”? Maybe she wwill, maybe she won’t? Is that proof that she has an open mind or is a fascist lacking only the power to implement her statist agenda? No one born and raised in this country should ever have such a thought cross her mind, let alone pass her lips.
Thank God that she is apparently going down the tubes, and that the Dems’ hopes are being pinned on another socialist with even less chance of getting elected than she had. Thank God that maybe now the Arkansas Trailer Trash Circus just might be ready to leave the stage.
If she doesn’t get the nomination she and Billy Jeff will divorce, and neither of them will remarry: both for the same reason.
OK – you’re right on! Wudchuck – Our parents need help? They’ve paid more into Social Security than anyone else? I’ll guarantee that is not true. If they’ve retired anytime in the last 10 years, it certainly is NOT true. They’re repaided far more than they’ve put into the system in as little as 30 months!
Health Insurance costs what it does primarily because of MEDICARE and MEDICAID. The government controls (and underpays) for services to those populations and guess where the providers shift the cost? This has been worsened by the growing 65+ age group and the expansion of medicaid. Now add all of the illegals and uninsured. Those WITH insurance truly support the system. If we go to a national health insurance plan, controlled by the government, the quality and accessability of care will plummit, over time. The best and the brightest will simply NOT GO INTO MEDICINE (to work for the government!). They’ll become attorneys instead – GRAB YOUR WALLETS!
AND, don’t expect it (National Health Insurance) to be any cheaper! Look at what’s happening in Massachusetts! The cost is certainly NOT going down!
Exactly. Plus, it is illegal for doctors to charge people less than they charge Medicare.
What would happen to the price of TV’s if the govt gave everyone $2,000 to go out and buy the TV of their choice? You wouldn’t be able to find one under $2,000, that’s what.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t my employer offer “Major Medical” coverage a few decades back and I was responsible for the cost of routine annual physicals and minor ailments? As a percent of my wages the cost of healthcare was minimal. Again, my memory be have failed me but I thought that a major portion of annual health care cost was the annual physical. Perhaps we should go back to “Major Medical” coverage and pay for the little stuff ourselves.
Al you are correct. You can go back to Hillary’s college days to see how far left she is. Her socialist/communist thinking does not fit in with America’s values. However, her friends on the left are repeating the mantra so often that some Americans believe in this entitlement unfortunately true American History is not taught in our schools any longer and the willing accomplises in the media also believe that Liberal/Progressive or whatever else they want to call themselves, crap.
