Why doesn't obama...

Ok, this seems like a good idea to me, but I don't know what you guys think.

Instead of completely changing the health care system, why not just give every American a decent wad of cash that must be spent on health insurance per month. This way people would get the care they need, the insurance companies would prosper (sure, they're filthy rich as it is, but if it helps the people as well why not?), and not much* money would be spent in the end.

*Ok, that actually would come out to a hefty sum, but nothing compared to what they're proposing.

All I read was "Obama", "give", and "money". Sounds like a good idea.

Because we're not in Europe. v.v

And who do you think pays for that "wad" of chash?! The government doesn't pay for anyting. The people do.

Because every, well most, Americans wouldn't spend a "wad of cash" on health insurance.

This would not fix the numerous problems the system has including its increasing costs, the loopholes, as well as distasteful practices like the ones that relate to pre-existing conditions.sSubZerOo

But how does government run healthcare fix the rising costs and all the other problems?

Like I said, there are better options out there, but I think anything besides universal healthcare would work.

So, basically you want him to tax the rich to pay for the healthcare of the poor. That's exactly what he wants to do.Rocky32189

[QUOTE="yarou1000"] yes but comparatively health care is way cheaper in the UK and Canada than in the US because our doctors and hospitals are paid through the government, instead of being paid by the patient... i don't understand the doctors working in private hospitals; your profession is to help sick people, but you seem to only be doing it for the money. Money should never come in the way of a persons life, and i feel that every core country, except for the US has gotten this message, while the US is trying to make as much profit as possible off of their own citizen's injuries...yarou1000

[QUOTE="yarou1000"][QUOTE="wiistation36000"] When you figure in malpractice insurance, you start to sympathize with the docs.

wiistation36000

i know you didnt but that is what happens when money is the thing that is keeping people alive or not... and people are always changing... they need to realize something a man born in the late 1800's realized, that goes by the name of Norman Peale, and he said "change your thoughts and you change your world" ...

How about we spend more money teaching kids how to be healthy and such, that way, when they get older, they don't NEED to go to the doctor so much?cell_dweller
