Democrats organize to fight back

Uh, and how are we denizens of McWages supposed to pay for health insurance. Is it OK for health insurance companies to deny based on pre existing conditions?  Now, here's one place I'll agree with you.  Let's abolish all laws that allow health insurance companies to remain an oligopoly.   I'll go further, let's abolish all laws that allow Big Pharma to remain an oligopoly. All laws that present barriers to entry in the health field should be abolished. I want to gore a bunch of sacred cows that way.

Quote:For those of us who care about societal efficiency and the financial stability of the health care system, though, private insurance does a very good job on cost controls.  Perhaps you don't look at your insurance statements, but I do, and typically private insurance pays about 1/3 of the health care providers' "normal" rates.

I see nothing wrong with single payer with deductibles.  I rather doubt anyone would go to a doc if they had to pay something instead of getting the latest heavy metal DVD.

Quote:There are absolutely problems with employers making decisions on employees' health care, but for medicare that permitted the individuals to choose their insurers, that problem would be ameliorated to a great extent.

Like someone else mentioned, that's a WWII price control legacy. It needs to go. I'll agree that price controls are utterly stupid. Look at how well they work in Venezuela.


For Eric, a special.   "Rent control is the next best thing besides bombing to destroy the housing stock."   Tongue
