Have any of you liberals ever taken a minute to think about just who is going to die if we de-regulate health care?
Most of America is insured as it is, and the status quo isn't making a whole lot of money. Now let's do the following:
- Stop forcing all these Americans to pay the Medicare/aid taxes that they're getting nothing for. Their bills will also be lower, because they're not picking up the slack for treatments that medicare/aid only partially paid for.
- Deregulate the insurance carriers so that the customers can actually choose what they do and do not want to be covered for.
- End the war on drugs, and thus make all the drugs cheaper.
- Reform the tort system so that doctors don't have to pay six figures in malpractice insurance every year.
Insurance will become very, very affordable, and many more Americans will have it.
The only people that won't have it under such conditions are the dregs of society. Drug addicts, lazy bums, criminals, those with horribly untreatable physical conditions...these are the people who are going to die. You know good ol' middle class hard-working Joe? Joe is going to benefit from this system. He's not going to get hurt. You know that perennially unemployed pothead friend-of-a-friend of yours who sleeps on the couch all the time? He's going to be screwed.
It is so freaking easy to succeed in a free market. The only people that are going to get the shaft are going to be the losers that frankly most of us do not want in society anyway. That is who socialism helps.
Still sound like a good idea?
