Question by bigj: How can a government run health insurance entity “compete” with private companies? Will it pay taxes? It boggles my mind that the proponents of a government run health insurance entity would actual state that this entity would bring competition to the insurance arena. How would these private businesses compete with someone who [...]

Look at what happened at Walter Reed — a government-run health care facility. Liberals: if the government can’t give adequate medical care to our heroic soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan … what makes you think it can take care of YOU?

Tom Daschel’s book spells out the details of Obama’s plans for your health care and if you are over 50 you might want to start paying attention. The older you get, the less your government will be willing to spend on you. They feel it is your responsibility to get out of the way once [...]

It seems to me that if you tax me to build a road I will get to use the road. If you tax me for the police department I may need to use the police department. If you tax me for the fire department I may need to use the fire department. But if you [...]

“Proponents of government competition in a “national health insurance exchange” claim that it would enhance personal choice and health plan competition. That is highly unlikely. Rather, such a system would impose federal control over virtually every aspect of private health insurance, rendering it virtually indistinguishable from government insurance except for its direct financing. Congress would [...]

I am trying to educate myself more on the government health care bill. The question that I want to know but cannot find anywhere is, what kind of coverage are people going to have with the government insurance? Also- If anyone knows of any good sites where I can get factual info that would be [...]

Too much money is spent foolishly by the US both here and abroad. I would like to see the focus shift to take better care of the people in this country with universal health care coverage.

My parents were low-middle class with no health insurance. But when I was young, my parents could afford to take me to see the doctor without breaking the bank. Charity hospitals were common and often run by religious groups. Doctors were the ones profiting from the years they spent in medical school. Since then, government [...]

So since health care is necessary for an acceptable standard of living we should get involved to make sure everyone has enough? But what about food, clothing and housing? Those are necessary, should we all have grocery insurance and a govt. clothing allowance? Where does it stop?

Some economist have argued that if the government wishes to subsidize health care, it should instead provide predetermined sums of payments (based on the type of health care problems experienced) directly to patients, who then would be free to choose their health care providers. Whether or not you agree, can you give an economic rationale [...]

If Republicans truly believe that government could never run a good health care plan, should Republican members of Congress say “thanks, but no thanks” to the federal plan that each of them is already entitled to? Shouldn’t these stalwart conservative legislators be refusing government-run healthcare for themselves? Do any of them refuse to accept the [...]

Why trust private insurance companies with your life, especially in today’s current conditions? They have revealed themselves as a large business making machine, with profit first, people and health care last. History has shown that government has stepped in on more than one occasion when the private sector failed to take care of it’s business. [...]

Everything they do turns into a money pit. Wouldnt the usual government waste cancel out any saving from removing profit from health care? What have you seen the federal government do that gives you enough confidence in them to believe they can efficiently run health care for 300 million people?

There’s a lot of talk in Washington about increased federal spending on health care. Can anyone give me some numbers(like percentages and statistics) and some sites that show how much power the government ALREADY has in health care? Thank you.

I want to know why so many people thing government run health care is the only option to solving health care problems. I just don’t trust the government. Everywhere you have government run health care, you hear stories of rationing, etc. Why would we want this? I am against, but am willing to listen to [...]
