Universal Health Care: The Diagnosis

Health care should be a right, not a luxury. I'm not sure why this frightens people. If anything, we at least need universal coverage for children who have no choice but to depend on parents or guardians for coverage.

I think it sounds scary, but anything Obama has been coming up with scares me. People shouldn't be forced to have health care, nor fined if they don't have it - sounds socialist to me

I would like to read some more stories about those who benefited from this plan. This is the first state so of course it will be a learning process. However, It is one step in the right direction!

What is it about anything in the US having to do with a government benefit turns out to be punishing and humiliating? There are basically 3 ways to get insurance, gov't group coverage, individual coverage and employer provided group coverage. Currently, we have all 3 in the US. the ONLY one that works well for everyone involved is the gov't group coverage. It's the cheapest and most comprehensive. The MA plan is frightening. Why can't we us the UK or France or Canada as an example?

I dunno, seems anythign the Givernment gets involved in gets screwed up, just put CAPS on what doctors and hospitals can charge and insurance premiums. Jiff www.Privacy-Center.net
