A healthcare system based on private insurance is not mutually exclusive from a universal healthcare system.

I've long said our healthcare system could easily transfer into one based on the Dutch model.

KamalaCare would get rid of PRIVATE health insurance..

WASHINGTON — When 2020 presidential hopeful Kamala Harris came out for single-payer health care that would replace private insurance, she took a side in what is emerging as one of the sharpest fault lines in the Democratic field.

"The idea is that everyone gets access to medical care, and you don't have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require,” Harris said in a town hall in Iowa on Monday on CNN.

Will Kamala say she's changed her mind on this subject too?

care what you think.

Leave my healthcare alone!

I am a veteran...if I had to depend on the VA health care...I would have been dead years ago.


Be careful what you ask for.

So much this.

Got my knee replaced with private insurance, going to have my shoulder replaced with private insurance also.

My Mom, who is 82, is on Medicare and they denied cataract surgery. Said " she didn't really need it". Some government flunky decided, without a medical degree or even seeing her, that it was un necessary.

Newsflash: Private insurance does this as well. They're a for-profit industry. They only make money off you if they payout less than you pay in. They're free to deny to procedures or medications as they see fit.

And if you asked people in France, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, or numerous other nations with universal healthcare whether they'd have their system or ours, what do you think they would say?

…and again name one entity that the government is in charge of that isn’t a cluster fluck circus? Everything they touch turns to garbage. My gawd are you blind? Just look at how they’ve managed the VA over the years.

I want less government control in my life not more and I think most people would agree with me. But we all know how much you love the democrat communist party and enjoy being controlled by your handlers. You toe their line every day relentlessly, almost as though it’s your job😳

Then that would mean you have lousy insurance with a lousy company.

The majority of the country has been in support of universal healthcare since at least 2020.

Who's paying for your socialist wet dream?

Increasing share of Americans favor a single government program to provide health care coverage

Majority in U.S. Still Say Gov't Should Ensure Healthcare

Universal healthcare is a complete and utter failure. Just ask Canada or any vet about government provided healthcare. Our healthcare will go to # if the government’s in charge of it. Does anyone know of one single thing that the government is in control of that isn’t a clown show and mismanaged?

And pew research is a joke, not the least bit credible in any sense of the word.

One thing we know is that the USA will need to print a lot of money, if it plans on taking care of every U.S. citizen's healthcare needs.

The CBO (Congressional Budget Office) says the government will need to kick in an additional $3 TRILLION, and everyone who is paid to provide healthcare in America would need to take a pay cut. (Unless they service the rich.)

For several reasons, cutting the pay of Doctors and Nurses would not be a good move.

It depends on what they need and how "connected" they are. If France, Japan, South Korea, Netherlands are like Canada, you're in trouble if you have early cancer. You are wait-listed. Cancer spreads while you wait a few months.

Do none of these idiots pay attention to the current state of single payer.

My Wife is an R.N with almost 30 years of experience in 3 major hospitals, with a list of qualifications long as your arm.
Would you care to talk to her about socialized medicine ? I can let her borrow my keyboard for a bit.

Again...the key is ensuring CHOICE is available.
I use the V.A. for some things, and Private Insurance for others.

Britain’s NHS was once idolized. Now its worst-ever crisis is fueling a boom in private health care

My Mom, who is 82, is on Medicare and they denied cataract surgery. Said " she didn't really need it". Some government flunky decided, without a medical degree or even seeing her, that it was un necessary.

I on the other hand, have private insurance and can go to the Doctor for a runny nose of I want and they cover it.

Socialized medicine doesn't work. Right now the American taxpayer is footing the bill for millions of illegals who are flooding hospital ERs, so with people already paying over $11,00 per year to maintain their way of life, you want to pay more for a government run healthcare system.

Ask Canada or the UK if they're happy with how it's turned out.

Those countries FORCED people into a single system. That was a mistake. A mistake Kamala-Walz wants to duplicate.

THEY ARE FOOLS. Harris-Walz = Worst Choice Americans Could Make!

How can universal healthcare be sustainable with open borders?

Just think, for once.

I see how that is going in Canada.

Coming soon: home visits from the assisted suicide pads.

Link.

I was in the Army. That's basically government run healthcare.

The doctors sucked. The care sucked. The waits for healthcare sucked.

The bureaucracy to get approved for the healthcare sucked.

The equipment and facilities sucked.

The government deciding if you were qualified to get healthcare sucked.

This is what Harris wants, and she wants it paid for by US taxpayers
for everyone, including ILLEGALS, which means taxes go up and the cost
of everything goes up.

She's a damn socialist hell bent on breaking America.

You're not supposed to think. Thinking for yourself is bad.

It's all based on feelz.

Nope but I know how it works. I also know that there’s good insurance and bad insurance. I’ve seen both. I can’t imagine how bad it would be under government control. You have to be a brain dead idiot to want more government controlling your life.

Name something that the government controls that isn’t f’d up and mismanaged? You don’t seem to want to answer the question.

Insurance is a multi faceted huge conglomerate. I can tell you with 100% accuracy that the government would FUBAR this to never-land
