They also have - rationing - in Great Britain.
It reduces costs.
--------
The rich however get the best care that money can buy.
You should head on over to the UK and check it out.
It's called the NHS.
Need a hip replacement? Good luck.edit on 28-9-2012 by Eurisko2012 because: (no reason given)
"The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics," S&P said in a statement.
For example, S&P now assumes that tax cuts brought in under President George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003 would not, as planned, expire by 2012 because of staunch Republican opposition to any measure that would raise revenues.

That's a lie Eurisko! There is no such thing a death panel in Obamcare!
How much longer will you be allowed to lie to people?
Yes there is.
There is a 15 member panel in Washington DC that will do the rationing.
Go check it out.

Point the way.
I need to see this for myself.
Please show me where to find them.
In the meantime, some light reading for you...Congratulations Jan Brewer, your death panel was effective. A patient has died.
See what happened there? A Republican governor sent someone home to die because they were not worth the money to fix. That is your death panel in action right now in the real world.

So far the changes that have been made to healthcare have been positive. In 2014, is when the rest of the bill will be implemented. I say give the entire health care bill a chance. Lets give it a few years and see the effect before criticizing it. If it does create a massive public outrage, it will force the government to alter or change it for the better. To many people are living without healthcare coverage, which is really a disgrace for a civilized society. To turn your back on the sick and dying because their jobs don't have health care benefits, they're unemployed or unable to pay for health insurance, is really turning your back on human rights. America is always pointing the finger at countries with poor human rights, we'll it's about time we look at our own short comings in that department.
I remember when some people were against medicare because it was a government program. Ask any elderly person to give it up, and I bet you won't have any takers.

I agree. Give it a few years. There will be an outcry over the current program, but never enough to overturn it. Once that is realized, then folks will not only be open to, but welcome to, the idea of a single payer. It will happen and it will be fabulous!!!
Romney's plan of sending sick people to the ER with a cold are dead and gone.
Send mildly sick folks to a general practitioner or nurse...let's reduce ER visits and save them for seriously ill Americans. That right there would save hundreds of billions.

With fewer doctors and millions more patients get used to long lines and rationing.
Get used to the term - Medical Tourism -.
Canada has it.

So neither choice is any good.
But I know darn well, Obama isn't going to repeal the healthcare issue. and since what I've been learning, in dealing with these from our accountant, It has the POTENTIAL to put my company out of business, I cannot vote for him.
(That is just one of many reasons, but I really need this job!!!)

Indeed... This is an election where personal like, political opinion and debates or sound bytes really don't rule the day as they have in almost every other election in US History. In this one...one group can and may be the determining factor in most people's decisions, as you discovered.
..The Accountants tell the tale... In 1992 I recall the saying for Daddy Bush.. "It's the economy stuipid!!",. It was then and Clinton worked hard to fix it! Now...two following Presidents have no only undone all the positive that came before but sunk us FAR FAR beyond anything Daddy Bush or Clinton saw in their worst nightmares of fiscal chaos.
Collapse doesn't come in Republican or Democrat. Collapse comes to all and to all, decent living will end. I agree with you...what we HAVE HAD NOW...has absolutely 100% not worked and I'm damn sure now voting 4 more years of floppng around and trying this or that. 4 more years of blind trial and error will error us out of a Nation worth living in, IMO. Obamacare can go first.

I know I'll get flamed for this but..
Most people in the U.S. when it is explained properly want Single Payer Healthcare. The Public Option would have put us on the road to this.
The country can not afford Health Insurance Companies. They are irresponsible and not cost affective.
Single-payer health care
