People working in health care are as motivated by self-interest as anyone else. This isn't a knock on you, but I bet that you'll take as high a wage/income as you can get someone to pay you. I would too.
No, they wouldn't cut their profits just to be nice. Few people would. They will maximize their profits. But in a competitive market, that could require cutting prices. If a competitor is able to offer a better product at a lower price, you have to improve or risk losing market share.
Unfortunately, our health care industry is a government regulated cartel with high costs of entry. It is highly bureaucratized and does not truly follow the profit motive even though great wealth is earned. No plan of Obama is likely to reduce costs. The best that he could do would be to step away and allow market forces to work.
The reality, of course, is that few Americans want this. They have accepted the propaganda that health care could not be safe or affordable if the government didn't manage it. They compare U.S. health care to European socialism as if it's provided by the free market. Yet our health care systems are thoroughly fascist.
Sadly, market solutions aren't even on the table. Sadder yet, few people realize that fact.
I do not like progressive steps in the door. The government gets a foot in the door, next time two and BLAM the burglar is in the house.
xxFNORDxx what if they wanted the roads privatized? It isn’t like they had a choice in the matter. Also if you hate capitalism then you shouldn’t be driving a car in the first place.
..just another step toward SOCIALISM.
;(
I agree with almost everything he wrote, except for the part about voting. We the people did not vote for Bush. The Supreme Court did. He lost the popular vote, the electoral vote was in question.
I am amazed everyday by the number of people who are not horrified by this administration and who are willing to sit by quietly while our civil liberties are ripped from us one by one.
Instead of joining together to have these crooks removed from office, we allow them to seperate us further by distracting us with lesser arguments about trivial issues, such as gay marriage, flag burning, etc… WAKE UP PEOPLE.
Do you not realize that these are diversions.
We are involved in a war we cannot win. We don't even know who we are fighting. Iraq was not a "terrorist harboring nation". Insurgents and terrorists are not unilateral. There is a huge difference. If you aren't aware of this then you need to educate yourselves. Fast.
I believe Lee is correct. We need a call to action now. 2009 is a long ways away.
For anyone against socialized health care and all government run programs, I hope you know you’re hypocrites every time you drive on a socialized road, or expect the socialized fire department to help you with a burning house, or the socialized police to help you when your being robbed or the socialized military to fight terrorists, or when using the socialized water to take a shower or if you accept any money from social security or any benefits from Medicare when your of age…
actually 80% of candians tthink their health care system is better than USA’s and that’s kinda why canadians live three years longer than americans
ca2 – you are wrong on every point and the fact that competition creates a better product is proven everyday when people make a personal choice when buying any product, thus voting with their dollars. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of capitalism.
Just to be clear to everyone – here we have a prime example of a radical liberal actually admitting what this is really about. They don’t seek to make healthcare better – just government run and “free” to everyone.
Strange you would say that plus44, Dr. Anne Doig, the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association, said Canada’s health care system is sick and imploding. Unless you’re talking about 80% of the wealthy far-left elite in Canada. But they use private health insurance, not the health system for the common Canadian.
Only in Canada can a dog get a hip replacement faster than a human.
And the Public Option is government-run health insurance. Your DNC talking points should say that.
We have already taken the first step in getting rid of the republican (mis) administration.
Wow, quite wrong IMO. Opening Insurance across state lines (ie. De-regulation) will only give the insurance companies more power over the consumer as well as give large corporations a passport to cheaper, low-quality options as thier required coverage.
Government intervention is NOT the problem with our current healthcare system. It’s the LACK of regulation and consumer protection in the so called “market” that are the problem. Consumers DO NOT HAVE an open, afforadable, and free market.
The healthcare industry is like any other industry in America. It becomes a mad dash for profits. Oh, and I'm sure there's quite a few of those 'providers' that he met with that have deep pockets and put in on Obama's campaign fund.
WELL SAID!!!!!
There will be a lot more in the days to come…..
first of all the public option isn’t government run
• Should all of the Detroit Three's U.S. operations cease in 2009, the first-year total employment impact would be a loss of nearly 3 million jobs in the U.S. economy—including 239,341 direct job losses at the three auto companies; 973,969 secondary jobs at auto supply companies; and more than 1.7 million jobs at other employers from the reduced spending by those jobless workers. The employment picture would recover somewhat in 2010 and 2011, due to increased U.S. production by foreign-based automakers and dislocated workers finding new jobs.
• Even if just one or more of the auto companies goes down, the first-year losses would still be nearly 2.5 million jobs in the U.S. in the first year before coming back somewhat in the second and third years. That's because the domino effect of one major automaker going under would push several financially fragile auto suppliers into insolvency, which would interrupt production at the remaining car companies.
• In economic terms, a 50% cut in the Detroit Three's U.S. operations would reduce personal income by more than $125.1 billion in the first year, and $275.7 billion over three years.
Center for Automotive Research (CAR) Chairman David Cole, one of the authors of the study, says legislators and members of the public who doubt the U.S. auto industry is worth saving "should realize the costs of it failing are far greater than the $25 billion in loans the industry is seeking."
I was originally against the bailout but I think we are in the classic situation of being "in between a rock and a hard place". I don't think we can allow a serious chunk of our manufacturing capacity go down the tubes.
not at all public option= government funded insurance OPTION competing with private options that allows hospitals doctors etc to remain private
single payer- government funded sytem where hospitals and doctors remain privat
government run healthcare-govt. controls hospitals and doctors administer care
VERY DIFFERENT THINGs
