France, which has the #1 rated health care system (we are #27) pays half what we pay. The only question I have is why do you think getting the government involved will make that any cheaper or better? These are the same people who bought the $600 toilet seats and the $300 hammer. Maybe if you could shoot all the lobbyists and lawyers it might work but you would still have all those gold bricking congressmen trying to get more federal bucks into their district. If you think that $27 Tylenol in the hospitial is expensive just wait until the government gets a hold of all of the health care. The $27 bottle of Tylenol is exactly the problem, but it's an example. You know how many people pay their medical bills? 2/3. It's up to these people to pay for the others. That's why medical bills contain prices like this. Free enterprise, profits must be made, and who is to pay for those who don't? You and I. We pay more than any other country for medical care. What's YOUR idea? Throwing stones isn't a solution. Sending about 15 million illegals back to Mexico would be a good start. By the way, "just wait until the government gets a hold of all of the health care" is a scare tactic. Stop being a junior Sara Palin. There's nothing wrong with valid scare tactics. You should be afraid of rattlesnakes and rabid dogs. |
