[Vision2020] Fw: RE: SCOTUS did not finish with the HL decision

There he goes again!

Hi Roger,

Would you like to reconsider your ignorant comments about single payer health systems--one of the most successful health delivery programs in human history? These and other government-run programs are at least half the cost of ours and produce better results.

The VA has traditionally had these results until the Bush, Jr. administration, whose two wars brought 30,000 plus severely wounded vets into the system. The VA budget was increased, but not enough to handle the extra case load. It was this burden that encouraged VA officials to start cheating.

By the way, the core of Obamacare, offered initially by the American Enterprise Institute, is that Americans would buy health insurance on a FREE MARKET exchange, which will still, even in the best of times, cost more than single payer.

Nick

Not exactly.  Single payer assumes that people are too dumb to handle their own insurance. A single payer system runs the risk of turning out like the VA system. There are a lot of things that could be done. One of these would be to give a tax credit that can be used for health insurance only. This leaves the particulars up to the individual and the insurance companies and maintains the free market system. There are other ways I am sure to do this.
There is a break in the hay hauling for a few days.
