    Default Is single payer healthcare what you really want?

    all humans should be treated when they need treatment


    allowing insurance companies to rise the cost of medical treatment simply by being inbetween the patient and the treatment so some people can profit from it is utter stupidity and a flaw of capitalism that needs to be fettered

    Yeah, because it is the insurance companies raising the costs.

    No, we do not want single payer.

    Not if it costs someone else that isn't getting the treatment. You or anyone else can get all the medical treatment you want when YOU pay for it. If it costs me, fuck you. Do without.

    We allow selfish, evil ppl among us to dictate who gets treated, and who dies, is how we do it in this country. Death panels schmeath panels.

    people don't have to use medical insurance if they don't want to

    If you don't think medical insurance is treating you fairly, then pay cash. And no I am not talking about catastrophic health conditions. Just pay cash for your prescriptions. Pay cash for your routine doctor appointment. Pay cash for your lab tests. You don't need insurance for that.

    But, too many people have it in their head that they shouldn't pay for their healthcare

    There's nothing selfish or evil about someone not getting what THEY don't pay for. Those demanding care then expecting someone else to foot the bill are the selfish, evil ones.

    Too many have it in their head that someone else should be forced to pay for it on their behalf.

    Good for them. If you don't like the system, pay cash or STFU. Stop demanding someone else foot the bill for you and the rest of the freeloaders unwilling to do for themselves and their own.

    Apparently that's the stance of the parents of those babies that refuse to provide to their own children what is their responsibility to provide.
