If we banned health insurance, then the only option is a universal healthcare system. Else, most people are an accident away from bankrupcy.

60 years ago most americans did NOT have health insurance and healthcare was just fine and MUCH cheaper. Good things happen when people pay their own medical bills

1. They take better care of themselves and if they do get sick, they first try home remedies and that is usually better than going to some quack doctor.

2. They haggle over prices.

3. There is no fraud.

There is something to be said for trying to compensate for lack of quality statistical data by replacing it with sheer quantity of data.

Proof That Those International Health Care Comparisons Are Bogus
Life expectancy can vary widely in the United States, depending on where you live. That's the finding of a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The study also shows something else that wasn't necessarily intended by the authors — namely, that all those claims about how the U.S. spends more money on health care and gets worse outcomes than any other industrialized nation are nonsense...

This is where being able to think for yourself and actually question the biased numbers you are being spoon-fed becomes critical. :cool:

Said another way...the American conservative way:

I got mine...fuck everyone else.

The American right is absolute scum.

As a political philosophy, your group rates somewhere below the Nazi faction of 1930's Germany.

Oh, you are not correct...although you are "right."

I have lots besides the "name calling." (That expression requires two words to the educated, by the way.)

See...I am an educator to the intellectually disadvantaged.

And, I make lots of incisive comments on many things.

So...you are not correct...although as I said, you are "right" as in politically right. (Which means you are wrong!)

Problem is that the only way to get your idea to happen is to ban health insurance. I am not hearing anybody wanting this, I haven't even heard you say this directly. So banning health insurance is probably never going to happen, and moving to a universal healthcare system is a lot more doable. Second, 60 years ago, medical technology wasn't nearly as advanced or expensive, there was very little obesity, people lived only to their 60s which reduced end-of-life expenses. Today, we have expensive cancer treatments, expensive drugs, years of end-of-life care for 80 year old's, etc. In your perfect era of no insurance, health insurance arose because healthcare emergencies were often bankrupting people, and they wanted financial security when they got sick and get medical treatment even if it was expensive.

And all these "advances" we have today are scams. AMA approved Cancer treatments don't work. Most drugs are ineffective. Most people over 80 should not get medical treatment. THINK

With our amazing advances in cancer survival rates, I can assure you that cancer treatments do actually work. If you think that the medical industry is fraudulent, then why do you want the government to completely stop regulating it and get out of healthcare? Shouldn't the government crack down on these scams?
