FACT: All birth control has been available for free at Planned Parenthoods for 5 years and it hasn't slowed the rate of pregnancies.



If they don't use it then it doesn't cost anything.

. said:I doubt that the government can run a tighter ship in terms of bookkeeping than private companies.

The only case I can think of where the .gov may be cheaper is the one where they actually provide the healthcare , the VA. Medicare is administered by private companies.

If insurance companies were to sell identical products to all comers (ie. no preexisting conditions, age discrimination, etc), that's about as cheap as it gets.



The government ought to be providing the care too.

The ins. companies gotta take their profit from somewhere, m8, and it comes from higher premiums to consumers (after all, you have to buy it somewhere) and poor service.

If the gov't wants to safe money on back office processing they can outsource the actual processing to private companies (which rarely works out cheaper in the long run, but that's another thread).

. said:Because single payer healthcare for a person who pays no taxes is free healthcare. And when it's free there's no incentive to reduce use at all. Which means costs will skyrocket even more than they already are.



Morally everybody is entitled to the best health care possible.

(Costs will actually decrease because the poor will take proper preventative care measures instead of wandering into the ER for every little thing. But this doesn't matter.)

. said:My variant on that plan is to simply have the government design a half dozen high deductible policies. Insurance companies could sell only those plans as their high deductible offerings. Price is up to them.

The idea here is to get a bit of free market going by getting them to sell identical products. They can fight over the efficiency of their back office.



Nah, I'm afraid the "free market" is shitty and inefficient when it comes to government-mandated insurance (see also Insurance, Automobile).

The whole point of a government system is to get rid of the private for-profit bloat that is present in the current system.

If only 50% of people have a high enough income to pay federal income taxes then that would indicate a need to increase the median income.

You can buy your own teeth cleaning and aspirins.



That's a good start. Eventually I'd like the deductible to come way down.

This insurance scheme would be owned and operated by the government and premiums would be based on income.

Emergency room only, no, no (psychiatric help from doctors only), no, no and no.

That's where it ends.

In the Panama Canal Zone, a US Territory, to two American Citizen parents. Fully documented, nothing hidden, no need to search out microfilm newspapers to find hearsay from an ashamed grandparent.


False. The area containing the hospital was transferred from the civil part of the Panama Canal Zone to the naval part when Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8981 on December 17, 1941. McCain was born in 1936.



I'm convinced.

The Mexicans have committed an act of war buy breeching our border so we have every right to push them south. The Baja would serve are a reparation for the expense.

Or, for the sane amongst us, you could have better relations and relaxed border and immigration controls between your two countries. Then you'd have the entire Mexican coast to share!

. said:Singapore does not have a minimum wage. They also have low taxes, low government spending, pro-business capitalism, crush labor unions, virtually no welfare safety net, and a focus on practical results instead of idealism.

They also impose moral order, and emphasize a traditional family culture, so people lean on their families instead of government spending. Death penalty for drug dealers, homosexuality is illegal, censorship means TV programs can't glamourize homosexuality.

RESULT: Singapore is now the richest country in Asia. Singapore has 2% unemployment, 45 years of non-stop explosive economic growth on a tiny island with no resources, universal healthcare, top performing public schools, safe clean neighborhoods, low divorce rate, high savings rate, rated one of the least corrupt countries in the world, one of the few countries with AAA credit ratings from all 4 ratings agencies, and NO SLUMS.



Doesn't sound like a worthwhile tradeoff to me.
