Nobody thinks this is good, but half of our voters think government is the problem, and these problems would disappear if the government would stop messing everything up and let businesses provide health care how they want.
- mfoy_ 9y agoI'm pretty sure "how they want" looks exactly like it does right now, with the only change being the option to refuse treating uninsured emergency cases.
- beguiledfoil 9y agoThey also don't want to be "forced" to buy insurance.
- mikeash 9y agoYou don’t have to convince me! I think socialized medicine is the way to go. But I see enough from the other side to have an idea of the thinking there. Part of the reasoning is that prices are high because of excessive regulation, like that requirement to treat all emergency cases. Get rid of those and prices will become affordable, the theory goes. I don’t think that would help nearly enough to make it work, but others clearly disagree.
