You are confusing Private Health "Care" wth Private Health "Insurance". The issue with Private health Insurance in US is that they have too much power and strong hold on doctors/hospitals etc and for them to make profits, EVERYTHIng is priced too high, EVERYTHING. So private health "insurance" has to die for this to be effective. They can exist only for supplemental stuff. No one is talking about taking away private health "care". You can still go to whoever you want.
- fernandotakai 7y agoi'm not! where i live, we have public health insurance and private health insurance (if you don't know, wikipedia has a good summary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistema_%C3%9Anico_de_Sa%C3%BAde https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistema_%C3%9Anico_de_Sa%C3%BA...). i can go to a public hospital and get most procedures done -- the problem is, a lot of them, specially electives, take a LONG time (sometimes, over a year). but i can do them, and i'm not going to get bankrupt if i get bitten by a snake. but i also have private health insurance -- i pay it myself for me and my wife. why? because sometimes, i don't wanna get into insane lines and wait for hours on ER. also, i can get elective procedures done a lot faster -- which means i'm not crowding our public health care system. what i mean is: everything i can do with my public heath insurance system i can also do with my private health care system. it's just a matter of how fast it is.
