Describe "national healthcare". I see people who like to bitch about the US throwing this term around a lot, but what do you mean by it? One single, state-organized health care provider that gets funded 100% by other taxes or a flat-fee contribution that is the same for everybody? State-set price controls? Price controls on what - costs of procedure or insurance plan? What about coverage of those plans, determined by the state?
- cmircea 14y agoState organized and owned healthcare. You pay for it as a taxpayer and don't have to worry about going bankrupt because of a disease that can happen to anybody. For an example, the UK's NHS. Private healthcare is still perfectly legal and fine, as is private health insurance, if you deem the state services are not suitable for you. Hospitals should be helping people, not ripping them off >.<
