do republicans agree that rising health care costs are dangerous to the USA’s economy?
the only people benefiting from the current health care system are: drug companies raising the price of drugs that sell for dollars less all over the world, doctors performing multiple unnecessary (or unsure) tests for extra money, and insurance companies that raise rates and deny applications for the sick and elderly. these uncontrolled costs lead straight to bankruptcy like GM & Chrysler are dealing with.
so do republicans agree changes to the USA’s healthcare system are necessary?
The CARE end of the equation is really out of the hands of the government except for regulations concerning health and safety. What’s at issue is the INSURANCE end of the equation. The only practical way to deal with this end of the problem is to either have a Universal HEALTH INSURANCE system to pay the bills, or to super regulate the private insurance industry by forcing them to accept boiler plate policies that can be improved, but not diminished. Most states have done this with auto insurance and with homeowners insurance and insurance companies manage to make money on both of these items. But let’s be real…..the GOP is dead set against doing what needs to be done. Somehow they’ll manage to torpedo anything that may be good for the public. Case in point: The VA buys drugs via contract with the drug companies. Veterans can get a 30 day supply of almost any drug for as little at $12.00. The drug companies make big bucks at even this price. Why can’t the general public have this kind of deal? Answer….the reactionaries of the GOP are against the idea. Instead they stuck us with their numb nuts Medicare part ‘D’, thus screwing our old folks with a useless 10% reduction…big deal! Realistically we may never get the deal we’re entitled to until and unless the Democrats and the reasonable republicans grow a pair, tell the ‘conservative’ weasels to stick it where the sun don’t shine and change this abortion of a non-system to something that reflects the 21st century. My opinion!
