RE: RED ALERT ECONOMIC COLLAPSE UPDATE
Wow. They can't pay medicaid. Sounds like maybe Obamacare was the final straw. I wonder who is next. I guess having shitty healthcare is supposed to make up for having no economy? Let's just let the government do what they do best. Don't control economy. Let the free market handle that. Just protect borders and send violent criminals to jail.
And, of course, without healthcare, let the poor people die.
It's a double edged sword.
Obamacare was the open option: everyone takes part and nobody wins. Trumpcare is the closed one: a bunch of people go into a room, close the door and come out with a bad deal. It's an open and shut case: the government CANNOT provide healthcare. A free market can.
I find that odd considering European countries and Canada have been providing health care for their citizens for years. It comes down to the question of if basic health care is going to be about profit or about people.
I read some news a few months back about canadians crossing the border to get around the long lines if they need care for anythinh very serious. I'm sure Europe has its problems too. It always looks better from over here right?
I think I'd be interested to hear what regular Canadian citizens think about their health care system. I don't trust the news to tell an unbiased story any more.
I don't think that any of the healthcare systems are perfect by any means, but most of them are better than the for profit health insurance based system that we have here in the U.S. When an insurance company can deny you coverage for procedures ordered by a doctor, simply because it affects their profit margin, something is wrong with that system.
All the government has is a redistribution system that does not work well. Steemit has a better redistribution system. Maybe a Steemit health program where users can put some of their steem in case of emergency? That would be totally optional and there could be witnesses to verify.
That's a pretty good idea. A different kind of health savings account.
