Could we get a unified health plan going using one half of years war costs?

by bringing home the troops we could use 1/2 of a years war costs and impliment a unified health care system in america
Could we get a unified health plan going using one half of years war costs?
Reading some of the opinions here makes me wonder how seriously brainwashed some people are.


Like if socialized medicine was communism and not common practice in democratic countries like Norway, Italy, Great Britain, Spain, Sweden, and multiple others.


People that do not have any problem with public education but raise hell when talked about socialized medicine.


That are concerned with terrorism but do not realize that it did not create nearly a minimal fraction of the victims we have every year due to a horrible and expensive health system, and a war in Iraq that caused more US victims that all the terrorist victims in the US in history, even without counting all the native victims in Iraq, multiple times higher, something that does do not seem to count for these people.





The logic of socialized medicine is that while you are healthy you work and pay taxes, and if you get sick then others pay while you can't. I pay $3500 of premiums for health insurance every year and that is just a start point for a nightmare of Premiums, deductibles, co-pays, percent covered, so that you need to be a complete expert or just avoid going to the doctor. When you end NOT GOING to the doctor because the cost is too high and you wait until you are sure it is serious enough... it is likely too late.





Worried of somebody taking advantage of you? Who, illegal Mexicans that come here mainly to WORK, most times for misery salaries? They would likely not get this benefits if they are illegal anyway.





We are a great country with institutions that work pretty well, why do you think we could not make it work when so many other counties have much better medical systems?





The US medical system is ranked 37 in the World! Pretty bad for a country that is the leader in most other fields.


And that is without consideration for the cost. If cost is brought into the equation, it is THE WORST in the world per dollar expended.





Just a puzzle that may help you understand. Why is it that it is cheaper to go to other countries to have medical treatment than the same treatment WITH a medical plan in the US?





And why is it that even if you decide to go to another country for treatment, pay for it yourself, then your Medical Plan will not reimburse you at all?





You guessed it right, the Medical System is like the Mafia, where you pay just to get Protection, just the same way the Mafia used to do.
Reply:How christianfamilyvalue oriented all these KONS are that just want to kill kill kill.





half a year would defiately do a lotof good.
Reply:No because then the part that would be cut is the money we send to European nations to help fund their militaries because all their funding goes to national health care plans.
Reply:Weeding out terrorists is more important. Let me worry about my own health care.
Reply:take that 1/2 a year war cost... AND THEN half of what Americans NOW spend a year on health insurance ALONE...(in other words I pay 300 a month, but instead I pay 150 a month more in taxes and I don't need that insurance anymore)





that would probably do it...





and the people could keep other half of what people spend on health insurance... and wouldn't have to pay any future costs... (so I would keep the other 150)
Reply:I'd rather have soldiers kill terrorists. I can provide my own health care by having a job with the benefits, or just saving money and paying for a fee for service.
Reply:If it comes from government, it can't be good. AND if they say that's all it'll cost, count on it cost 2 to 3 times that amount in the end.
Reply:it will take more than that.


if you want universal health care, get ready to get taxed to death
Reply:Some of us dont want it.
Reply:No thanks, I'll take dead terrorists to socialism ANY day !
Reply:Yup, that's a great start. You'd only be about $7trillion short of completion but... WOW!!!
