SENATE BILL: Reforming Atlasian Public Health Act of 2014 (Debating)

[TNF]

Offering an amendment (and shamelessly copying-and-pasting HR 676) to just give us single-payer already.

Not sure what the point of establishing exchanges is when we can solve this whole problem by just adopting single-payer. If that's an amendment, I'm objecting to it.

That is matter of opinion, hence the point.

Not amongst the sane.

Better idea:

No market mechanisms whatsoever
Care is free at the point of use
Free medicine for all
Public ownership of all medical facilities and Big Pharma
Medical facilities managed by those who work there
Funded entirely out of general revenues

The idea is that if you are pputting in money into an account with your name on it that you can check and feel is really yours, one will choose to avoid wasteful spending as opposed to being the beneficiary of "free money" from the government that isn't really free.

Why shouldn't people be entitled to "free money" for medical care? Arguing otherwise is pretty ing insane, if you ask me. I'm at a loss as to how anyone can defend profiteering off of sick people. Let's just stop with this inventing middle-men bullsh**t and eliminate the problem: profit in health care. Tax the sh**t out of the rich and give everyone free care at the point of use. This isn't hard.

I very strongly support Singapore-style anything, but their healthcare model in particular is a model to be followed.

I don't know if you're being a bit hyperbolic, but Singapore is incredibly authoritarian about some things. Are you sure you want that?

Will given Simfan's distaste for democracy, it wouldn't really be surprising.

Again, I'm not sure what the point would be in establishing the MediSave account system when we can just create a single-payer system.
