Single payer isn't a redistribution of wealth. It is health insurance for everyone. It is never going to happen. It is campaign nonsense. The same as building a wall and Mexico will pay for it, 45% tariff, deport all illegal immigrants, or repealing Obamacare on their first day holding office. Stupidity isn't the sole beneficiary of either party. It is bipartisan.
I do not have a solution only perhaps a different view.
People are irresponsible. A young healthy person figures they do not need heath insurance-so they do not pay for it. If, they are in a car crash-unfortunately a common event ARE WE PREPARED TO CHECK THEIR RECORDS AND IF THEY DON'T HAVE INSURANCE TAKE THEM TO THE TRASH DUMP ALIVE OR DEAD? Of course the answer is no. So what happens is the cost of their care, is added to the cost of the other people who do pay. An unspoken reason why healthcare is so expensive. Another issue-COST IS NOT POSTED FOR HEALTHCARE. How many of us have asked the cost? TRY IT. iN MOST CASES YOU WILL GET A DIRTY LOOK-THE DOCTOR WILL BE OFFENDED. What else do you buy without asking the price? Asking about better, or perhaps less expensive ways of dealing with whatever the problem is. Also, we have a LIBERAL VIEW when it comes to health care. Why should someone NOT PAYING FOR IT, get the same care as someone who is paying the bill? Why is their not a blind rating system for each doctor?
