Some very simple truths:
1. The more people government agrees to cover, the more it will cost. The price per person may decrease some because of bigger risk pools, but only if the people who join or are forced into the risk pool, have lower risks that the others in the pool.
2. To decrease the cost of health care other than forcing lower risk people into the government risk pool, it would require less money paid to those who provide health care, health equipment, or drugs, or rationing of some type. The government when it controls all health care will set salaries and profits for doctors, nurses, drug companies, hosptials, equipment manufacturers, everyone. Is that what you really want?
3. Those who say we can save money by including the uninsured because they get more expensive health care anyway in emergency rooms are forgetting the only reason they can get free health care in emergency rooms is because the government has ordered that that they get free health care in emergency rooms.
4. Those who support the health care law always point to the GREAT provisions in it like a ban on pre existing conditions, no lifetime caps, and children up to 26 year old children converage. They act like thos are free. They are not. Insurance companies have to raise premiums to cover those issues and they will and ARE. It is really that great that the government requires coverages that NECESSARILY raises premiums for everyone? It is like everything else the government does that are not basic necessary services like national defense... wealth redistribution.
5. Why should the government require me to purchase insurance for things I do not have risk for such as pregnancy? It is merely a form of taxation.
6. Who says everyone has a right to health care? It is a noble goal but is it a right?
7. Do those in favor of national health care have any objection to illegal aliens getting it free?
Here is the answer: rationing whether you like it or not.
