I'd say that it provides arguments for the following.It tells me the doctors are subsidizing your 700.00 root canal by bilking the insurance companies out of 800.00 while the insurance companies are bilking their participants out of outrageous amounts and co-pays that would equal that 700.00, so CEOs and high paid staff can sit around making decisions about your health. The dentist told me that an implant would be around 3500.00 and the ins., would pay about 700.00. My Buddy got his implants done for 2200.00 cash each. What this tells me is we need not for profit medical and dental paid for by taxes on us and our employers, wiping the greedy insurance companies and dental co-ops and HMOs off the face of the earth. Scum sucking pigs all. Anyone that makes a living from other peoples misery deserves the fires of hades. Socialized medicine would eliminate that for the most part. Yeah we'd have to pay a few mor buckaroos in taxes, but the money we'd save in insurance and co-pays would more than make up for it. the age old dillema is that the healthy youth don't want to pay for the unhealthy seniors, not realizing I guess, that someday they will be old and in need of more medical.
1. Obama and McCain are really both idiots when they focus on making sure that everyone has health insurance (as opposed to health care)
2. That, as Medicare/Medicaid would have probably paid the 2,200, possibly even more, that Socialized Medicine will never work. Neither will having everyone have insurance. Not if the actual goal is to keep prices low.
Both Socialized Medicine and Health Insurance create artificial distortions in the market.
