[QUOTE]Originally posted by JohnB: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rmadison007: [qb] ...If you don't have valid insurance you will not recieve care... [/qb][/QUOTE]You really believe that? If that is the case, and it's the "fix-all" for the problem, remove the ability for Emergency care...it's as simple as that. But it won't happen. ;) And as for "if everyone is has health insurance and uses it, it will decrease the overall cost"...if that were true, as you drew a parallel to auto insurance, what happens when you "use" auto insurance...ie, file a claim? Overall costs go up, not down. No one applauds an individual for filing a claim, nor will they thank them for going to see a Doc everytime they have the sniffles. Treatments, and the type prescribed, will always be in direct corralation to the amount and limits that can be covered by the claim. It happens with insurance now, it will happen if there is a sort of "mandated" insurance. There will always be limits, no matter the type/coverage of insurance. So what will happen is as soon as someone hits their limit, they will wait...until it's an emergency, they go to the ER, and this cycle starts all over. Unfortunately, the answer for payment and reasoning for reform can't be, "you pay for it already, so why not pay for everyone elses". It doesn't work that way. If it did, reform would have taken place in the early 1900's, when two other presidents proposed it. In typical American fashion, we won't fix the problem (again, people not being responsible for themselves, but expecting the big brother Gov't to do it for them), we'll come up with a program to attempt to band-aid the issue. There are PLENTY of health insurance options out there, it's just that NO ONE wants to pay for them. Again Reggie, if your point stood true of "the more people, the less cost overall", why not force individuals to obtain healthcare that is currently available? The reason why they won't...simply because people don't want to pay for it, they want something for free, as everyone seems to want lately. Slowback isn't advocating reform, he's simply stating he's tired of footing the bill for others. Pipe dreams are nice, but eventually you have to see the light at the end of it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
