Fair access to health care, at reasonable prices, and without unreasonable restrictions placed upon it, is a right and not a privilege. People should not die, in the United States of America, because they could not afford basic medical care and treatment. People should not have to choose between putting food on the table and having treatment for medical issues. Health care should not focus more on prolonged treatment than cures and they should not be about excessive profit. In fact, running health care as a not-for-profit industry would be an excellent change from the current system.
As it currently stands there are plenty of people who either do not have health care, have over priced health care, or are denied treatment under health care and are fully employed people.
That's insane.
We're also a nation who is reportedly one of the most advanced nations to have ever existed on this planet, yet plenty of our allies are ahead of us in health care on all qualifiers and not just social ones.
Again, that's insane.
Reform would be better than government regulation. Government regulation would be better than government ran. Another that improves the situation would be better than doing nothing. Any improvement, at all, is better than doing nothing and letting folks suffer.
Adding into the options for folks, making pricing easy for folks, all while doctors and nurses make healthy wages and hospitals focus on treatment and curing, instead of guarding profit, would be an excellent change.
Civil discourse, honest debate, and a desire on all sides to enact change and bring fairness to health care would be the best of all.
Please, people, think and keep in mind that we're suppose to be a nation of We the People, not We the Corporations, and that what is best for most of us is best for all of us. I don't care of it is privatized reform, government regulation, or government ran, but we need some change in the health care insurance industry and we need it now.
