Here's a start....removal of personal freedom. How about ignoring the Constitutional process and failure to accurately represent the Will of Some Ofthe People?
Boat, please explain in detail, why a nationalized healthcare plan will be better for me,
It's not about you or me, it's about the health of the country
will not limit or reduce my access to quality healthcare,
Your access (and mine too) is already reduced because of over crowded emergency rooms. Last year I took my mother who had a severe gash on her leg to an emergency room on a Sunday for care. She is 80. I had her sit in the car until the facility was ready to recieve her, didn't want her exposed to all the people who were there with colds and flu like symptoms becuase they didn't have insurance to go to a doctor, other than an emergency room. National Health Care would allow these un-insured people to use preventative health care and alternatives to hospital emergency rooms. Hospitals and Healthcare Centers that must treat these people need to get paid some how, so pass the costs on to treatments paid by those insured, and that drives up rates of Health Insurance. So you and me that have either self purchased or employer provided group health insurance plans pay higher premiums.
access to new treatments
access would only be limited to what your current policy states now, or would you drop your current plan and get onboard the National Plan?
or increase my taxes. It may increase your taxes, but should lower your premiums as the charges to your insurance company would be less. In the end YOU AND ME will be paying one way or the other. Higher premiums or higher taxes. A wash? Not necessarily....better access to Preventative Medicine reduces overall medical costs
