Socialized Health Care in the USA

[kandrathe]

In a system with privatized healthcare there is no incentive whatsoever to decrease the need of health care. The more obese people the better because the more business there is for medical personell, and of course the insurance people make sure they don't loose out on their piece of the pie. If health care and insurance is arranged by the government, finally there is an incentive to cut costs. Maybe not on the admin part (because those great insurance companies are far better in firing excess personell) but for sure on the education and legislation part. That would than actually work in two ways......cheaper health care (total) and healthier people.

There is no evidence of that either. For example, Netherlands has the highest incidence of cancer in the world and climbing.

Let's just stop this thread. Will you cooperate or should I write down some profanities so that Bolty will shut it down the hard way.:)

Would you swear in Dutch? :) The thread has been a good thread, and its not just shouting and aimless. We've talked about substantive issues, and presented opinions in a reasonable way. But, reasonable people can disagree.
