universal coverage is socialism?
lets see. We have health insurance, homeowners insurance, car insurance..If you ask me no mater who pays for it- you or tax money, it makes no difference.
to get away from the pooling of money to pay for others expenses, you might as well start a savings account and not have any insurance at all. I dont care where the money comes from, just as long as the system can be improved... and any time you privatize, you open up the costs for profit.
Based on what ever profit levels private insurance company's operate at, why not have the goverment take it all over and create a price cap??
what am I missing here? what is the difference if the goverment provides insurance over private insurance?
