[QUOTE="Xenonnonex, post: 7828517, member: 7015664"] My bona fide opinion is 'everyone is worthy and deserving of an equal quality of healthcare'. Not 'only the wealthy has a right to a higher quality of healthcare'. Not 'only those who know how to work the system should have a higher quality of healthcare'. But you absolutely need the right supports and structures in place for this. The socialized healthcare model is one solution for this. My opinion is not born of ignorance. Namely for the high number of people filing bankruptcy due to healthcare costs. The OCED countries with socialized healthcare all do not have barriers to healthcare. Whereas the States does. The OCED countries all have equal access to healthcare for their population. But the States does not. The OCED countries nearly all have outcomes that do not result in bankruptcy of the patient. In the States a great number of the population files for bankruptcy because of the outcomes of healthcare. I did not claim a socialized healthcare model is the only solution. And claiming it is my position that it is the only solution is complete and willful misinterpretation and ignorance of my position. What you have in the States is actually too little governmental oversight and too little governmental regulation. Where you have corporate entities and margins of profit dictating patient healthcare that is entirely and utterly F'd up. The for profit model of healthcare is entirely to blame for the sorry situation the States is in. [/QUOTE]
