^ but what i don't get it is what good does higher customer rating do if things like medicare are going broke and aren't sustainable. the bush administration lowered taxes like bat nuts crazy, & spent money like bat nuts crazy. for example, if we hadn't gone to war with iraq we wouldn't have to worry about a bankrupt medicare. this is what needs to be done: refinancing through taxation. tax the rich & pay for medicine. otherwise, we lose more money in the high costs of private insurance & the current healthcare system. Couldn't the same be said about corporations? Why should we trust a corporation to provide fair, adequate health care? You agree that the health care system needs to be overhauled, but how can we trust the corporations to make those necessary changes when the current system makes them obscenely profitable? absolutely, & even further... i think a very strong argument can be made (& has been made) that private industry is just inherently flawed due to the nature of profit. &, that the evidence has mounted against private medicine. &, even further, that the public systems operating in america have been more successful than private insurance. and lastly, we can understand why a private insurer may cheat us in healthcare... but it's much more difficult to understand why the government would design a healthcare system to hurt us. |
