[quote=Anonymous]You realize that the very poor and the old are covered only because the govt provides health coverage, right? BTW, healthcare in this country is terrible given how much we pay per capita. It's in line with other industrialized nations, IF you ave good health insurance, otherwise, all measurable stats indicate that US healthcare is inadequate.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, according to Paul Krugman, red states use up a disproportionate amount govt welfare funds. Also not surprising that people who are recipients of govt welfare don't recognize they are.

right, because 100% of the population in "red states" vote republican.  its probably seeing such a large number in their states mooch off welfare that drove the rest of them to vote republican.

I am not republican, but I normally vote republican.  I think the answer is that health reform should have been higher on the republican agenda but they never got around to it.  they tried things like tort reform but got pushed back by the democrats.  but basically, other than lowering the increase in costs, they didn't think it was broken.  most people get coverage from their jobs.  those that are poor or old are already covered.  and for the rest, you can buy catastrophic coverage.  that is the responsible thing to do.  just like a responsible person buys life insurance and other forms of insurance.  maybe not the best system, but the healthcare in this country is pretty good and the doctors are pretty smart.  go wait in like at a social security office.  work for the feds for a while, I interned at the EPA when I was in law school, it is disgusting the waste and lack of work ethic and no accountability.  you REALLY want to turn healthcare over to something as incompetent as the govt?
