[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole fiasco solidly proves we need universal healthcare.[/quote]

It's not that easy in the US to set up, it's just not.  It's a HUGE country with a lot of unhealthy people to start with.  I could give you 50 reasons why it's near impossible.  I'm not suggesting HC reform isn't needed or that I'm opposed to universal healthcare - it's just that the reality of putting in one in the US today is a pipe dream.  It would never work.

Our entire lifestyle and beliefs profoundly differ from countries with successful existing universal HC systems.  I'm not sure what would work.[/quote]

Thta's true and one reason why universal health care is not a great starting place.

However, implementing a single payer system would be much easier and much less disruptive.  And would largley reduce costs while freeing up doctors to doctor instead of arguing with insurance companies about whether something is medically necessary.[/quote]

How would single payer reduce costs? The provider accepts whatever govt dictates? For all providers providing the same services?

Does the govt now argue whether something is medically necessary or not?[/quote]
