health care should be free and not dependent on insurance
the middle man is unnecessary
Well said Matt !!
If you give health care to all; paid for through taxes; and remove the "for profit" component; you would save 30%+ right out of the gate. Some of the things you do need to spend money on to supply health care to someone is doctors, nurses, hospitals, drugs, medical equipment, clinics, etc. The one thing you don't need is insurance companies. They offer no service except to jack-up the costs and provide a return for their investors at patients expense. Through sheer volume, we could self insure ourselves at a much cheaper price and more efficiently.
Think about it. The only way an insurance company can make money is to collectively overcharge their customers the percentage of profit margin, over and above their expenses. The expenses include the paying of claims, but also include, executive pay and bonuses, employee pay, benefits, taxes (maybe not), Marketing and Administrative Expenses ( you even have to pay for their TV ads), utility costs, maintenance costs, and much, much, more; that are passed directly to the patient on top of already high actual health care costs.
A 2004 economic study published in The New England Journal of Medicine determined that a national single-payer healthcare system would reduce costs by more than $400 billion a year "despite the expansion of comprehensive care to all Americans." I'm sure that figure has increased since then.
I think the cartoon at the bottom of this page says it all -

What has become the law of the land, is a new tax for the middle class. They now have us by the short hairs. If you think us being #1 in health care costs and #37 in service is bad now ...................................... you ain't seen nothin' yet !!

Dear [[First_Name]]: http://www.healthcare-now.org/listimages/mandate1.html
The Supreme Court just released their decision on Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA), and their decision is that all components of the law - including the individual mandate requiring citizens buy private health insurance - are upheld and declared constitutional.
This decision does not end the fight for expanded and improved Medicare-for-all. We know that our community members' health needs will not be met by the ACA.
We already have the infrastructure in place to create a national single-payer system by simply expanding Medicare to everyone, and excluding private health insurance companies.
We urge you to:
Hold public demonstrations outside of private health insurance companies or hospitals. Or attend one of these:
Washington, DC - Today

While a national single-payer system, such as the one proposed in Representative Conyers' (D-MI) National Health Care Act (HR676), would:
Please take swift action now with the message: Medicare: improve it and expand it to everyone!

Give a listen!
There are a lot of anarchists in addition to the statist leftists in Occupy. Do the anarchists even pay enough attention to current events to have an opinion about the establishment forcing them to become customers of health insurance corporations?
The RW, America-hating, authoritarian Naysayers have plagued America since it's inception, good thing we'll have Death Panels!!
And remember you "healthcare purists," we would not even be discussing this topic if McCain-Palin won in 2008!!! So STFU about insurance!! 2010 could have taken care of that, but you were too busy POUTING!!!!
I want to welcome the millions of young people to the mandatory tax rolls! When you watch that ACA money leave your paycheck think of all us less fortunate folks who have the time to sit in waiting rooms for our medical care you are now paying for! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
C'mon, you can do better than that!
