The YEA and Nay on Health Care -- My Prospective
YEA
+ Guarantees Coverage for existing conditions
+ Prohibited from denying coverage because of a person's medical history
+ They will not be able to drop your coverage if you get sick
+ Focuses on prevention
+ Helps Seniors live independently
NAY
- Government Run
- Steps towards universal payer system
- Could lead to rationing care
- Government Involved in your health care decisions
- Focuses on covering everyone rather than Quality and Patient Results
- Costs savings are based on projections of savings from ER visits and more costly forms of health care delivery. It's very difficult to book those savings.
- Tends to usurp the private market
- Yes, fine I can keep my coverage if I "like it" but who's going to like it when the government plan prices the private market out of the market.
- Current world class health care could become second rate.
- There is a reason why people from all over the world come the U.S. for Health Care
- Health Care when delivered is excellent, it's the payment system we need to address. Let's incent insurers to achieve payment reform rather than create new mandates and re-invent the wheel by creating an entirely new government run plan.
The simply not true:
- Death Panels
- Elderly being put out to pasture

Add another item to the Yea column.
Under socialized medicine the people 'own' their health coverage.
If they hate their job they don't have to stay for the next 25 years to get the insurance. That's quite a nice advantage to have.
In Poland, for instance, people are
able to more around the employment
marketplace and not have to worry about the 60 or 90 day period of time before the insurance would 'kick in'.
(off the record) It is my experience that the private market insurance sucks. Huge corporations
provide the insurance and their motive is PROFIT. That's scary. Yes, on my last surgery the hospital wanted prepayment for the cost of care that was not insurance
covered. Huh? Not right. One should not have to worry about such an expensive surgery and balance that over losing their home. That's what they told me ...
sell your home if you can't afford these bills.
