How do the candidates expect to make everyone buy health insurance?
Health insurance costs are extraordinary, Hillary and OBama want to force people to buy health insurance (and subsidize the costs for some) but they fail to address the reasons health insurance is so expensive. Medical malpractice insurance costs doctors more than most people make a year, and Insurance companies answer to their stockholders before their customers are two of the main reasons it is so expensive. It seems that insurance companies are the ONLY winners in the field of medicine. The democrat solutions to the "health care crisis" only masks the problem.
Whimsey... it didn't work with car insurance did it? everyone is supposed to have it and the costs continue to soar. How will health insurance be different?

The problem I have with this is taxes. Where is the money going to come from, me the middle class. The middle class is what keep this country running. Besides, do you think this plan will really benefit all? Will this stop hospitals from closing their doors because illegals immigrants and American trash that go to the emergency room every time they have a cold and they never pay the bill resulting th the hospital having to eat the loss. Read up: 13 hospitals shut down in California as a direct result.
Furthermore, this type of heath coverage will result in lower pay for doctors which will go elsewhere for higher paying jobs. The quality will drop and then we will be like Canada who has waiting list for surgeries and people dying as a result. this is madness and we shouldn't elect Hillary or Obama as a direct result.

Yeah I love how these two so called candidates are willingly spending our monies even before we earn them. Sorry to say at this moment in time I myself would not be able to cover private funded health care outside of 150.00 a month for the premium and that is really cutting to the minimum..Besides Hillary failed miserably in health care reform 15 yeahs ago or less, why the hell should "We the People" trust her now..? 300 a month for family plan, 25 dollars a run to the doctor co pay, bill arrives and you still owe about 45% of the services due IMMEDIATLY. Plus addition to the cost of perscriptions and travel. ohh my lord and stars can I get to spend my fruits of labor as I see fit or does the government want to come spend my money and just let me work?

Only Hillary wants to force them to buy insurance, including attaching their wages if they don't. Obama's is voluntary and will include government assistance to those who cannot afford it. And Obama's plan is for the same insurance that currently covers Congressmen which does not mean as Hillary's does only partial coverage with additional costs for doctor visits, etc.

You know I have health insurance, but what gets me, is how are we expected to pay for the co pay and the medicine? After paying for the insurance, I can't afford to go to the doctor!

They can't and won't do anything. This is just campaign rhetoric. As soon as one of them gets elected they'll 'suddenly find out' that their national health care scheme is unworkable and move on to something easier.
Mind you, democrats have a hard time handling even the 'easy' things. Heck, they can't even run something as elementary and straight forward as an election. Something high school kids do every year!
Source(s): Whimsey: You're dreaming. Nationalized health care is not an abstract. It exists in many places around the world and not in one instance has the cost of health care to the individual gone down as a result. Not only that, but the quality of that care hasn't increased. I lived in Australia. Tax rate: 65%. Quality care on a par with your inner city hospital. And still, providing health care to the people was literally bankrupting the Australian government. Yeah, what a bargain. - whimsyLv 51 decade ago
If everyone pays, then costs go down. Further you will not have deductions from your paycheck (as previously) for Insurance, and you employer could pay you more, if they don't have to fund the remainder of your health insurance costs. Thus you may have more net income each pay period than before.

I have never been able to understand he reluctance of America to have a National Health Service Free to every Citizen at point of delivery as we have here in U.K.Operations/Medication/Doctors/Nurses./Ambulances.Payed for from your salary during your working life.ICradle to grave we say.(they even have it in Cuba)
