Re: Is Health Insurance Socialism?

Nationalized system is the only system that makes any sense. It makes sense financially, and it makes sense healthwise.
The u.s. system is inefficient. You pay good private money, yet nothing is done timely. Auditing of what is covered uner the contract and what you need is cumbersome and hardly patient oriented. If you call your doctor, they will schedule an appointment 2-3 weeks from now. If it is an emergency you have to wait 2 days, or they tell you to go to an emergency room. Then, you need to know which emergency room is the one that is in your plan. You need to know what is covered and what is not. If you do not know, the doctor has to be trained in plans and coverages; and know what he can and can not do based on the plan. Doctors are businessmen and not doctors. Money galores in inefficiency, and in the end nothign is done timely nor efficiently.

Our system is a disaster. It can not stand.

We need nationalized healthcare where everything is free everywhere for everyone. No questions asked. You do not have to worry about debt, where to go, or what is covered. Everything is free for everyone at all locations. The cost are completely externilized. It is the only and most efficient way.

It is not socialism. it is a necessity and the only financially prudent way of completing healthcare task.
