Some have much heavier hands than others... like ours compared to 100-years ago. Yes it's a different world, but not one where we need Mommy Dearest to protect us from ourselves.
Are you ever going to post things that are relevant to what you quote?
If you open the market to competition, those middle men get squeezed out. Today it's easier than ever before.
And Obamacare's insurance exchanges don't do this? Furthermore, single payer eliminates this entirely. Until you get to a monopoly, you'll have duplication.
You mean like our Federal Government? And yes... medical records have been such a quandary that we hear about deaths due to them every day in the news. It's been such a problem it's a constant issue on the campaign trail from LA to NY... not.
Merely because you are unable to research does not mean it doesn't happen. If you think medical records are streamlined and easily accessible to a variety of your doctors....you haven't spoken to a doctor about this in a long, long time.
No real controls over costs? You have to be joking
Funny. I was talking about the current system.
It's hilarious how you failed to understand this.
Since when has government controlled costs? And should they attempt to accomplish this, what does it mean? Ask the post office... it means cuts in services, not investing in the latest technology... just look at other socialist healthKare schemes.
Silly Zimmer. Once again, you fail to research. Post Office's primary problem is that the fact that Republicans legislated that they had to pre-fund legacy costs for employees as yet unborn. Go back 6 years and see how much they've paid into that account. Sure they've lost money outside of that, but the majority of losses stem from the Federal government mandating something no organization on the planet has to do. Oh wait. Bush did it. It can't be bad right Zimmer? After all,
we all know you cannot criticized Republicans.
The market free of burdensome government intervention reduces costs.
Define "burdensome."
Cost controls by government never work. von Mises became a libertarian because of failed cost controls. He saw that they were the root problem... they cause problems, they don't solve them.
Never work?
You want to bet on that?
Rather than the government death panel? The one Obama and Sebelius were so compassionate towards that 10-year old girl?
Cute. Zimmer fails again. First, the transplant rules aren't actually set by any legislation. The National Organ Transplant Act sets up a framework for a task force of 25 individuals
Here's the private organization who runs the transplant policies:
OPTN: Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network
How many federal employees do you see?
And yes, this is better than a private death panel. At least you know the rules for transplants. They're publicly posted. They've been that way for years. Can you say that about a private insurance agency running the numbers to determine what they can deny the most to generate the most income? No. You know full well that it's much better to have an open rationing process of healthcare than a closed one.
You just aren't mature enough to bring yourself to the point where you will agree with me. Hence why you're running on this tangent.
We didn't need massive Socialist schemes to cover 10million uninsured.
Okay, what's your proposal. Also, still not Socialist. Learn what words mean before you use them
But, with your take on the IRS (wanting it expanded)
I'd make a comment about your honesty, but I don't really see the point. The whole forum understands you aren't a honest person by any measure.
and now this... I see you have great faith in the power of government.
We went to the moon didn't we?
