And this is why we should have a Nationalized Healthcare System

No, it's why we need less government involvement in healthcare especially if the hikes are linked to the ACA.

Do some research before just shooting your mouth off.

Right now 6 out of 10 Americans think Obamacare is a cluster bleep... imagine what it will be like as soon as all the nationwide rate hikes kick in next year.

At least republicans played absolutely no part in this, and the creation, passage and implementation falls squarely in the lap of Obama, Pelosi, and house democrats, who are the 100% owners of this train wreck.

Your graph hardly qualifies as 'research' and does nothing to address the point made by Digsby. Care to try again? Or did you just shoot your wad with that pointless post?

I think it's a Cluser F too.

Nationalize Healthcare.

Don't Involve the Private sector Even more by forcing people to participate in it.

Our healthcare is expensive, research and innovation are huge costs and those companies need to recoup the costs in the US market, not the international one that can likely feed off of our work and then turn it around for a profit. Education (and standards) are typically higher in the US and are more costly. Malpractice insurance in the US is crazy expensive for some specialties and our population tends to not be the healthiest (high obesity rate contributing to disease and cost). Name a handful of policies the government has enacted that drive down the true cost of healthcare (not caps on services) or show to me how government involvement in this case isn't resulting in an increase of premium cost.

Lol, okay. You clearly don't understand what I posted, but that's fine.

What percentage of bankruptcies are caused by unexpected medical expenses in America? ~67%.

I understand what you posted just fine. You just became hopelessly lost in a thread by post #4. That is probably not a record around here but you are in good (bad) company.

Do you just want me to link you to Healthcare Systems that are more Public dependent?

As for the second part of the Bolded, I didn't Say that ACA isn't resulting in Premium Costs increases. I don't agree with ACA either.

One of the things the French Healthcare System does is pays doctors to actually get Frenchmen to quit smoking.

"Our healthcare is expensive, research and innovation are huge costs and those companies need to recoup the costs in the US market, not the international one that can likely feed off of our work and then turn it around for a profit."

I'm sorry, did I post nations that are third world countries that innovate absolutely nothing? I did not. Have you looked up the differences in costs between the same medical equipment from other OECD countries and this 'great' nation?

" Education (and standards) are typically higher in the US and are more costly."

Yes. And that has to do with the Private Sector.

What does the AMA do?

It charters Medical Schools and Quotas the number of Student-Doctors.

What is the AMA? Doctors.

What does the AMA/Doctors do in response to the # of Medical Schools and Quotas?

Keeps them low, so there's an Under-Supply of Doctors so that the current Doctors can acquire a larger pay check.

"Malpractice insurance in the US is crazy expensive for some specialties and our population tends to not be the healthiest (high obesity rate contributing to disease and cost)."

That's great.

We're obese because, unlike the EU (and this was a main sticking point in the EU-USA FTA negotiations), in the US food market/FDA one has to PROVE that the food is Detrimental.

In Europe one has to PROVE that the food is NOT Detrimental.

Capitalism is best-ism!

As for Malpractice, I'm sure having the government installed would assist in that since it'd be the government involved. However, that does bring up a good point. I'll need to do some personal research on that. But I have a feeling it has to do more with our Law system than anything else, but don't hold me to that ;)

Alrighty right! I guess we should just ignore each other since you think I'm an invalid and such the feeling is mutual.

My question was not about their taxes. It was about their health care benefits and how much those benefits cost. You have not answered any of my questions.

You have taken this discussion straight up your ass, and I'm not going to follow. This thread is about health care premiums.
 
OK, so what are their health care insurance premiums?

I told you, I don't know, and then I asked you to provide some information on it.

"My question was not about their taxes. It was about their health care benefits and how much those benefits cost. You have not answered any of my questions. "

So you're looking only at one side of the question? Okay.
