When you think of National Health Care do you think of government hospitals
Advertisements [?]
with government salaried doctors and nurses or do you think of everything being sort of like it is now but government paying the insurance bill instead of employers or yourself? Or maybe even a combination of both? That is sort of how I visualize it. Government hospitals with government paid doctors that any person could just walk in off the street and receive attention at no cost plus for those that wish for something more personal, (your own doctor), a policy that is mostly funded by the government but only say eighty percent. I'm talking about an insurance policy not the doctor/hospital bill. Might be something like $150. a month your cost on the health care policy. While that seems like a lot, because employers would no longer have to shell out health care costs they could pass a good portion along to their employees. Probably be more than enough to cover the cost..It is also possible that companies could even lower prices on merchandise a little because of their savings...which would give the economy a huge burst. Seems like a win win situation for everyone...Health Care costs would plummet if something like this were to occur and those savings could go directly into paying down/off our National Debt. That is how I visualize it working...:shrug: if only..
