Hmmm...i\'ve commented on this issue only once (cause i\'m really unsure about this)....but just generally thinking about it, i don\'t think that universal system as it\'s being talked here would work, i mean people without insurance are already going to the hospital and hospitals cannot turn them around, but what is sad is that folks that actually do have Ins. that might need surgery sometimes have to pay for it out of pocket, when the Ins. they have won\'t cover it, and from what i understand those folks that just come off the street with no ID or insurance, their bill is either paid for by the hospital or passed on to the taxpayer... IDK, in all honesty i think everybody should have healthcare, but i think it would be heavily abused.
The times i\'ve been to the local E.R. the wait times are dismal as it is, and people come to the E.R. for thee most outrageous reasons,..."i have a headache or my stomach is upset",...or they have a small cut....i don\'t want to sound like a cold non-caring a**hole, as i genuinely feel everybody should have decent healthcare, but i just think too many folks would take advantage of it.....but maybe the overall good of universal healthcare would outweigh the bad....I also think that taxes would increase a bit by going universal.
