[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7123581, member: 624844"] If you think that having the govt step in to provide insurance is going to solve the problem, you're sadly mistaken. The main issue is having surgeries and hospital stays that can exceed $1 Million very quickly. Anyone who knows someone who's had major trauma or a long hospital stay knows how high the bills are. The insurance companies have to stay in business too. If they're writing out checks right and left and the only ones paying the bills are healthy people.....where's the money coming from?? If the government doesn't regulate the COSTS of health care at the billing level, then we will continue to pay high health care costs REGARDLESS of if a public corporation is providing care or a government run provider. If you don't cut the costs, without cutting employees salaries, then everyone will continue to pay high prices. Its not the little people (workers) that's bankrupting the industry. Its the people at the top dictating what prices we pay for health care. Who pays for the multi-million dollar machines for these surgeries? We do. [/QUOTE]
