No, because any humane solutions get demonized and denounced as "socialism." The free market has clearly failed utterly and irreparably at "managing" health care. It's not good for patients, it's not good for clinicians, it is good for absolutely no one other than those who profit off the illnesses and woes of others. In other words, those who are the sickest among us are showered with blessings and wealth from Mammon for being cruel and wicked to those in need.I fully expect Donald Trump to step in and fix this mess...Just kidding, we all know that won't happen.
I'd include those who refuse to have any part of fixing the system and instead are actively trying to make it worse (trump party members in congress).There is no defending this system that at this point can only be resolved with a scorched earth approach to begin again entirely anew.
They are included in the ashes of the scorched earth (many Dems to, for not be willing to put forth anything more than a band aid solution like the ACA).I'd include those who refuse to have any part of fixing the system and instead are actively trying to make it worse (trump party members in congress).
Apparently the medical industry in the U.S.A. is the new Mafia. There is no excuse for this. Thoughts?
'I was scared to death': Patients jailed over unpaid medical debt in rural Kansas
Our medical system is a joke. A deadly life-destroying joke that is on us, the American public of which a large part has been conned into thinking health care for all is somehow a bad idea.
And you fell for the design of a system to enrich a lawyerYou didn't read the article did you? He didn't show up for court that would evaluate if he had to pay that debt or was within poverty criteria. He was put in jail due to failure to appear not debt. You fell for click-bait and didn't read the contents.
Or try Canada...There is no defending this system that at this point can only be resolved with a scorched earth approach to begin again entirely anew.
When force is the only way, and reason cannot do the job, then we are in serious trouble.This is absolutely outrageous. Everyone involved in this, from the doctors to the bill collectors to the bankers to the lawyers and the judges, should all be locked up for the rest of their lives. Force is the only language people like that understand. There's no other way to solve this problem.
I've considered it. I still might after I have my master's degree. My only real problem with Canada is the only region I'd want to go to is that tiny bit in the SouthWest near Seattle, because everywhere else has too much winter for me.Or try Canada...

Wow! I'm not sure that you, or anyone else, knows just what you've said here. Your lack of Churchillian (or perhaps Obama-like) oratory may dilute your point -- but it is a very, very good point.Apparently Jesus healed the sick.
His devoted followers would prefer they went to hell.
Isn’t that weird ?
I would have thought free health care was the sine qua non of a Christian attitude.
How do people maintain such stunning levels of hypocrisy ?
Alcohol ?
Doctors and other clinicians would have to be a case-by-case basis. It's not unusual for them to commit insurance fraud so a patient can get the treatment they need. And bill collectors, I imagine many, if not most, of those, such as those making the calls, are just doing a job.This is absolutely outrageous.

And, to be perfectly honest, too much winter for the rest of us. But it is what it is, and the cost is not too high to enjoy the benefits.I've considered it.

It's just too hard on my body anymore with various ailments, and not too mention the tremendous relief of never having to worry about walking on ice again after I moved to a warm part of California where it hasn't snowed in 20 years.And, to be perfectly honest, too much winter for the rest of us.

But lawyers, lobbyists, insurance executives, policy makers (legal and insurance), they are a problem. Insurance as it is, is a major problem that has firmly wedged itself between patient and doctor. It needs to all be destroyed as a system and institute and rebuild from the ground up, modeled on something that has actually been demonstrated to work, rather than a failed attempt by what one state already tried.
