It is a wonderful indoctrination job someone has done over there
I've said it before on here, but just to get back on my soapbox with "socialist" health (Health just being a good example)...
Say we all got together and paid X each for a doctor to just look after each of us as needed, that is n*X monies going straight to our care.
If we pay X each to an insurance company, who pays a private company who pays a doctor, and each "broker" along the way takes a 20% cut, that is 0.8*0.8*n*X money. So either the doctor is paid 64% of what they would otherwise get, or it costs overall 36% more.
It is basically and fundamentally flawed and wasteful.
They are so scared of paying for what they see as "spongers" that they are willing to pay a third more money so as to not ever help anyone out.

the whole insurance model is pretty fucked up,
if the right wingers are as Christian as they say they are I don't know why they don't fund healthcare voluntarily through some kind of state or national charity. If they were willing to solve the problem themselves the government wouldn't have to do it for them but they want their cake and stamp on it.
