Country Companies Health Insurance
Do you think the Public Insurance OPTION would drive private companies out of business?
Why?
Dozens of countries have public health insurance, and many have single payer insurance, where all citizens are automaticall covered unless they opt out.
And yet, in EVERY SINGLE one of these countries, private insurance still exists. Not one has driven all private insurance companies out of business.
So what proof do you have backing up your claim? Where has this happened in the past? Are you just speculating, without any evidence at all? What makes you think our situation will be different than every other country?
If the government thinks they can run health insurance better than the Private sector then they should go ahead and do it.
HOWEVER, they need to run it as an independent entity. They can not draw funds from outside sources.
If I choose to have Government health care then I will check that box on the W4 form and they can make the appropriate tax deductions. If not I will go with my own carrier and not pay into the system.
That seems fair. They feel they can run it better…let them compete. It’s when we are forced to use or pay for Gov Care that the problems arise.
Let them compete in a free market if they are convinced they can do it better.
