then what’s the problem with starting up a gov’t funded alternative?

1.) People argue of dooms day scenarios regarding waiting lists to get teeth pulled, but never take into account all of the people who wait until the last minute to get medical treatment b/c they have no health insurance. THESE PEOPLE WHO WAIT ARE DRIVING UP THE COSTS of healthcare b/c by seeking no preventative care, they increase the amount of expensive surgeries and extended stays at hospitals. As it stands, Americans are already paying for that now.

2.) The people that state that the US can’t afford gov’t funded healthcare due to sky high taxes overlook the fact that healthcare costs are the leading cause of bankruptcy today among people that HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE.

3.) The people that state that if the gov’t provides healthcare, it will eventually have within it’s ability control to manage every aspect of our lives have obviously never heard of the military, CIA, FBI, NSA, Homeland Security, Federal Reserve, Treasury and Coast Guard, which at any point can control every aspect of our lives today.
