Pardon my ignorance but what are the arguements against it? Maybe I have been blindsided by the Free Healthcare service we get over here because I see no reason why members from both parties are dead against it.

Roland17:
I dey tell you!!!!!!!!

We never even begin talk about the cost of prescription medications!!! That one na another segment on its own under healthcare.

happney65:
someone please confirm. Has voting closed in Florida?

PDPGuy:
The main Republican argument against it is that “socialized medicine” will enable the government to choose your doctor, determine who gets surgery, determine who lives or dies, etc

madrid5:
no

sanpipita:
Florida is leaning to Trump so far

happney65:
I do not think members of both party are against it..that is why Obama gave them Obamacare..But for 10years,the GOP has been going back and forth trying to repeal and replace but it has always come to naught..crazy people

Blackfriday:
Trump actually will be taking Florida.

The numbers coming from Miami is not looking good for Dems.

salford:
What the hell. Not even close to what is done in say Canada and the UK. Government definitely doesn't determine who gets surgery or who lives or dies. They are just retardds to think of such.

Healthcare is not a right in the US is one big issue. Secondly, our system of economy is primarily Capitalist! This system is the bedrock of our history as a country, the ideology looks to limit the influence of Government in certain areas of lives and that includes healthcare. The Republicans who are textualist when it comes to the interpretation of the constitution and our ideologies don’t want any interference from government.. They call it socialism and compare it to extreme communist situations..

The UK and Canada practice the National single payer system with the NHS while the US practices the multi-payer system with the private healthcare carrying the bulk of the load because it is in the spirit of Capitalist America. Government gets involved through Medicaid and Medicare only for those who meet very strict financial resource (total resources must be under 2K before you can get Medicaid), age or disability criteria. So you can see it does not cover the vast number of Americans.

The only way you can get healthcare treatment in the US is if you go to the ER. Legally, no hospital ER can deny you healthcare if you walked into the ER. They may ask you for your insurance card but will not deny you care because you don’t have it. This is why a lot of undocumented immigrants use the ER. Well, guess who absorbs the unpaid ER bills? We do!! Through ridiculous city/ state taxes.

Until healthcare becomes a right in the US we will continue to suffer with this system. There is more to it that I want to discuss but this is the basis. Again, this issue transcends party lines.
