So for the past few weeks I've seen commercials on TV telling the viewer to contact their reps to tell them you want free medical and that its a success and working...

No doubt our tax dollars are running these ads.  This is ridiculous.

I think most people are too stupid to understand that "free" isn't free.   Just to educate you a little, if I refuse "free" health care, my health  benefits from my wife's work place and mine will be taxed.....as It's going to cost me  a shit ton to keep my already expensive health care benefits.  

Dumb shits all of them.

I don't know how to feel about this anymore.

I don't think people should be forced to pay for other people's medical bills.

However, I also think that if you are going to live and work in society, it's just basic common decency to make sure that the sick get the help they need. I think it should bother everyone to 'step over a dying person on the way to work'.

That being said, I've never had health insurance. And the one time when I faced high bills... A church stepped in and volunteered to pay the big portion of my bill. So there are means that exist now for poor people with no insurance.

This is the same bullshit that got (the)Clinton(s) elected AND reelected.

Obama is just waving his arms higher in the air and braying a little bit louder than they did.

This is great material for the "Never Ending Campaign" and will keep the libtards all glassy eyed for a long time.

It will die down eventually and somewhere down the line someone will say "Hey! WTF happened to our free health care?"

Then the same bullshit shuffle will ensue.

And there are MDs wanting it too. So they can make $70k a year and not have to worry about insurance.  No malpractice either, meaning lawyers will be stuck out in the cold.

There can be no refusal because that would draw talent away from public health.

Actually, any element of tort reform is suspiciously lacking in  the .gov health care proposals the Dims are discussing.

It'll also create even more of a two-tiered medical system.

The rich will recieve different care than the rest. There will be certain docs and facilities that won't take the government plan.

Sort of like private schools. Everyone pays for the public schools, but the rich are able to double down, and pay for the higher quality private schools on top of that. This is what happened in Canada, and it was even outlawed for a while.

So is this what private insurance would pay for?  The better care at the better facilities?  Or is this strictly out of pocket payments?

Correct.  It will be working for less than half the pay, and you'll still have all the liability.

70K a year?  that would be about 30 percent LESS than what I made as a military doc... and I would still have to pay my 35K-per-year malpractice insrance out of that.

Sorry... they can get f*cked if that's their plan.

I seem to recall one of our resident Aussies saying that over 40% of their population had private health insurance.

As for Canada, you've got to wonder about a country that has to make private insurance illegal. (Took their Supreme Court to overturn that, I believe.)
