The argument that if we were to have a universal system, then everybody would be going to the doctor for every little ailment. How rediculous is that? Like everyone goes to to doctor for fun – at this time I have very good PPO coverage and no one in my family has been to a doctor in over a year.
The better policy would be to fine people who don’t go to the doctor – people who don’t go to the doctor when necessary and in a timely fashion cost a lot more.
And to say we’ll bring on all those illegals is also a stupid argument because they are getting care at emergency rooms as it is, showing up when they are really sick (after working in the kitchens of the restaurants where you eat) instead of seeing a doctor right away.
We could control a lot of our sicknesses with readily available healthcare.
