Agreed that if Obamacare is way too expensive, people will simply drop out…The credits help me a lot as our cost isn’t as bad as it is without.
That said, I think people and society in general should just ACCEPT that we can’t get tests or treatments for everything.
I don’t want to give doctors complete immunity neither for malpractice, but I would think if given the choice, sane people with low chances of survival would be happier with some cash in leau of treatment for themselves and their family.
People state that our healthcare is the best and other countries, you don’t have this or that treatment…but I suppose there is a cost to that and I, for one would be willing to not get the latest and greatest (at least not on the “general”/ “basic”) plan. If someone wanted advanced treatments, they should pay separately and there will still be a market for that.
Another problem I see is maternity as healthcare for women is a lot more than for men as men tend to ignore going to doctors and just die a lot earlier.
Young pregnancies, I’d guess is also paid a lot by the government, etc…need a better way to educate these people that having 4 or 5 kids isn’t doing yourself any favors (cultural thing probably).
