[quote=jpinpb][quote=CA renter]Maybe that’s because we don’t approach health from a holistic perspective, as the Europeans are more prone to do. That holistic approach tends to exist in a sytem where health — rather than profits — is the priority of the healthcare system.
After all, with a **for-profit** healthcare system, a sick population (with chronic conditions that need to be “treated” for life, no less) is precisely what they want.[/quote]
X2. But then we have our new national healthcare, which is insurance based. And this is why I have an issue w/it. They are in business solely to make money.[/quote]
Totally agree.
That’s why I’m as opposed to “Obamacare” as any red-blooded, Tea Party activist. I support a multi-tiered public/private healthcare system where everyone has basic “universal” coverage, and they can contract with private insurers and/or doctors if they want “upgraded” care.
