[quote=NeetaT] “Kill the Bill” so that I am not fleeced for more taxes. I will gladly pay for my own healthcare thank you.[/quote]
Fleeced by taxes or fleeced by insurance companies? That’s really the issue here. What gives the policy holder more leverage, the opportunity to choose a more competitive carrier, or your voting power to choose a government that administers healthcare? The problem we have is that choice has been removed and carriers are administering the government.

March 16, 2010 at 10:19 AM #526451KSMountainParticipant[quote=patb][quote=NeetaT]In my opinion, healthcare is not a right. Healthcare is a service that is priced via supply and demand just like other goods and services. [/quote]
So what’s the Equilibrium price for an Ambulance ride?
When you are having a heart attack, what is the price you will pay for a ride?[/quote]
I thought this was a really interesting question patb. I’m a strong supporter of the free market, but here you have an example that seems to pose a difficulty.
Is it that there needs to be a mechanism to prevent gouging?
Got a good answer for me?
Hopefully the answer isn’t “anything that anyone might want really badly should be provided by the government”.
