(21,210 posts)that is the question?
Of course they are intertwined, that is the US for profit HC system!
Undoubtedly, we have more bankruptcies in the US because of the system in which we allow companies to profit, and yes I'm blaming the Dems here as well.
Should we see HC as more of a human right where we all pool our resources to provide some basic care for everyone?
Do you think a country where fewer and fewer of our people are healthy will be a prosperous one for all?
How will we compete in the global market where the basics of HC are provided to all in many other industrialized nations and not our own?
These are tough questions that should have been addressed in the HC debate, but we never had a real debate.
I'll be one of the those to sadly say the Dems blocked an open discussion when the door was wide open and the majority of the country was focused on HC.
