[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Relentless.: [qb] Can't for a second argue that health care insurance isn't crippling... It is a huge burden. But I also can't imagine that government won't usher that fifteen grand right back to us... and then some. Thus negating the boon to the economy. [/qb][/QUOTE]i'm not sure they won't. what do other countries figger it out to cost? [b]The U.S. spends much more on health care than Canada, both on a per-capita basis and as a percentage of GDP.[5] In 2006, per-capita spending for health care in Canada was US$3,678; in the U.S., US$6,714. The U.S. spent 15.3% of GDP on health care in that year; Canada spent 10.0%.[5] In 2006, 70% of health care spending in Canada was financed by government, versus 46% in the United States. Total government spending per capita in the U.S. on health care was 23% higher than Canadian government spending, and U.S. government expenditure on health care was just under 83% of total Canadian spending (public and private).[/b] [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Canadian_and_American_health_care_systems]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Canadian_and_American_health_care_sys tems[/URL] "death panels"? they'd use statistics to determine health care cost-benefits-analysis... that's bothersome because some people feel that they must be unique and they need to be excepted from the stistitics. but, suppose a certain family practice doctor was sending everybody he sees to the "butt doctor" with the camera on the scope at 1500/per whack every year because he owns the equipment that they use and gets a fee every time? the govt might be able to stop that.... and all the TV commercials? we traders know for fact how strong the power of suggestion is. think about it... how many people get medications they don't need cuz they tell their doctor what they truly feel because they saw it on TV? and how come placebos work so much better than they did 30 years ago? is it because the drugs do not? or is it because of suggestion that drugs can heal everything? those are things the govt run well can fix. we agree that the govt hasn't been performng too well. but i totally disagree thatthe govt is any worse or better than "for profit" enterprise... it's all people and we are all imperfect. ywould you rather have some "cold fish" bureaucrat looking at statistics denying you coverage or would rahter have somebody who is getting a BONUS looking over your coverage to figger out how to dump you? i don't see it any different. except you can vote out a the govt if they are screwing you over.
