Get rid of government and leave everything to the for-profit large corporations? You see how "well" that works for health care. Health care is great in the US, for those that can afford it. Yeah that works real well for the rich, everyone else go screw yourself.
Bullshit. Private healthcare is expensive in the USA because of the massively high cost of entry due to unfair legislation. There is a market for budget health care, but no one can supply it because of regulation. My optometrist, who is no more expensive than any other I have found, charges $100 for a 30 minute visit (i have unusual eye problems, this isnt just an exam). Even cutting out a bit for his office and his staff, that's still $50/hr+ to be told an answer I already know and get a prescription for the same steroid ointment that I got last time. Compare that to the dental college where I get my cleanings and oral surgery (wisdom teeth in the process of coming out) done, where they charge less than 25% the professional rate AND don't charge extra for follow ups ($64 for the visit, $50 to have a wisdom tooth out, and the $64 also covers the followup check a week later. Any professional oral surgery practice I can find wants $200+ for the two visits plus AT LEAST $200 per tooth, up to $500 if there are complications)! Deregulate healthcare (obviously not with regards to safety) and let the market take care of itself, those of us who can't afford insurance will thank you.
