When I was in Italy in the 80's I asked a fellow how healthcare was paid for
there....he didn't say much about it but he pointed at the price of
gasoline..which was over 4.50 a gallon. I took it that a gas tax paid for
Italy's medical program. I don't think Americans would go for that at all.
To be honest I do not know what is scarier, the government in charge of
our healthcare or selling my home later in life to pay for good health care.
Maybe they could start where the problems start..stop our overpayment of
insurance. That includes ALL insurance, health home auto...seems the
insurance industry has the biggest scam on our citizens than about anything.

Just how does one save up for radical cancer therapy after you retire
and
don't have company health insurance. No insurance company is going to
insure you and if you do find insurance you can say goodbye to your
nest
egg
that you have been saving for all your life. Oh yeah, you get to sell
your
house and give it to a doctor. What a great way to grow old. Just
when
you've finished working all your life, and through the luck of the
draw,
you
get to lose everything you own to the health industry. But, at least
you
have your life, such that it is, living in a rental at a trailer park.



One can buy his own insurance. The fact that you cannot get a decent
policy
is largely due to government interference in insurance.

Dude, you're a little out in right field on this one. What do you think
insurance is going to cost you after you have retired and had a bout with
cancer? Either way it's going to cost you your house and everything you
have worked for all your life. This is where countries with socialized
medicine have it over the US. People live longer and pay less for medical
care than in the US. Have a read.
