Under Obama care the life of the elderly, the mentally ill, and the chronically ill are devalued; the government decides who should have care or not, it will ration medical care and things as MRI's and other kinds of tests.
Howe do i respone to this?

She is confusing Universial Healthcare with Obamacare. Rationing wont start until after obamacare implodes. As long as Gov Care has other people available to cost shift to we'll just slowly bleed to death. He needs the personal Mandate to kick the can down the road.
That took about 2 seconds.
NHS rationing leaving thousands of children suffering tonsillitis
Now Capital, please look at the statistics in this country for how many children have no health coverage and compare. Which is worse? In which country are more children per capita not getting necessary procedures like this?

ALL children in this country have Health Insurance. Not sure I can find a statistic on how many parents neglect thier children.
Besides, Is having something and NOT getting it better than Never having it to begin with.

Still doesn't change the fact that France and Italy have the best health care in the world while the current Insurance-driven American Health care system came in at # 37 in the latest comparison. UK is denying tonsils; American Insurance Companies are denying lots and lots of treatments. Somewhere around 20% of all claims.

Feel free to Run "NHS Rationing" though Google if you need more than just tonsils.
Actually, Medicare has the highest Denial percentage a 6.85%. But Average claim denial is under 5%. With the lowest Private insurance Claim denial of 2.88%. But nice try none the less.
Half of all US bankruptcies are the result of medical bills. That hasn't happened to anyone in the UK, France, Germany or Switzerland since 1945.
Nice try though.
You mean aside GAO cherry picking that show wildly wide ranges. You said 20%, which is the Application denial rate. Not Care denial rate you refered to and I responded to.

Are you saying thier lives are not worth financial hardship. Probably becuase they have very strict bankrupcy laws, Where in the US we can do it over the internet. Not really a good apples to apples comparison.
I Did find this interesting.
Myth: People living in countries with universal health care do not go bankrupt paying for their medical treatment/
Fact: Not only do fewer people go bankrupt in the U.S. than critics claim, but people in other health care systems also incur high medical costs.
The claim that half of all American bankruptcies are associated with health care costs originates from a deeply-flawed 2005 study that artificially inflates the number of medically-linked bankruptcy through sloppy definitions and overly-broad categories.
In tax-funded systems like the U.K. and Canada, it is virtually impossible to declare medical bankruptcy. British and Canadian citizens do, however, incur large debts by seeking treatment out of the country or by paying for-life saving medications out of their own pockets. In both Canada and Europe, it is much more difficult and costly to declare bankruptcy than in the U.S. so fewer people are likely to do so. However, bankruptcy rates are rising.
In the Netherlands, many people struggle with health care costs. In 2007, 240,000 people failed to pay their premiums for at least half a year.9 Those who default on premiums lose coverage – but must be accepted by other insurers, creating a “merry-go-round” of debt.10
In Switzerland, the process of declaring bankruptcy is complex and often debts are restructured in lieu of bankruptcy.11 But bankruptcies are also going up, rising 8.2 percent in the first half of 2007 over the previous year. In 2006, 150,000 people lost health services because they had not fully paid their premiums. The cost of unpaid premiums is currently estimated between 300 and 400 million Swiss francs
Health care in the Netherland and Switzerland are simply highly regulated private insurance systems. They do not resemble Single Payer in any way. Unfortunately, they vaguely resemble ObamaCare. How they differor how they are related to bankrupcies is not completely clear from what I have read. There
You mean the 7 largest Companies with Medicare accounting for well over half the population. Ok..
you believe they are fraudulent.. I assume that goes for Private insurance as well.
But on a Pro/Con Scale. any good effects will be outwieghted by the sheer volume of negitive effects.
So, you say that Medicare accounts for more of the population than all the other insurance providers combined . . . . and you think it's remarkable that Medicare denies fraudulent claims at a higher rate than any one of those 7 Insurance companies
NO. I dont think that.
Medicare enrolls 47M
United Health 84M
Top 7 enroll 277 Million
#10 on the list 9.5M with a 1.47% market share. So do I really care what #37 does?
ALL children in this country have Health Insurance.
What are you referring to?
What are you referring to?
I am referring to the whole host of Federal, State and local programs that cover uninsured children. Where thier only problem is getting lazy stupid parents to realize they have coverage. Or the PC term Awareness of the programs. Having it and using it are two different things.
