    1/2 the left.

    They are convinced that all insurance companies are heartless. That is why we need a NHC to save us poor serfs!

    They should not covered the uninsured.

    So far the CDC is picking up the bill for all of it. As in you and I paying for it....

    Now the insurance companies will pick up the cost for the insured....As in not you and I paying for it....

    Under a NHS you and I would be paying for all of it forever, and it would be of a lesser quality for everyone.

    So we do not need nor want a NHS. This is just one more proof.

    But the USS Bernie looks to be smashed upon the rocks and sinking and the NHS is going down with him. :)

    It's exactly why we do not need a "public option" or we can call it what it would really be, a NHS instead of you cute little name….

    The people who are paid to cover this are. System is working as designed contrary to all the whining from the left about the insurance companies.

    So how does this show the need for a NHS?

    So, we should be grateful to the insurance companies that they are not demanding the government to cover for their covid expenses, which the insurers are contractually required to cover anyway? Somehow, this whole thread makes zero sense.

    Because people remain uninsured, people pay the highest rates in the world for similar levels of care and because we should not be beholden to a corporation to approve our care that we overpay for.

    1. Insurance is not a right, I pay for mine. If pope are uninsured then that is not the issue of everyone in the country.

    2. Bull, and don't go posting your links from your world health groups (i.e. socialist) or leftie websites, I'm not interested in that biased mess. You can choose to be insured or not, you don't like the price or coverage then don't cover yourself.

    3. We are not beholden to them. It's a contract like any other.

    4. If you feel you overpay, then don't take the coverage.

    I am not responsible for your health care, you are not for mine. Feel free to give your money to whoever or whatever cause you want, keeps your paws off of mine unless it is a pubic responsibility item that is being paid for.

    Ah cool, so you won't mind the waitress — that cannot afford insurance and has been forced to come into work even though she feels sick and has the virus — handling your food? Right? As you said, not your concern.

    It isn’t quite that simplistic but I guess it is too complex for some to understand.

    Healthcare is a public responsibility, that is why every other first world nation has adopted it as a public service.

    I wonder how many taxpayer items you directly and indirectly benefit from while you sit on your throne of faux superiority?

    I'm curious how you think insurance works, exactly. You think you aren't paying for the testing and treatment of anyone covered by your same insurance policy?

    No I'm not concerned, at all. Not even a tiny little bit. Covered that on numerous other threads about this crappy virus over hyped event.

    Healthcare is not a public responsibility. I don't care whatever every nation as done, we are not every other nation, we are not any other nation nor should we strive to be.

    You want to speak about faux superiority? Let's talk about the people pushing for a NHS for the "health benefit of all" and "compassion for those in need", well except for unborn babies they ripe out of the womb and kill...they get no compassion. The left is so full of their self righteous BS.

    Who said you should be grateful? In anyway, either implied or directly?

    I said it was proof we did not need a NHS. The insurance companies are doing what they are suppose to do, no need for a govt run system. The system we have now works. You let big govt in and they will screw it up. The entire left is crying about how bad the govt is handling this corona mess and then yelling they want that govt to take over the health care system in America. That is what makes zero sense.

    Healthcare is a public responsibility, more and more Americans agree with this with each and every poll (even conservative ones before you cry about the source)

    I am against abortion in most cases after fetal development begins, but I understand assumptions make deflection so much easier.
    It is much more ‘compassionate’ to call for living persons as well as those in the womb to have clean air, clean water, shelter, education and healthcare than it is to force women to become incubators to an authoritarian state that then denies them a public service that everywhere else has figured out.

    Evil is the word I am searching for...

    They are doing what they are paid to do, and the bare minimum at that.
    Also, you confuse trump as ‘the government’, he isn’t even a functional man much less representative of the entire government — yet at least

    You already admitted we're all going to pay for the uninsured via the CDC (a.k.a. the government). How would it be any different if we were all under an NHS?

    Trump is not the govt, nor was Obama before him....

    You turn over health care to the govt you turn it over to the next 25 + POTUS and the respective elective member of the House & Senate....nobody knows how they will handle it. No thanks. Think a little longer term than you are.

    And enough of the silly "Trump gonna take over the govt for life crap!" Y'all have been screaming that mess since election night in 2016. It is not going to happen.

    The left likes big controlling govt not the right, if anybody tries that mess it will from the left. We are the "paranoid" rednecks with lots of guns incase someone tries remember? :)

    The amount we pay perhaps?

    Pay for the uninsured = $$$
    Pay for everyone = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    And the CDC is paying for this corona mess, not for all types of health care as a NHS would.

    Tell all the Americans that are not supporting Bernie in enough numbers to get him the nomination since it is his prime platform.

    Tell the Americans who voted Trump in when one of his prime promises was to repeal Obamacare.

    A few people seem to disagree with you on that...

    The second part, rubbish. Force women to become incubators? Force? If we are talking rape victims then I agree 100%, forced. But the overwhelming majority of pregnancies are not rape and thus they are not forced to become incubators. That's a crap talking point to justify abortion.

    And here we go down the slippery slope...shelter? Now I'm responsible for shelter of others as well? Says who?

    I'm going to bed, I work 6 days a week, 10 hour days. I have my family and myself that I need to provide for, that who I am responsible for.

    Guarantee I am a bigger redneck with more guns than you ;)
    Your ignorant threats aside — virtually all social programs that are enacted enjoy extremely high approval after only two years.
    We only need one administration to use the loopholes and vested power given to them because congress doesn’t want to be accountable and a national healthcare option will be on the books. Republicans should start trying to figure out how to make government better instead of just always trying to burn it down.

    It will be law within the next decade. Watch.
