Healthcare has not been left up to private solutions since the beginning of Medicare. If you note, that is when healthcare started going through the roof. |

Well then the solution is obvious. Lets get rid of medicare, that should solve the SS underfunding problem also once we quit wasting money keeping the geezers alive. There are some pretty good right wing arguments that employer furnished health insurance was one of the big drivers in healthcare inflation. That it was a big mistake to give the tax breaks for it.

I agree. Trash Medicare and spend our tax dollars on productive citizens. If a senior for whatever reason didn't sock at least $500,000 away for medical care then let his family bare the burden. If they don't want to well too bad but we all die sometime. However a large % of the ACA haters enjoy their Medicare. They just don't want anyone else to share their pie... |

But Ken, some are going to argue that Medicare is an insurance for which all have paid. Those folks will ignore thst one hip replacement more than exhausts any amount paid in through payroll tsxes. |

Why do you keep going to extremes? Where did I say we should do away with Medicare? I only pointed out that you were wrong when you said that private solutions have not worked. Private solutions have not been in play for many years now. |

Oh geeeese! "spend our tax dollars on productive citizens." Concerning who tax dollars should be spent on: Just so we can all understand, who all does Campken include as "productive citizens? Better yet, just so we can all understand, who all does Campken exclude as those not being "productive citizens?" Addendum: In your Post above about who is whining about "socialized medicine," I'm not sure anyone is whining about REAL socialized medicine. I never dreamed any American would really want it.

Productive citizens are those young enough to have positive results from medical care. Personally I believe that the US should provide health care to all her citizens. However if saving tax dollars is paramount and a choice must be made than our money is better spent on the young. |
