My daughter is an ICU RN, their problem is getting patients in, because people are broke and have no insurance- you can’t sell, or provide, what people have no money for.
At least no one has mentioned the “everyone has health care – just walk into an emergency room!” nonsense that Rush propagated. In fact, for-profit hospitals have been known to “dump” poor people at the doorsteps of nonprofit hospitals – a disgusting act, but well documented.
satipera4- had to add an apostrophe “t”, maybe making clearer that a lot of hospitals ARE having problems filling beds, not because people aren’t sick, but because they can’t afford the care. I share a board with a hospital administrator. Though our little community hospital is doing okay,(barely) he has noted his sources do reveal there is a real problem around the country for hospitals because people just can’t afford it. Yes, our healthcare system has earned an indictment.
Health care is not a god given right nor should it be it’s a service, no ins or money you still get service just not as good try that with a garage or body shop supermarket or any thing else.

The real bad guys have all been elected by us. They just try to get elected again. Their healthcare plan is wonderful…..they let us ‘eat cake’.

The fastest way to an affordable health care system and a balanced Federal budget is public campaign financing.

People in the health care business need to learn to live within OUR means.
