The response to UnitedHealthcare CEO’s murder surely disproves the claim that Americans love the private health insurance system. It’s a political force waiting to be harnessed — but few in DC seem interested.
I never understood that argument and how people bought it.
GOP touted choice, you can choose your provider… But most everyone gets 1 choice, the one from work or nothing
Also then, choose your doctor… But you don’t, the INS company tells you what doctors you’re allowed to see.
There is no choice, there is no free market when it comes to health care, especially during emergencies… Call 911 for an ambulance, you don’t get to compare prices, you take the 1st one available… You are taken to emergency room, you don’t get time to compare services and pick a hospital, you’re taken to the closest one.
