Question About Obamacare

[chris_in_pdx]

Why do people need health insurance?

How about we start by answering that simple question.

If you could just show up at a clinic and get cared for without having to pay or owe anything, what is the point of insurance?

Hello Single Payer!

Hello Single Payer!

It's not single payer. In that system, the govt. just pays the bills to private health care providers. All doctors get paid by the govt. Everyone participates because there is no alternative/

It's like the Veterans Administration. The govt. hires doctors, builds hospitals, buys equipment. Only those doctors hired by the govt. get paid by the govt. Those who want to participate go to the govt. hospitals or clinics. Those who do not are free to pay out of pocket or buy whatever insurance they want.

Keyword being FREE, as in Liberty (not as in no cost, because there is no such thing as a free lunch).
