Why isn't Healthcare affordable?

Because the government got heavily involved and everytime the government gets its hands involved in something no matter how big or small it is they frick it up

Because you are paying for the Healthcare of millions of leeches before you ever step foot in the Doctors' office.

Add to that the piece of shite Lawyers who will sue for every stubbed toe and you have your answer....

Because we do sick care. Which is significantly more expensive. Instead of really pushing healthy lifestyle changes to cure diseases we prescribe lifelong drugs to treat symptoms. Couple that with a growing trend of people using emergency rooms as primary care.

Notice how big of a push for “fat is healthy and beautiful” is happening? Which is why is was a joke when liberals told us to trust the science.

The whole point of Odumbf*ckCare was to make it so that people who were doing the right thing would get f*cked. In the end, you not only had to pay for you and your family's healthcare, but you also had to pay for the healthcare of a bunch of Odumbf*ck's lazy arse, f*cking voters.

Only, instead of doing it as some sort of direct tax, Odumbf*ckCare simply used the health insurance companies to collect from you to pay for the scumbag Odumbf*ck voters. They are getting the same exact health insurance you’re getting, not paying a f*cking dime for it and you are getting the honor and privilege of paying for all of it

Odumb*ckCare is one of the most disguised, hidden, and MASSIVE f*cking indirect taxes in the history of mankind.

1. You're paying for the throngs of people who have no insurance.

2. You're paying for the throngs of people who go to the ER for anything, even things as minor as a hangnail.

3. There is a massive shortage of doctors and nurses (when looking at the demand).

4. The need for insurance in the first place (doctors need clerical staff who do nothing but deal with insurance companies, that staff costs money and that cost is put on the consumer).

5. Our overly litigious society. The term "ambulance chaser" came about for a legitimate reason.

6. Our increasingly unhealthy foods and lifestyles as a society.

All of these have compounding effects.

We pay for Healthcare through a 3rd party....our insurance. Many doctors won't even see you without it. Only way to pay that 3rd party is increased cost. Also, there's a contractual deal between the 3rd party and your doctor that requires the 3rd party to pay if the doctor deems it to be required, so there's no incentive to give you cost effective care. Doctor doesn't care if the syringe is 3,000% higher than it really should be, the prices have been inflated over time and it's agreed upon that insurance will cover up to that price. That's why health care is broken. That relationship hiding the costs from true market forces.

I heard Dana Perino say yesterday that only 22% of the schools in this country have PE classes for their students. That's pitiful.

Indigent care is factored in the premium for medical care. Including the cost of prescriptons. And since America is supporting millions of illegals swarming across our southern border the cost of medical care keeps rising for everyone.

To put it simply. The democrats get voters, the taxpayers and such get the bill, including the bill for healthcare for indigents.

So remember that next month when you fork up that increase in co-pays and deductibles.

Now you tell me Plugs says we should do more to support illegals and immigrants.

I support legal immigration. My ancestors were immigrants. A country without borders, is not a country.
