Question by It’s Your World, Change It: Aren’t Services “Rationed” Under Our Current Health Care System?
If you go to a doctor and he says you need x, y and z done, but your health care provider says “no,” isn’t that “rationing?”
Are you REALLY making decisions about your health care?
Or is some Big CORPORATION making those decisions for you?
Wouldn’t you WANT a system where:
Every resident of the US will be covered from birth to death,
No more pre-existing conditions to be excluded from coverage,
No more expensive deductibles or co-pays,
All prescription medications will be covered,
All dental and eye care will be included,
Mental health and substance abuse care will be fully covered,
Long term and nursing home services will be included,
You will always choose your own doctors and hospitals,
Costs of coverage will be assessed on a sliding scale basis,
Tremendously simplified system of medical administration,
Total portability – your coverage not tied to any job or location,
Existing Medicare benefits for those over 65 will be vastly improved,
No corporate bureaucrat will ever come between you and your Doctor to deny your care?
Will you support HR 676?
