Yes, and because of this massive influx of insured people, you will have longer waits for everything--including emergency rooms---that will result in more deaths. Ok, so we get UHC which means people can now reasonably go to the hospital, because they can afford it. And because everybody is doing this, now we have extended wait times (say for even serious, life-threatening conditions), so some people can't get in quick enough (because suddenly our systems are entirely overwhelmed, apparently and unfortunately), and then so they die. Yeah, that really sucks. Systems don't work 100% perfectly, and stuff goes wrong. As opposed to the apparent alternative - we lack any real form of UHC so nobody is going to the hospital because they figured their infection or "weird pain" or whatever would just heal on its own and they can't afford the thousands of dollars in medical bills, and then it doesn't go away and they die? Also you seem to be arguing "we're unhealthy so we shouldn't get UHC because then we'd be strained to handle all that unhealthiness; better to just not do anything about it"? What's up with that? --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
