state-of-the art healthcare? Cutting edge treatments will always cost more. Rare diseases will always be expensive to diagnose, treat, research, and medicate.
Why do people buy into the idea the the government will wave it's magic wand, rainbows, unicorns, and butterflies will all appear, and that everyone will have incredible health care without any unintended side effects?
The fact is that every system will leave someone out. In every system, some people will die who could have been saved. Some children won't get care that could help them. Some people won't live as long as they could.
Why do people ignore this when talking about state run health care or insurance? Insurance policies have a lifetime max. Insurance companies figure out the dollar amount that you're worth. While this seems cold and calloused, it's essential to prevent bankrupting the system. Either you do that or you bankrupt America and likely cause a global depression. Is that going to be good for the sick, poor, or needy?
