Letters on Healthcare Reform in the D&C: 2 out of 3 ain’t bad
Two are pro-public option, one fear-mongers using the standard “healthcare rationing” smear about Canada. Read them here.
They must not have read about how popular, low-wait, and effecient Canada’s healthcare is, especially in Quebec.
And speaking of rationing:
The U.S. already rations care. Rationing in U.S. health care is based on income: if you can afford care, you get it; if you can’t, you don’t. A recent study by the prestigious Institute of Medicine found that 18,000 Americans die every year because they don’t have health insurance. Many more skip treatments that their insurance company refuses to cover. That’s rationing. Other countries do not ration in this way.
Health Insurance companies are spending $1.4 M a day to convince you that they’re awesome and that Medicare for All sucks. They’re scared. Wonder why?
