[QUOTE="Beerus, post: 3429, member: 1"] People that complain about healthcare don't understand healthcare. If we had free healthcare in the US, we'd be worse off. It would take ages to see a doctor and you'd end up needing to pay out of pocket for specialists. I don't have a fix for the issues dealing with those who can't afford insurance but I think if we, as a nation, focused more on getting people healthier instead of reliant on medication (I know some are and it is beyond their control but many aren't and have reversible issues), it would be a step in the right direction. Lower the cost of healthy foods for a start so everyone can afford them. Make unhealthy foods less accessible by taxing them higher. Just a few ideas. Having been on state funded healthcare before myself, I know there are options out there for people who can't afford it. I paid $5 a doc visit, $10 for a specialist, and $15 for emergency room visits. This was when I had no income. People need to get better educated on how to find and use these resources instead of complaining and living unhealthy lifestyles. [/QUOTE]
