Showing Original Post only (View all)The GOP's Amusing Fixation On Health Care "Choice" [View all]
The obvious problem with the GOP's claim about wanting more "choice" in health care is
1: Having numerous options to be under insured or to have access to plans with outrageous deductibles is NOT a choice worth having
and..
2: CHOICE IS EXPENSIVE. It's expensive to administer all those health care plans each with its own pool of cash, different coverage and exclusion rules, different networks, and billing procedures.
Sometimes it's cheaper just to have one plan that covers everything for everyone.
But then the GOP would rather see ALL that money pissed away on needless administration costs, high CEO pay, advertising, profits to shareholders, etc than to see that same money be used to provide real care to the American People.
Of course "choice" is also the only way the GOP can sell a disastrous and inefficient health care model as desirable!
