 Citizens could simply buy catastrophic insurance for major risks, and the clinics could do all the daily care. A community could even buy a hospital. Residents could buy in at a reasonable rate.

Eliminate the middleman. Eliminate the bureaucracy and the paperwork.

Sounds like the town where I grew up, community built a hospital and clinic, hired a couple doctors.  People went to the doctor when they were sick (and paid the bill.)  People went to the hospital for emergencies or procedures (and paid the bill.) 

Of course, the DUmmy's problem is the (and paid the bill) part.  When our libtards did all that agitating they are so proud of, they got our government to write literally tons of stupid laws to "protect" the patients (because DUmmies wouldn't be smart enough to just replace a lousy doctor), and now it takes 50 people to do what a couple doctors and a handful of nurses did 50 years ago.   :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

L.A. Emergency Rooms Full of Illegal Immigrants


LOS ANGELES —  This is part three of a five-part series looking at how illegal immigration affects U.S. border security, the criminal, health care and education systems, as well as the economy. Watch the series this week on FOX News Channel.

Overburdened by the uninsured and overwhelmed by illegal immigration (search), public health care in Los Angeles is on life support.

Sixty percent of the county's uninsured patients are not U.S. citizens. More than half are here illegally. About 2 million undocumented aliens in Los Angeles County alone are crowding emergency rooms because they can't afford to see a doctor.

According to the State Association of Hospitals (search), California's public health system is "on the brink of collapse." In Los Angeles County, patients can wait four days for a hospital bed and up to two years for gallbladder surgery.

Cont...

Anyone see a problem here?

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

They don't.........they wear an eye patch on both eyes.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
