| Jump to Survey | Who's "we"? | | Jump to Survey | If people can't buy extra medical care, then everyone has roughly the same access to care, whether that's how it plays out in practice. However, I didn't say "the rich." I said "people who can afford to pay for it." I'm not necessarily opposed to people being able to pay for supplementary medical care if they want to--I'm not entirely sure I'm in favor of it either, but whatever. The point is to have *any* medical care for people who otherwise don't get care unless they go to an emergency room. Regular, preventive care for everyone would go a long way toward decreasing the amount of money we spend on medical care, since it would keep more people out of the emergency room, too.
Maybe I'm confused about the public option versus a single-payer program. The former is an acceptable stepping-stone on the way to the latter, though. | | Jump to Survey | Yes, although now I can't remember what it was. |
