Well of course not. I have good reasons for not wanting this current plan. You can't say that being worried about "government control", our current state of debt both privately and the debt our government owes to other countries, and the fear that our health care overall could become less valuable are not important concerns.
I wonder if any of you were ever in the military and had to see a military doctor? I was in the military once and I've stated my husband was in it and even in Iraq. The doctors the government employ are either foreign and you can't understand a word they say or they are the ones who graduated last in their class and are just happy to find a job. I see the care people get from the government doctors. I have uncles who go to the VA and a husband who goes. It's scary and I'd be afraid for a life or death surgery to be performed there. A government dentist pulled one of my husbands teeth when he was in the military and they pulled the wrong tooth!!!! He couldn't sue them because they were a government doctor. I don't mind a foreign doctor but I do care if we have current American citizens who are doctors who need a job and they get turned down because a foreign doctor is willing to move here and work for less money. They give jobs to the lowest bidder...who usually is also not the best doctor. I'm concerned that this could be the treatment we get under a "free" system. What would stop them if they already do it to people right now? We need private doctors to start up their own businesses and we need private insurance companies to stay in business. I'd hate to see the government put anyone out of business. Private companies are an asset considering all of the corporations we have today. I understand some insurance companies are corporations but we have local ones that cover doctors in the three or four county area and some that cover just KY. Those jobs keep a lot of families going and it would be a shame to see them lose their jobs because of our government.
