I was bored the other day, so I decided to solve the healthcare crisis. You are welcome. The first thing we need to do is stop being scared of the word “socialized”. I have socialized healthcare, and it’s the best healthcare in the world, literally. I work for a large company and I pay $0 every month for my health insurance. Yes it is a part of my compensation, but they give me a decent salary too. I don’t have to worry about preexisting conditions, I can see pretty much any doctor I want, and I only have a $10 copay. I’m not sure what my prescription drug benefits are, but I’m pretty sure they are good. I also get dental care and a good discount on glasses. If I had 10 kids, they would get the same health care for no additional cost. Why is my healthcare so good? Because I’m part of big group of people who all get the same healthcare and the cost is spread out over all of us. It’s called socialism. The only people who don’t have socialized healthcare are those who have an individual plan that they purchased on the free market. These people’s healthcare is expensive and it sucks. I’ll take the socialist group plan thank you. (continue reading…)
