They can't ask if you are disable unless it is directly tied to the work you will have to do.

It is not. That is why every attempt to pass it at the state level failed. Also, there are better solutions. This CEO is a hack. Getting rid of the payroll tax will solve a lot of problems as is in that employers will not have to pay employees with healthcare insurance.

@LittleAl016 no, it was popular nationwide. Also, the fact you use the popularity argument shows you have no actual facts, data or logic to argue for M4A which, for me, makes me feel it is a lame system.

Ok, enlighten me. What issue do you want to discuss first?
1
@LittleAl016 no, it is not popular. Even if it was that does not mean it is the right system. Slavery was popular in this nation at one point if you recall its history.

@thesauceman8457 funny you bring up insurance. With many clients insurance companies lose money. My employer pays around $5000 a year for me for my healthcare plan. This past year my insurance company paid way more than that a for my healthcare I received. The difference is made up with other clients they have.

@LittleAl016 what studies? Now you are shifting to the "plenty of studies" argument while providing nothing. Just more talking points
1
@LittleAl016 yeah, a war nearly 100 years after this nation was form. Now you are also supporting force to get your way. So should a war start to get M4A?

@LittleAl016 give the title of an article.

@GladiusOstentis he pushes for a higher min. wage. Why? Because it will harm smaller competitors just like Walmart pushed for a higher min. wage in the past. Also, if he actually understood economics he would know that wealth does not mean only income. A lot of wealth is non-liquidated. So pointing out wealth inequality is a poor argument. A lot of wealth is derived simply by who owns it. Along with that, he does not consider why businesses have to pay their employees with healthcare insurance. A major reason is the payroll tax. Because of that healthcare insurance became a tax free way of paying employees as opposed to giving them a higher wage. Get rid of the payroll tax and he can pay his employees a higher wage and the employees can get their own plan.

@GladiusOstentis I am not making an argument for M4A. Why is healthcare so expensive? The reason is because we lack a free market. Think about healthcare insurance. Most receive it from their employers because, as I mentioned, it is a way to pay employees without paying the payroll tax. Thus, the consequence is that healthcare insurance is healthcare. It pays for all of healthcare across the board. There is a desire to have insurance such as in cases of emergencies. But a lot of healthcare can be paid for out of pocket and planned for. In that case insurance should not take place but does because, again, healthcare insurance is given to people as a form of payment. Compare it to car insurance. Car insurance covers accidents. It does not cover oil changes, new tires, inspections, etc. even though those are needed to make the car safe to avoid accidents. Why? Because you can plan those out ahead of time, shop around and buy. If people were paid a higher wage instead they can benefit this way. 1. They can buy a plan that suits them such as men not paying for birth control 2. If they lose/quit their job they can keep their plan 3. They can get on the plan on a young age and keep it for life like car insurance 4. For cases that are not an emergency they can shop around for the best deal and do not have to worry if their insurance covers them That is are just a few of many benefits. Under M4A it will not be cheaper unless the quality drops. It will not cover everyone because resources do not magically appear out of nowhere.

@Anthonycastle4647 on your point that is why state right's exist. If a state full of people want a M4A system they can create it.

@GladiusOstentis no, you are wrong. Again, employers pay employees healthcare benefits because of the payroll tax. If an employer pays an employee a higher wage they have to pay a higher payroll tax. Thus the work around it by paying with healthcare benefits as it is a tax free way of paying employees. Employees could afford their own insurance with a higher wage, but again employers do not offer that as that will mean a higher payroll tax for them to pay. So they pay with healthcare benefits. If employees pay for their own insurance it will be cheaper as, again, they can get a plan that suits them and they can also force companies to compete. As of now most cannot pick what plan they have and have things in their plan that they will never use. How would government have leverage to lower costs? Look at how much waste government does right now and how poor it is at financing. "Whoever told you that M4A would be too expensive and wouldn't work was paid handsomely to do so." Never said it wouldn't work. The issue is that it is not the utopia you think it is and I feel a more free market system would work better.

@Anthonycastle4647 true, and at the state level it is much easier to change a system.
1
@LittleAl016 how so?
1
A lot of employers do that. You do know that most employers care about their employees?

You can trash him by him not knowing how the economy works. Also, ever thought why he wants to raise the min. wage? Maybe it is to hurt smaller competitors.

Ok, now what happens to quality and access?
1
@annaclarafenyo8185 actually the US has the best quality in the world
1
@annaclarafenyo8185 we have the best quality in the world. We have the highest survival rates for advanced illnesses and have the highest access to advanced care. For example, we offer the most CT scans per capita in the world.
1
@annaclarafenyo8185 not true, we have the highest quality in terms of technology, procedures, outcomes for major illnesses like cancer, etc. You says doctors give unnecessary procedures, and there is an argument for that. But many times those procedures help catch something more severe. That happens a lot. In nations like Canada and Australia people die waiting for "elective" care or because elective advanced procedure is not offered to them. Your anecdotal story does not represent the norm. There are issues with the US healthcare system, but the fact is the quality is high.
1
@annaclarafenyo8185 people do die waiting for elective surgery. People die in Canada waiting for elective heart surgery. Most doctors are great. There is an oath most follow. And a lot is a personal relatiionship with their patients.
1
@halforest1118 it isn't just CT scans, we offer the most advanced care in general. One can argue if it is necessary or not, but the fact people can get them and get them quickly shows how strong our healthcare system is as opposed to waiting months for one.
1
@halforest1118 do more deaths result of improper basic care? There is a study showing that even when given access to basic care people's physical health did not improve. A lot of people can prevent using healthcare if they live a healthier life.
1
@annaclarafenyo8185 yes, people die waiting for "elective" surgery in Canada, especially heart surgery. Most doctors are great. You bring up anti-depressant. I am on one. I spoke to my doctor for months before I was prescribed. It wasn't like she just prescribed it. That is common. My current doctor is now discussing reducing my intake as I am making improvements. Also, doctors typically bill differently than hospitals. For example, I went to the hospital the past year and I received two bills, one from the hospital and one from the doctor. So no matter what treatment I received from the hospital, I was going to still get the same bill from the doctor. Also, if you are so concerned than educate yourself. If you rely on the government to set standards the reality is that you are ignorant and the government will just screw your over.

@annaclarafenyo8185 read the paper entitled "True versus reported waiting times for valvular aortic stenosis surgery" In Can J Cardiol and "Analysis of deaths while waiting for cardiac surgery among 29,293 consecutive patients in Ontario, Canada" " In Heart. People do die in Canada waiting for "elective" surgery. "But you can't expect the public to become experts in medicine," Doesn't matter, don't be a useful idiot. At this point either the healthcare industry screws you over or the government based on your standard. "The government is there to set standards" Ok, and who determines if those standards are the best? Remember, you are the one saying that the people are not experts, so how will they know?
