Why are people so opposed to socialized healthcare? Not Obamacare in particular, but just socialized healthcare; healthcare for all.

a broken ankle costs over twice my yearly wages, now, are you telling me that if you had broke an ankle, well, you ain't gonna want to get it set properly??
by the way, about freedom...
the only way there is gonna be freedom regarding healthcare, for the patient AND the doctor is for it to get back to where there is only the patient and the doctor and no health insurance either. since that interferes alot with the doctor's freedom to treat you the way he sees fit also..

that's how you get medical bills that are two to three times your yearly wages.....by not being part of one of the ponzi schemes.....
if you got the gov't money out of the system, and the health insurance gone, it would be a good starting point though....there are alot of doctors finding out that they can offer affordable care if they just ditch the staff they have to hire to handle the insanity of insurance claims...
Health insurance premiums shot up 9 percent this year, nearly three times the rate of inflation and the most since 2005, a new study shows

why just for doctors?? why not for every field that there is a genuine need for people to be trained in...
and well, instead of forgiving them, we place a small percentage of their income that is to be paid for ten years....
that way, we ain't paying for people to go to school four more years for stupid things like "women's studies" ect, we are just paying to obtain qualified people in areas that we need the qualified people....
what can I say, college education is another big scam that is bubbling waiting to be popped! and it's destroying our young people.

A family member of mine is a retired neurosurgeon (nearly 20 years retired) and was paying about $100k a year in malpractice insurance back then. He gave himself a pay raise just by retiring... It's crazy, I can't even imagine what an OB/GYN is paying these days. Serious tort reform would have been a nice component of a healthcare system overhaul. Perhaps if Obamacare collapses we can finally get it.
