Cons:
It costs trillions of dollars.
The pros are that he doesn’t have one. (Really, he has never produced a plan)
The cons (he’ll sign anything that gets us closer to the Public Option none of us wants)
Pro, we join the rest of the civilized world and have a healthier population, the cost of medicine comes down considerably.
Cons, we have to pay for it.
well there is no plan thanks to the republicans and democrats bitching over nothing until a few weeks ago since then they’ve been bitching about apologies
Pros:
If it worked perfectly, our taxes would support the public option. Private insurance companies would still exist, and you could choose to purchase insurance from them as you do now. The medical system would probably mimic Canada’s or Britain’s–look them up.
Cons:
Taxes subsidize the plan. As with the military, the postal system, public schools, etc. there’s a ton of room for financial negligence. The national debt would most likely rise by a substantial amount. Taxes would most likely increase. You CAN buy outside insurance, but like the school system, you’re still taxed for health care if you choose private enterprise. Private enterprise would have a much more difficult time coping with a “free” product. Finally, once in place, the public option would be extremely hard to dismantle if it doesn’t work. Britain’s NHS is one of the largest employers in the world, and you could bet America would be the same.
Pro: If you get sick and you don’t have insurance, you can still get health care and not have your family destroyed by massive medical bills.
For instance, say you lose your job due do an unexpected disability and you’re the primary earner, you’ll be able to get care without destroying the finances of your family.
Cons: Just like social security, unemployment, medicare, it will cost the majority of Americans extra money.
