I have been thinking about about the overloaded costs of our system. There are more hidden costs then we may recognize.

Lets talk about what would be less of a problem with a universal system.

Would our soldiers have problems receiving care?

More people would seek treatment for minor issues, rather than wait until it becomes a major problem.

Insurance rates across the board would decline non-medical, no longer responsible for paying emergency medical expenses.

Doctors could once again focus their efforts on fixing you, instead of working the insurance system to get paid.

It could be paid for completely by, taxing all war profit at an absurd rate because isn't absurd to profit from building what is meant only to kill and maim on a mass scale.

As I see it a system that denies a person help when it has such ability does not intend to provide life liberty and the ability to pursue happiness, for those it denies. Hence, it puts an unconstitutional burden on those with the least economic power. The question is do we believe that economics determines liberty? The current system you get what you can afford, or what your insurance is willing to pay. If you can only afford crap insurance you don't get the liberties of someone who pays cash.

Profit as the motivation factor for health services is recipe for those who want profit, to burden those who want service.
