The entire political spectrum is debating over healthcare policy going back to before the creation of the Affordable Care Act, claiming either it drove up healthcare cost and it needs to be repealed and replaced, or that people need relief and coverage to avoid future illness in the form of universal healthcare for all. The argument has become treacherous and split the voting base.
But healthcare policy alone will not change the cost of healthcare, but only change how it is administered and how many people receive it. It does not solve the underlying problem of the cost. The cost is the result of insurance company’s greed and how they continue to raise cost to make it unaffordable.
Politicians do not address that issue, they only address how it will be administered and to whom. The greed of the insurance companies has driven people into debt and bankruptcy, taken away care services that at one point was free or affordable, and have jacked-up the cost of everything from childbirth to cancer treatment, to emergency care. Not to mention they have locked out millions of people from receiving basic care.
Ambulance service is an added bill. Pain killers and anesthesia for surgery cost more, and hospital stays have been limited to one day or outpatient services the same day. Not to mention the cost of medications and prescription drugs. The fact that many people are being denied coverage for potential surgeries, reoccurring conditions, and illnesses that are treatable with little to no effort, will all drive the public into a sickly state of being. They learned nothing from COVID.
Insurance companies have to be regulated or capped at what they can charge in relation to the illness they treat, not based on how much money they can extract from working people. Unfortunately, the companies fight for deregulation and lobby and bribe politicians to side with them on that issue. These are crooks without compassion for the people and use illness as a fast track to wealth.
This is more a moral issue than a political one because policy alone will not fix the problem. Regulation and simple compassion and duty to the public health from insurance companies should be the focus. But in today’s political climate, money and power have overtaken humanity and basic care.
