Any senior who votes for Oslime is brain-dead and ripe for his death panels.
An accident or a disease can happen to anybody, and a decent coverage of the medical costs for treatments, surgery or medecine can prevent many people from being ruined when they must suddenly face high expenses.
We are also having polemics about rising hospital treatment and medicine costs, but the hospitals are getting support from their municipalities, and they rationalise as much as possible, especially with generica and shared units. There are also too many specialists and too few generalists, and measures are already taken to regulate their more balanced spreading in cities and on the countryside. Luckily, we can vote about new initiatives and legislative matters. There was once a proposal for one only public insurance, but it was refused.
For the time being, most of the health and accident insurances are private, and there are also public organisations. There is a certain competition among them, which helps to avoid too drastic rises on the basis insurances. There are of course obligatory coverages and facultative additional services for the richer ones. For the working poor, the social organisations are paying the differences, if they cannot afford to pay the whole basis charges of the social insurances. But the problem is that many poor people are ashamed to ask for social help, even if they have to pay the money back when the situation does improve.
There must be an alternative to avoid such losses, and that without salary...

There are many openings for SME's which could fill the gaps left by the outsourcing of certain big companies which ought to pay for the damages caused. Only the investments are often slow, as most investors want fast benefits instead of sustainability.
The whole mentality must change and understand that speculation for high benefits must be banned.
So with all due respect until you are here and living with the situation I really think your opinion is useless. That is unless you are just a troll with a fake profile.
According to the diverging information, I heard quite different views from the USA. The former health insurance system was not obligatory and non-insured people could ruin themselves with unexpected medical cost in case of a disease or accident. Now, that there is an obligatory public health insurance, it seems that working poor pay less (because they cannot afford it) than the richer ones, who will probably have to pay the difference, or am I wrong, if I am assuming that the middle class pays most?
You are telling me that the hospitals are insured, but what about the patients, isn't their insurance covering such fees?
And don't the hospitals get support from the government or their counties?
This system sounds indeed complicated, considering that in the U.K., everybody has free access to basic medical care, and that the counties are financing the hospitals, although there are also changes there.
I am wondering if the Americans realised that they were betrayed by the richest ones, their own, too much profit oriented big companies, and especially the insurers.
There is NO middle class in the United States there is the wealthy elite, the worker class, and the poor. we are becoming more & more like a third world nation where there are 2 classes, Elite & Peons (aka slave labor) Many Americans do realize we have been betrayed by the wealthiest 1% but many are deceived by trolls spouting un-substantiated data that they received from "their know it all spouse" or Foux snews or some Koch brother or Walton ALEC troll paid to disinform. http://www.alternet.org/media...
Many worker class individuals are duped into believing this hogwash as they dream they too may become a wealthy one percenter if they support policies giving the wealthy more & more.
I got indeed contradictory information from different sources, and I would therefore rather prefer European news. I do not think that I have been impolite or respectless by explaining our system.
That doesn't deserve an insulting answer and blocking off. I therefore reported about an abuse by Headhunter 13.
I remember indeed how the lower classes were always fed with the "American dream", and that instead of realising their plans, most got indebted or lost all.
You are right, the middle class disappeared with all the SME's from earlier times, and the working class is more or less exposed to precarity, depending on the job conditions.
My compliments for your excellent analysis.
Also, for your information, no one can force a patient or employee patient to take any vaccination.
Maybe you like the swiss person are not as informed than you think
Now on to the administrators. The CEO is paid 1.8 million a year plus bonus,the 12 VPs are all a little over a million each plus bonus, Directors and there are quite a few at 500,00 to 750,00 and there are even more of them. And this is a non profit. They made a cash reserve of 90 million last year alone and complained about it.
She has 3 supervisors on the chain of command in her office that have never done her job and can't actually do the job and all make over 70,000 plus bonus. If a she or a peer has a problem they cannot get an answer or resolution from the supervisor they need to go to each other. Oh BTW they took all bonuses and incentives from the people that collect the money and even tried to freeze salaries at a cap 3 years ago. But only for the hourly people not the administration
As a senior I can tell you that the Romney/Ryan plan is the best for us.
