They're just afraid they can't afford it, or will be left out on the fringe. The real problem is guaranteed universal coverage as it's now being proposed in a bipartisan bill, so people can sleep nights without being afraid of an illness that won't just devastate their bodies but also their financial security. Then, when the Clinton health plan exploded in his face, he whimpered away, and we've heard nothing from him in the next four years following. The Republicans, with their usual masochistic death wish, avoided stepping into the breach, when almost any simple-minded, sensible approach for universal coverage and cost containment would have won them the day. The central problem of this election is that we're faced with two ninnies who tend to believe in nothing except their personal desirability to be President-elect.
People assume that health care costs are driven up by inefficiency, ineptitude, and greed.
All three certainly exist. But that's not the primary problem. The basic problem is the success of medicine. Good medicine keeps people alive. One doesn't need to go to a statistical manual to know that you'll find more of such people who are chronically ill in the U.S. than in the Sudan.
