The Quality of health care depends on the size of bank balance?

The quality of health care a person receives should not depend on the size of their bank balance. The government is responsible for providing a high level of health care for all its citizens. Maybe it is true, rich man can receive a good quality of health care because they have a lot of money. Mylotters, What is your opinion about this?

if you are rich,and you receive the same health care as normal people ,what would you think?and further more,if you have the same right as normal people in all directions ,why do people work harder to become rich?i think:the rich should have some privilege ,thus people can have force to do better.

Hey Zhe, Being rich does not mean ignoring others. It is intuitively if we have the money then we will choose the best health care. I think over all, money cannot help people to buy health.

I do not agree with the health care reform if this is what you're referring to. I nor my family are rich and my family agress with the health care reform. I do not b/c my husband and I have great medical insurance through his employer. It is expensive but we get to see the doctors we want to see b/c we like their services. We used to live out in the Bay Area CA and had HMO we love it b/c the doctors we were able to see where very nice and listened to us and our needs. We then moved out here to Northern CA and we were switched to PPO that kind of bummed us out but we found a GREAT doctor! We would never change her. Then our plan got switched back to HMO and we were pissed b/c we love our doc and she didn't take HMO! We couldn't change it b/c we were forced to take this plan through the employer. Then it is going to switch again to PPO in April and we're excited but at the sam time frusterated b/c we keep getting our plans switched around b/c the company wants to save money b/c all business are struglling right now b/c f the economy. NOW b/c of this...companies cutting back every where trying to save a penny! The people are paying for it. Yes at least we have jobs but if they pass the health care reform employers who DO NOT particiapte in the program will be charged a fee so it's almost like they are being forced to go with the government insurance there for people can not chose who their doctors are and will be forced to go to government run hospitals. Look at your government run hospital where you live now. Do they have long wait times? Especially in the ER? Probably so. Do they have good quality doctors? Maybe some not all. I know all the government run hospitals that I have been too are not good so those are the kinds of hospitals we are eventually going to have if the government takes over health care. It'll be a mess! Jobs will be lost b/c doctovers will not be able to have their own practices anymore b/c people can't afford their sevices or their insurance doesn't cover it anymore b/c they are going with the governemtn plan etc. I hope this is not too long and answers your questions!
