[QUOTE="klein, post: 625203, member: 23950"] No system is actually failsafe. Yesterday, on my news here, was a big report about thousands of concerned parents taking thier children to emergency rooms, because of H1N1 scare. And, 99% of them just had the common cold, or a sneeze. Putting a burden on our system forsure. But, guess what ? No extra costs ! (since they are paid upon just being open, not for cliental). Now, if Americans panic like some of us did (or maybe they already do ?). Can you imagine the rise in insurance costs ? Esspecially, emergency rooms, (just to step in the door is $525.00, average there, never mind any kind of treatment they may be given). I guess, in a way, the only fair system would be, to have self payment in order. And people wouldn't "abuse" it as much. But, can't go that way, either, since most procedures, (if needed), would put you into bankruptcy, or death because of lack of funds. So, therefor, I'm still sticking with the government option.
