"BECAUSE THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN CONTEMPLATING THE SO CALLED HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL......WE'LL ALL BE USING TOILET#1 WHILE CONGRESS, THEIR FAMILIES WILL BE USING TOILET #2!!
KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE CLEANING BUSINESS, THEY ONLY BELONG IN THE TOILET!"
My goodness, do you think that putting this claim in captital letters is effective?
Do you really think this is all we need to know?
The evidence strongly shows, your toilet example excluded, that single-payer healthcare systems are far more efficient and far more effectives than our system of private health insurance.
By the way, for your example to make any sense:
What does the city spend compared to what Hyatt spends to maintain their toilets?
Is this city toilet in a city building?
What does the city spend compared to Hyatt's expenses per number of uses for cleaning maintenance?
How many worker hours are invested per x number of user visits for each toilet?
Without this data, how can we reach any conclusions?
It seems to me that we should be concerned about getting ripped off by the healthcare industry. As Americans we spend 17% of our GDP on healthcare and health insurance.
No country in the world, except the U.S., spends more than 10% of GDP on heathcare. We spend almost twice as much as the next biggest spenders: Canada, France and Great Britain. Yet their healthcare systems are either the best in the world or very close to it.
Our healthcare system is rated at 38th best in the world.
Seems to me that that's all we need to know to conclude that government better step in a do something. Things are projected to get only worse in the U.S. if government doesn't do something. We're projected to hit 20% of GDP within 10 years (or so -- check me on that one).
