Politics Republican Jim Deakin: "Getting Politics Out of Health Care Will Reduce Costs"

Posted by Jim Nintzel on Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 4:45 PM

Republican Jim Deakin, who has joined J.D. Hayworth in challenging U.S. Sen. John McCain in the GOP primary, stops by Arizona Illustrated to chat with Bill Buckmaster. He says he'd filibuster Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court until the border is secure.

That's funny.

The entire civilized, industrialized world decided to get the PROFIT out of Health Care. As a result they pay less than half of what we pay and have better outcomes.

They made the decision that Health Care was a human right and then figured out various ways to pay for it; from Socialized in Britain, to Public/Private in France to Private in Germany, etc.

But they ALL have one thing in common; Health Care is NOT A COMMODITY to be auctioned to the highest bidder for huge profits but a right whose cost should be progressively shared by the community.

It would be nice if getting politics out of health care would include not having legislatures attempt to dictate which procedures are legal and which are not, such as abortion. But somehow I don't think that is what the idealogue Deakin is dalking about

Actually if you look at when each candidate entered the campaign. JD Hayworth has joined Deakin in challenging John McCain in the primary.
