Here is what I would like to see:
If you want free health care, your citizenship would be modified
a. You would not get tax refunds
b. government would make all decisions for you
c. You must have a paying job approved by government
d. All healthcare would be provided
e. Insurance is not authorized for this categoryAll healthcare for those 18 and under would be provided, unless parent(s)/caregiver opt out. If they opt out:
a. Parent(s)/caregiver would then be sole decision maker for any medical procedure or any invasive procedure.
b. Parent(s)/caregiver would also be financially liable for all costs
c. Parent(s)/caregiver would also be able to offset costs via all available means
d. Job requirement is in effect.Of course, even with no children, you may elect to opt out of free healthcare. The rules of number 2 would apply, except the job requirement. How you pay is your business.
It would be interesting to see how many would elect the free healthcare option under these conditions. I am guessing people would elect the free option by a landslide, probably 75%. We have lots of sheep in the US.
Very interesting Idea, I would love to see a poll on this and see actual numbers. I think if the government just offered a basic package for people under 18, they wouldnt have many people give up their current care because its likely far superior.
