Taking a machete to US healthcare costs and universalizing coverage are perfectly compatible goals. Problem is more political than economic.
-
@ChMadar enormous percentage of those costs are facilities (hospital) and nursing care. Universalizing only inc and shifts $ to taxes -
@ThePursuit7 but taxes are a cost tabulated by the World Bank in measuring the total costs of Germany, Australia, Canada's healthcare.

@ChMadar@goldmansachs666 there are some major differences ie doc salaries, state paid doc training, and more that skew these numbers. -
.
@BackintheUSA_us@goldmansachs666 It's not a matter of "skewed" numbers. Different systems w/ very different results, and costs. -
@ChMadar@goldmansachs666 not system, total ideology. Cardiologist has school paid for. US tax system then must change.
