This is in contrast to say, asking how we would pay for a high speed rail from New York to LA. You see…we don't have one. We'd have to redirect 1000s of engineers, laborers, and natural resources to build it. In other words, we'd have to ask what we'd give up in order to do it.
But we wouldn't have to give up anything to do Universal Healthcare, because we already have the hospitals. The doctors are already getting paid. We just have to stop denying care to poor people, and change the bureaucracy of how the money is gathered from insurance to taxes.
I'd a yank airbnbing last year Chatting, he asked "You've socialist health care here in Ireland?" I'd to explain that he has US 'healthcare', the rest of us just have healthcare Whether to have 'socialist healthcare' was a conversation that started in 1870 & ended decades ago
Best response. The American sistem is the weird one.
Doesn't less people getting access to Healthcare denied result in more work to be done = more money required in total?
True, it’s not so simple. There will be more resources used, but also universal healthcare means people are treated early before treatment becomes really expensive. Another thing that happens is that suddenly the state has an economic interest in prevention of maladies.
Nearly a trillion dollars a year in 'defense' spending. Bases in 100+ countries... yeah, there's plenty of fat in the system that can be trimmed. Poor people can't be denied emergency care, or care for a fatal condition - its the law... and why hospitals charge the insured more.
But that would be socialism and VENEZUELA
The scary part is that because of our present mismanagement of our health care infrastructure, we are /losing/ ground. For example, the widespread closure of rural hospitals. Also, increasing religious/catholic control reduces offered services. We need to move soon to save this
Don’t even need the taxes?
how much more money would be available for health care if the for-profit insurance industry didn't get in the way?
The last sentence is the critical point.
