    Margaret Thatcher presided over a nation with single payer healthcare. That country still has single payer healthcare three decades later.https://twitter.com/SpeakerRyan/status/1054737964323008514 …

        I mean, technically we're out of money as it is. The whole trillions in national debt thing...

        Several versions of Medicare for all have been proposed which would be cheaper than the current situation.

        Take the Dutch healthcare as an example. There are solutions in between single payer and healthcare only for the rich like the US and it’s working very good.

        Obamacare was based on the German model.

        More importantly: UK taxpayers pay less per capita for @NHSuk universal socialised health care than US taxpayers pay for non-universal socialised health care. (Not even counting additional private care.) You'll run out of your own money before we run out of other people's.

        The US system is broken. I say this as a German living in MI with healthcare through work. We pay so much more than we would in Germany and we‘re healthy. And the system is so muddled and complicated, not transparent at all.

        How about we don't base anything we do on what Margaret Thatcher thought.
