What's with the "right" to healthcare thing lately? Are we going to enslave the world's doctors? I would be happy to help my neighbors buy healthcare, provided I can ensure they are doing their part taking care of themselves and we are getting a fair price. No slavery though plz.

In Europe, we have free healthcare for decades... Sure, high taxes, but way cheaper than current US system.

If it's "free" somebody is paying for it. We have 50%+ taxes here in California too. We actually use a lot of it on health initiatives, like providing free meth syringes to drug addicts. And then we pay again to pick the used needles up off the street, along with the meth feces.

So, taxes would decrease then? Less spending overall? If we are talking about a human right then anybody in the world can demand I provide healthcare to them and I don’t think even a 100% tax will support that.

It’s a goal not a reality. What’s your vision then? For SF. For CA. The U.S. The world. Sounds like you don’t have one, outside of -let me take care of myself, and mind your own business. Let’s ignore institutionalized racism, let’s ignore generational wealth / + access.
