Some people need to travel more and then come back here and see if they still think America isn’t prosperous. https://twitter.com/CharlotteAlter/status/1108699246088409088 …

I've lived in 3 countries in Europe: Hungary, France and the UK (chronologically); all have universal healthcare (in Hungary even eye and dental are free). France, the UK are prosperous = free healthcare is great quality. Hungary poorer and/because corrupt = free healthcare...
that framing of ‘prosperity exists before quality universal healthcare, not because of it’ is critical imo, and where we all keep getting lost in this convo

I don’t think that’s the convo though is it? It’s more like why are countries less prosperous than us able to afford this and why can’t we do something so obvious that would both unlock a lot of human potential and provide a basic level of dignity?

I'm with you on this Kim: I think at the end of the day how much we allocate for basic healthcare says a lot about what we a priori assume re human dignity (and our community). And I'm with Mike on being realistic about *where* resources actually come from for that.

That is true but can be built in parallel - see economic reconstruction of postwar UK *alongside* building the NHS. See Dittmar on Reformation/institutions in early 16th c Germany, on VoxEU, same thing. (Plague -> need hospitals -> middle class takes charge -> good for economy).
