@henryfudgeofficial: Abdul El-Sayed just won a Michigan Senate primary on public healthcare, and half the country called it socialism. So I left the morality out of it and did something duller. I priced the private system he wants to replace. Strictly the economics, private against public: what Americans actually pay to keep the private model, in prices, in profit, and in the unpaid hours of their own lives spent fighting their insurers. It turns out the system isn’t badly designed. It’s precisely designed. Just not for health. This is why the NHS is vital, and it’s why America needs a public healthcare system #ushealthcare #abdulelsayed #economics #uspolitics #macroeconomics
So hopefully America will become a civilized nation with proper healthcare, then I can come get some pints without fear that I’ll fall over and declare insolvency

American needs to learn the difference between hand outs and a safety net.

We always complain about “who’s going to pay for it?” My brother in Christ, you already pay obscene insurance premium every month to a random middle man for no reason at all. only get denied on coverage you need or only get 1/3rd of it covered. It is the dumbest system in the world and the arguments for it are even worse.

The funny thing is that studies exist that suggest that universal healthcare has a meaningful positive effect on entrepreneurship which is not something one would instinctively associate with socialism…

America doesn’t have healthcare due to racism. If it fully exclusive to just white people they would introduce it

American here: we are drowning in the cost of health care. The cost keeps going up because there’s no cap on how much insurance companies can raise rates so any increase in our paychecks is gone to health insurance, and now we don’t have the money for basic necessities because everything is so expensive now and our government is blowing money on war and corruption while we are just trying to live. 😳

what i find funniest is the Americans who are most against free/ cheap health care are often the ones who will need it the most in the future

My biggest fear of Reform gaining power is losing our NHS! Without health, nothing else matters. It should be the most important factor in voting chose for everyone

The irony is that Israel has handouts to the Israelites such as free health care, free education, free housing, free social care funded by American Tax payers. So they are funding a “Socialist Country” ???
