Itās similar to the education cartel where both see the money a family generates and adjust the prices to basically take the whole family budget. Education prices tuition so the parents pay or student is in debt due to the buying power of the parents. Medical system runs the credit of the patient and knows their assets so in civil court they can claw it.
Health became a cartel. Cartels are not a good thing in economics. Itās basically an oligarchy where hospitals, insurance, and pharmaceuticals collude. Medical professional licenses use to have a seat on the table but got kicked out when private equity came in and bought the hospitals.
Strawman argument: I didnāt say it wouldnāt cost anything. Right now private health insurance spends over 20% of their operating budget on administrative bs. Thatās not including the 9 figure CEO salaries and stock buy backs. Government healthcare on the other hand spends around 8% of its operating budget on administrative bs and doesnāt pay a ceo tens of millions of $ a year to maximize shareholder profit.
If youāre spending 20% of your income on healthcare. And universal healthcare is a 10% tax increase, youāre saving money AND there would be no more uninsured people. No more deductibles and copays. No more in network/ out of network. No more switching doctors every time you change insurance. Eat my ass
You still have yet to explain how that makes sense. So tell me why I should pay more than someone else when we are getting the same benefits? Also you know that trying to be seen by a physician with a country that runs that makes it substantially harder to be seen. The U.S. is already short on doctors as is and next to impossible to be seen in a timely manner.
Do you understand how Medicare disperses funds or how government gives insurance companies subsidies? Do you know what that even means? Let me break it down for you. The government gives insurance companies money, from our tax dollars, to fund payment for peopleās treatments. Thatās on top of you, paying the insurance companies premiums and deductibles, and on top of that, insurance companies can still refuse to cover or pay for your treatments. Even if they themselves have āauthorizedā it
So in reality, insurance companies are double dipping from the government (aka us) and us directly. lol So yea, universal healthcare will cost some money, but they wonāt have to tax us more. Itās the same propaganda that makes people fall for stupid shit all the time. And how do I know? You call it Obamacare instead of Medicare/Medicaid.
Wait, so someone who makes less than the rich gets the same service as the rich person. We better stop all of that. End the postal service, the fire department, the police department, the roads, and everything used by the public⦠It makes sense because the health of Americans is in the best interest of the state. Weāre letting the rich rip us off.
