… so we could make the number of people who die from lack of heal care go down is what you’re saying. And also make healthcare not bankrupt you. Okay.
The NIH says around 26,000 Americans die from lack of healthcare every year Second street org reported 23,746 people died on waiting lists in Canada a year or more ago

Assuming we applied their system, had the same rate of people die on waiting lists, that would be 230,000 Americans dying. Per year.

No we wouldn’t. You’re forgetting every single other factor. Like how many hospitals does Canada have? Having more than them would change that number.

We could build a trillion hospitals and that cotton swab would still be 80 bucks.

It might honestly increase competition. The problem is that they’d probably all just collude or something. The key is cutting out administrative overhead and banning private equity from the healthcare industry
