What I'll never get with some Americans is why they don't want a government run health care.
You don't want a universal health care because you think people should be able to provide for themselves ? Alright, why not, that's an opinion that can be defended.
But why on earth do you insist for private companies to run this ? They'll do anything they can to ramp up the profit margin, which means higher cost and lower QOS for you. State can't be running everything but for something like that ? It makes sense that you let them run and balance it around no loss nor profit so you can at least get what you're paying for ? How can you advocate for this (unless it benefits you directly of course) ?
Terrible take. Profit is not the enemy, poor services and bad treatments are. The way you describe it why not have the govt run everything? There no downside… except it would be miserable. ;)
The insurance would be state run, it would be the exact same thing than it is now except that fees would be calculated to break even instead of making a profit. It would change litteraly nothing to the care provided. I guess paying less for the same thing isn't your cup of tea ?
Obviously there are many things that the government can hardly run but this one is very simple yet vital, it's the perfect example of something that is better run by the government.
Profit seeking businesses are the exact same as non-profits except that instead of paying investors who helped build the organization a return, they seek to pay the executives and employees bloated salaries instead.
That's delusional. Government officials and workers salaries are rarely higher than they're in private companies, it's usually the other way around. And even then, how much bloating does it take to compensate for the literal billions of dividends healthcare insurance pay each year ?
Bro your country is beyond 120% debt, talking about other countries imagined bankruptcy is bold and it's an understatment.
It's funny how you're so fondly believing this narrative but when you're asked to explain the slightest thing about it you can't and instead of having the curiosity to dig in and understand why you believe that (and eventually discover that it's BS) you go like "other country commie shit USA #1" and carry on. It's flabbergasting.
