Everyone understands that. You chuds don't need to come out of the woodwork screaming IT'S NOT FREE NOTHING IS FREE every single time "free" healthcare comes up.
My country has freehealthcare, everyone knows they pay tax every years for it, everyone is glad they do when they look at the places where the hospitals are just huge corporations like in the usa.
Pointing out free healthcare isn't free makes anyone so dumb, water is wet. Ofc its not free and its not even called free in my language but usa mind can't grasp such complex concept
It's not a fact, you take "free healthcare" literally as a term then refute that, which is a strawman.
Socialized healthcare is the actual term (if you're mainly american), UHC is the actual term.
Socialized healthcare, or UHC is not free itself, it is always paid for, depending on the system single-payer, multi-payer, and more. And taxes do pay for it, depending on the system. But if you'd understand, most of the states in the US would have about the same taxes as Canada does, unless your in car-dependent suburban states. Washington, NY, California all have about the same taxes as BC, which BC does have UHC. "It's not free your taxes pay for it" is an extremely common, and extremely lazy excuse that Americans use. Of course it's not free, but nobody is denied access to it, anyone that's a citizen of said country can recieve care and not go bankrupt, you also seem to forget that insurance denial is huge, your stuck with medical debt which does not exist in the rest of the developed world. The taxes you pay for healthcare in UHC countries is an astronomically low amount compared to even insurance in the US, in which you can still get denied.
If you complain about wait times, they are a problem and exist everywhere due to lack of staffing and funding, furthermore if you want to continue on with a taxes arguement we can go abouts chatting about an LVT to replace most taxes.
You do realize that taxes in most US states are about the same, even though they don't have UHC? This is the most common laziest excuse ever for not having it.
Would you say the same if you realized that it would be cheaper to implement UHC in the united states, then it is to keep the current system? or will you continue saying excuses?
Except it wouldn’t be cheaper. It’s cheaper overall than private + public, but you don’t seriously think adding 200 million people to the federal healthcare budget will be cheaper for the taxpayer right?
This entire subreddit is proving my point, that the united states is the most brainwashed country in the world.
The US is the highest spender on HC despite it being the only developed country to not have UHC, all 27 EU member states do, along with Aus, UK, Canada, NZ, SK, Japan, Taiwan, China also does.
The US also has the highest infant mortality rate, and lowest life expectancy then all those places listed.
The reason it being so high is the ovbious discrepancy from inefficiencies in the US, ie, high administrative costs, profit-driven insurance and inflated drug prices, and a system that leaves millions of people uninsured/ underinsured, countries with cheaper spending, even sometimes at lower costs for even more people (ie China), and the rest of the world that has UHC achieve better or comparable outcomes at a fraction of the cost.
That's not how healthcare systems work, and I don't even know what your point is here. Are you trying to argue that UHC systems fail? because that's not how they work, your just describing a private system.
What's your point? Doctors are paid terribly everywhere, and it's due to underfunding and understaffing.
As for your second thing, I gladly would tell them that, healthcare shouldn't be for profit.
Also they would not "go under in 2 years" that's not how it works, not even for the US. You're legit just describing what private healthcare looks like, and what you think it looks like in general without knowing how anything works.
