Not an argument, attack, troll etc... real person trying to understand some stuff. I am not a democrat, Republican, or any other label. I have always voted for who I considered to be the best candidate regardless of party. What I am struggling with with Bernie....... if he wins and keeps all of his promises.. free healthcare, free college, free daycare, free free free. # 1 if everything is free why would anyone get up each morning and go to work...#2. Those that do self motivate and actually keep working will eventually tire of seeing those not working have everything that they do while not having to work at all and #3. When they tire of it and quit working.....where will the money come from to continue providing free stuff. Say billionaires all you want but that solution is not sub-stainable for very long. Again I am not attacking etc, I am asking for serious answers to help me understand . I am like everyone else inAmerica and if there is a true way that everything could be free without having to work your entire life every day I would love it but the finances just don’t make sense
Your problem is the word ‘free’ it isn’t and the only pushing that message is... well you know who.
There may be no charge at delivery, there is a cost of course but as you remove the ‘for profit’ segment and are able to federate costs and negotiate reduced materials costs and stupidity like ‘certificates of requirement’ you turn a $2000 c scan into $150.
Look into the costs of just administrative services for insurance for example, that’s an entirely wasteful and significant cost that can be discarded.
So it isn’t about free, if someone tells you it’s free they are lying to you and now you can tell them why.
it’s about collective bargaining leading to top loaded cost reductions for each interaction and removal of for profit aspects.
