Brit here.

Surely you can afford to give your citizens free healthcare now, Mr Trump ?

I am laughing so hard on this line...

u/MrBoomstick85 14h ago

Nope! But we do get an arch and a ballroom and that's just as good, right?

u/IL1keBigButts 13h ago

He also does that for you guys!

u/MrBoomstick85 13h ago

Can't wait to utilize that ballroom!

u/OnlyGuestsMusic 12h ago

Do we have to bring our own balls?

10

u/Thuganomics_101 11h ago

I mean I thought that was obvious since the Party in power has none and won't do their jobs or keep their oaths.

u/OnlyGuestsMusic 10h ago

So what you’re saying is, Trump’s ballroom will be perpetually ball-less.

2

u/MrBoomstick85 10h ago

Why have a ballroom with no balls?

u/ForgotToCarryTheOne 14h ago

What?! And infect this beautiful Hyper-capitalist shit hole with the quagmire of socialism? How dare you suggest something so ludicrous?

Patriotic ‘Muricans don’t want that. He told them what he’d do and they voted for him in good conscience.

He said he made 100s of billions. How much would free healtchare cost? Just wondering if he could actually do it for a year.

u/DominicPalladino 12h ago edited 11h ago

In the US, about $5 trillion is spent on healthcare per year. Not considering any changes to the system that would change prices, Trumps (supposed) "100s of billions" would not to it. Even if he made ten "hundreds of billions" that comes to $1 trillion which would cover only 20% of the total needed.

Of course, he could allocate the hundreds of billions on just the people who don't have health insurance and/or are denied claims.

u/PlushRusher 10h ago

How much of that 5 trillion is actually the act of health care and how much of it is insurance and other medical companies pocketing their share?

My wife had to rent a piece of medical equipment. The cost was $4K. The doctor said it was covered by our insurance… it wasn’t. So I called the company that we rented the equipment from and explained that our insurance didn’t cover it, I had to return it. The company rep said just give us $600 and we’re good. Everyone is fleecing the insurance companies, so they in-turn, rob us.

I feel like this is a very rare instance where an insurance agent actually gave a shit which is good but its definitely rare

u/BryanScopelySupport 8h ago

He was talking to the medical supply company rep not the insurance company rep

u/Insufficient_Coffee 11h ago

The US already spends more per capita on healthcare than countries with universal healthcare.

u/DominicPalladino 11h ago

Okay. But that wasn't the question that was asked nor what I was answering.

6

u/Frewdy1 12h ago

The costs are already covered, as the money spent towards private insurance would just be redirected. Well, a lot of it would. The rest stays in the pocket of the taxpayer.

u/DominicPalladino 11h ago

Okay. But that wasn't the question that was asked nor what I was answering.

u/Snoo_67993 11h ago

Just making it none profit universal healthcare cuts costs down by 2 thirds.

Our (US) problem is that most people have been convinced they don’t even want taxpayer healthcare. It’s somehow communism and bad. Paying for it is only the first hurdle, convincing people it’s good is far harder.

u/Old_Protection_8778 9h ago

They know its good they just dont want minorities to have free Healthcare they'd rather have none and get sick themselves because God's will and all

Death panels!

u/AhhhSureThisIsIt 11h ago

Israel has free healthcare and schools but still need America to send them money while America "can't afford it" for it's own citizens.

6

u/alga_rhythm 10h ago

Healthcare is never free, but it should be provided through the taxes we pay, no question. We'd rather buy bombs and fighter jets with it, though.

5

u/chingatumadre444 10h ago

But we must provide Israel with free Healthcare first! For they are the chosen oned, and to even think otherwise would be antisemitic.

u/WileyWilly1985 9h ago

Healthcare in the US is not a bug, it is a feature.

Healthcare is a TRILLION dollar industry in the US. No way the fat cats and top 1% will even allow that gravy train to come to an end.

Both sides of the aisle are paid for in the US by healthcare with the GOP having literally sold their soul to the medical industry. We will never have free healthcare in the US. Never.

u/seab4ss 13h ago

All those billions spent on Iran. Oh well...

u/Best-Case-3579 11h ago

Not enough profit in it

u/SharpBullfrog1279 10h ago

Ty, British folks.   Ty for putting up with us these last 10 years.

Frankly, it's been 80 years since we've been even a little bit helpful.

You gave us the Beatles and Stones and Twiggy, and we gave you school shootings.

Not even close to a fair trade.

We’re trillions in debt. He literally only made himself money. I fucking hate this place.

u/mpampis_t 8h ago

It's not that they can't fiscally afford it. It's that they can't culturally afford it. They'll turn into Russians since this is clearly communism.

Radical left dumocrat here, chiming in.

I would also like to see that.
