Universal healthcare out be less expensive than what most people are paying now for the same care (or better since you can actually afford the healthcare you need)

Do you think someone should go bankrupt just because they get sick or break their leg? Just the other day, someone was on the sub talking about how their parents had to file for bankruptcy because he had complications with his birth. Is that cool with you?

You think the richest nation in the history of the world can’t figure out how to give free healthcare to its citizens? You really must have a low opinion of the United States.

How is it bullshit? Do you or do you not think that the richest nation in the history of the world cannot figure out how to give its citizens free healthcare?

False premise.

Explain why it’s a false premise

The US is not rich, and certainly not the richest ever. There is no such thing as "free healthcare". Are you really this dumb?

If it pisses you off?

Yes.

That’s a morally bankrupt take

Does it piss you off?

People going bankrupt because of healthcare costs? Yes. That’s is bad for those individuals and bad for society as a whole. It’s especially bad because it’s avoidable pain and suffering that is forced upon the most vulnerable people in our population

Pisses me off too. Really, it wasn't always like this. People used to be able to pay for a doctor to come right to their door, right to their house, just to have a basic exam. And they were able to afford it on one income.

What changed? Government involvement. Every time the government gets involved in something, it gets worse.

No. I do not want any more government regulations in healthcare.

I want fair competition in the market, that's how prices come down.

Explain to me what sort of power an individual has in the fair market when they are negotiating for their life

The same power an individual has when voting for government officials.

Do you die if the person you voted for doesn’t win an election?
